New Pipeline Integrity Management Solution on the Horizon Adapted from Information by OneSoft Solutions, Inc. OneSoft Solutions Inc. announced its wholly-owned subsidiary, OneBridge Solutions, Inc., has entered into a technology license and joint development agreement with Phillips 66 to create an advanced pipeline integrity management software application. The plan is to take Phillips 66’s current pipeline data management system (PT-DMS) and place it in Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Platform and Services to create Integrity Management Solution (IMP). The IMP will be designed to inte- grate with OneBridge’s Cognitive Integrity Management™ (CIM) solution to be used by gas and oil pipeline operators globally. “This development project with Phillips 66 represents an important milestone for OneBridge,” said Tim Edward, president. “Our vision at the outset was to develop a cloud application that enables pipeline operators to manage their pipeline assets as smart infrastructure. CIM’s machine learning and data science components made achievement of this objective possible, and integration of these components to leverage the high level of industry expertise embedded in PT-DMS will further evolve our vision.” PT-DMS is a comprehensive software solution developed by Phillips 66 as a key tool for its pipeline infrastructure man- agement process. The software addresses numerous key functions including: j Assessment plan tracking j Maintaining assessment attributes j Integrity management process planning, based on multiple tool technologies j Planning and scheduling activities for internal engineers, field teams, and tool vendors j Anomaly worklist tracking which accommodates specific actions on a per anomaly basis j Analyses of data integrity in compliance with API 1163 regulations, general industry standards, internal company policies and priorities j All reporting associated with these functions PT-DMS also addresses supporting functions including: j Data ingestion tools j GPS & data maintenance utilities j Workflows j Job process queues j Integrated security j Other peripheral features and functions which further supplement data management and tasks addressed by PT-DMS “We are pleased and encouraged that Phillips 66 chose OneBridge to help advance their pipeline integrity plat- form,” said Brandon Taylor, CTO of OneBridge. “PT-DMS is one of the most comprehensive and sophisticated pipeline management solutions within the indus- try today, which will ease migration to the cloud and reduce time-to-market for IMP. Microsoft continues to provide strong technical, marketing, and sales support for OneBridge products, and we will continue to leverage the latest Azure and data science technology in the development of IMP. We are grateful for both Phillips 66’s and Microsoft’s collab- orative efforts to assist us to create soft- ware to advance the pipeline industry’s collective objectives of operating cost reduction and zero pipeline failures.” The development project will begin immediately, with a private preview for customers to provide input and feed- back beginning the second quarter of 2018. Commercial availability of the ini- tial version of IMP is expected by the end of the year. 21 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® APRIL 2018
