Explore Enhancing Pipeline Operations with Efficient Control Room Management

Navigating the complexities of PHMSA/DOT regulations and optimizing control room operations is essential for maintaining safety and efficiency. Understanding the important role of API RP 1168 (Pipeline Control Room Management) and other documents is key to ensuring operational effectiveness and regulatory compliance. Examining the disconnects and alignments within these practices reveals their effect on overall control room management.

As you know, the control room acts as the central nervous system of pipeline operations, monitoring equipment and parameters such as flow, pressure, temperature, valve alignments and more. Effective management of these elements is crucial, especially when anomalies occur, requiring an immediate and precise response to prevent potential disasters. One significant challenge is point-to-point verification, which ensures field instrument readings match the HMI. This complex task involves identifying every graphic where a point appears and is difficult without an application capable of producing the list from configuration data.

In this webinar, discover how we can help you transform your pipeline operations by improving efficiency, streamlining compliance and boosting safety and communication. With seamless shift handovers, effective alarm management and correct procedure execution, operators can maintain high standards of compliance and operational excellence.

Highlights include:

  • Enhancing shift handover procedures to ensure compliance and safety
  • Optimizing alarm systems to increase operator effectiveness and trust
  • System integrations for improved alarm and event data accessibility and communication
  • Effective training tools for control room regulations and operating procedures management
  • How the underlying framework applies to all control rooms in high-hazard industries – not just pipelines
