Whitepapers
Incorporating more digitalization and edge computing capabilities are integral part of the plans to automate processes and do real-time data analytics. Rugged, secure and highly automated computing systems must protect and support pipeline management applications quickly and reliably.
Stratus Technologies' whitepaper, "Winning at the edge: A new frontier for pipeline management," outlines a new approach to solve pipeline infrastructure management problems. Our solution supports a complete, always-on pipeline system that eliminates downtime and optimizes operations.
Download WhitepaperWith the growth of smarter, device level diagnostics and improved network bandwidth, pipeline operator’s approach to assuring accurate flow measurement is changing, becoming more efficient. This paper explores the application of augmented intelligence (AI) smart analytics to assure the accuracy of custody transfer measurement. It answers the questions:1) does AI add value, and if so, 2) how should it be implemented in my organization
Download WhitepaperLike all critical industries, oil and gas operations make prime targets for cyber threats of all kinds. Yet many management and operational executives can feel cybersecurity is not their responsibility, or they lack the charter, the expertise, and the tools to counter the threats. Together, those attitudes can cause a big blind spot vulnerability that hackers can exploit successfully. This paper provides information on three ways to close it.
Download WhitepaperDiscover the safety benefits of transitioning from line stopping to leak-tight double block and bleed pipeline isolation technology. STATS BISEP® is the true industry-first, leak-tight double block and bleed isolation technology and market leading solution for temporary line plugging. The BISEP offers significant safety advantages over traditional line stop technologies and is available for sizes 3” to 54” and from ambient to 2220 psi pressures. Read about the BISEP sealing capabilities.
Download WhitepaperUltrasonic meters are a proven technology for accurate and reliable gas flow measurement, but not all ultrasonic meters are the same. Read this white paper to learn how you can get a measurement tool with low uncertainty and high rangeability.
Download WhitepaperFlow computer users are at a critical juncture. The measurement and control technologies they have been using are mostly at the end of life and many of the incumbent new offerings are built on technologies and ideas that are already out of date. Learn how a more integrated, connected and cyber secure architecture can improve flow measurement and profitability at the well pad, the pipeline and the custody transfer station.
Download WhitepaperToday’s professionals in charge of the design, engineering, and construction of new onshore compression stations — or retrofits and upgrades of existing ones — have many options and tools to ensure new infrastructure can be built, commissioned, and begin full operation more quickly, economically, and with less risk than more traditional approaches.
Download WhitepaperA quick look at the major causes of midstream pipeline incidents in 2018 reveals an interesting picture. While material/weld/equipment failures accounted for more than 35% of incidents, the major cause for 11.7% of incidents was incorrect operation measures. These figures rightly underline the importance of establishing and maintaining a strong operator qualification (OQ) and safety orientation program for workers. This white paper will discuss:
• The current landscape of pipeline operations
• Regulations and qualifications to know
• How to orchestrate a successful OQ program.
