What’s This About• Key Concepts in the New Rules• Why Distribution?• Transmission vs. Distribution Data Models• Practical Implementation at CenterPoint
Energy• Summary
Why New Rules?• Carlsbad, New Mexico, August 19, 2000• 12 people killed• 1Million Dollars direct damage• 18 Million Dollar per day economy hit• Since 1986
– 300 Deaths, 1400 Injuries– $300,000,000 in Property Damage– 2400 Natural Gas Incidents
NTSB Findings• The Major Safety Issues:
– The Design and Construction of the Pipeline
– The Adequacy of the Operator’s Internal Corrosion Control Program
– The Adequacy of Federal Safety Regulations for Natural Gas Pipelines
– The Adequacy of Federal Oversight of the Pipeline Operator
Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002
• DOT is charged with Enacting the Regulations:– Research and Special Programs
Administration (RSPA)– Office of Pipeline Safety– Title 49 of CFR– Part 192 – Transportation of Natural and
Other Gas By Pipeline: Minimum Safety Standards
Key Concepts• May apply to some Distribution Mains• Integrity Management Program• Identify and Characterize Threats• Conduct a Baseline Assessment• Mitigation• Continuously Monitor
New Term - HCA• Applies to the Engineering/Regulatory
Definition of Transmission• Depends on DOT Class Definition• The Nature of the Line Itself• Depends on the Structures Surrounding the
Line• Requires a Complex Spatial Analysis
Applicability of the New Rule• Apples to Transmission• Key Factors
– Specified Minimum Yield Strength (SMYS)– Hoop Stress
• If High Pressure Distribution– Hoop stress greater than 20% SMYS
Treated as transmission– Sh=PD/2t
What is Transmission?
• Transports gas from a gathering station • Operates at Hoop Stress of 20% or more of
SMYS• Transports gas within a storage field
So What?• Different Operating Characteristics
– Pressure (usually less than 500psi)– Configuration– Concerns– Business Processes
• Tough to Meet Inspection– In-line Inspection– Hydrostatic Testing– Direct Assessment
Data Models
• Old data models just tables• Evolved into Data Base Schema’s• Data Model is a metaphor for the real system

Facilitate a repository, within the enterprise GIS, for data to support pipeline integrity regulations
– Within the required timeframe
– Building the best solution for the long term

Existing Data Model ! For gas distribution! Comprised of points, lines, polygons – things with static characteristics! Two dimensional x,y coordinate system
New Data Model Needed! To handle linear data with characteristics that are dynamic in nature
! Commonly referred to as linear referencing or dynamic segmentation
! To allow multiple sets of attributes to be associated with ‘any’ portion of a linear feature
Q: OK, so how do we do that? Q: OK, so how do we do that? A: Develop a new data model to A: Develop a new data model to

Comparison –Either Model ‘could’ work
PODS APDM
• Both data models can be used to store pipeline data for use in a GIS.
• Both have origins with the ISAT data model.
• Both have many pipeline components and attributes. Neither has every possible pipeline feature or component.
• Some of the PODS member companies also participate on the APDM committees.
• Both can be implemented with ESRI GIS technology.
• ESRI is supportive of both.
• User applications will be needed to use both data models
PODS APDM
•• RelationalRelational data modeldata model
•• Platform neutral Platform neutral
•• More work to integrate with More work to integrate with ESRI GISESRI GIS
•• Could affect distribution GIS Could affect distribution GIS system performance since the system performance since the database has to be linked to database has to be linked to ESRI rather than the data being ESRI rather than the data being stored within an ESRI standard stored within an ESRI standard data formatdata format
•• Model must be implemented in Model must be implemented in its entirety to be PODS its entirety to be PODS compliantcompliant
•• Built on the ESRI Built on the ESRI geodatabase geodatabase
•• Vertical integration with Vertical integration with SDE and the geodatabase SDE and the geodatabase with fullwith full--featured featured geoprocessing geoprocessing --------better better able to take advantage of able to take advantage of ESRI geodatabase ESRI geodatabase technologytechnology
•• Only required to Only required to implement “core” tables implement “core” tables --------more flexibility more flexibility
Comparison –Either Model ‘could’ work
So what differentiates these two?
Comparison –PODS and APDM are two completely different
types of database models, designed for two different purposes

Full needs assessmentBeing conducted concurrently with data model effort
Migration of HPT data from distribution model to new APDM dataset
Will be handled by internal resources
Generation of control points and acquisition of additional data
Will probably be handled by internal resources
Purchase or development of various tools/applications
