The key to boosting pipeline performance is to boostawareness of threats -
be prepared to learn which are your criticalpipelines, and what to do to take care of them
WE THINK THIS ISIMPORTANT WORK - THIS IS WHY WE DOWHAT WE DO

Those who engage us enjoy working with our team,and enjoy unprecedented improvement in pipelineperformance with 65% cost savings
INDUSTRY, REGULATORAND PUBLIC ARE ASKINGFOR IMPROVED PIPELINEPERFORMANCE

A "Leak-each-Day" for 35 years suggests a demand forimproved performance is warranted and timely
the key is collaboration and innovation

A small number of pipelines in Alberta share properties justlike those 12,000 pipelines that have previously failed
the method identifies pipelines vulnerable to leakingso industry are positioned to stop leaks
"A-Leak-a-Day"for 25 years
Spills are increasing insize and reclamation cost
Unexpected high-rate corrosion is occurringshortly after start-up of a few critical wells
ALWAYS A SURPRISEALBERTA OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION PIPELINES
Unique patterns for critical pipelines makes them easy-to-spot -
NOTICEABLY DIFFERENTCRITICAL PIPELINES STAND-OUT IN THE CROWD
stopping leaks becomes a suprisingly straightforward task

Leaks are avoided when maintenance work is perfectlyaligned to the actual corrosion threat -
money is saved by stopping all maintenance onpipelines that are under no threat
LEAKS ARE ELIMINATED
APPLY DATA PATTERNS TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL PIPELINES

A simply classification system based on marked differencesbetween critical and non-vulnerable pipelines is brilliant
Pinpointing critical pipelines within public data
sources is straightforward
classifying critical pipelines relies upon their markedly unique characteristics
history shows only a small number of pipelines are vulnerable to corrosion
VULNERABLE PIPELINES A TINY SUB-SET OF TOTAL POPULATION
CLASSIFICATION OF CRITICAL VS NON-CRITICAL IS SIMPLE
a specific localilzed mechanism is at play vs widespread vulnerability
INNOVATION OFFERS SIMPLICITY,CONFIDENCE AND RESULTS
ALL CRITICAL PIPELINES SHARE THREE MANDATORY FACTORS
IT IS THIS EASY STUFF -NOT ALL FACTORS IN PLACE = NO CORROSION THREAT
ALL THREE FACTORS EXIST = CRITICAL PIPELINEpreexisting damage highly likely

INNOVATION DELIVERS IMPROVED PIPELINE PERFORMANCE
INNOVATIONUse data patterns to
classify pipeline threats
RESULTSElimination of pipeline leaks
at reduced cost
NEW PATHWAYConcentrate on vulnerable pipelines - stop spending unnecessary money
on non-critical pipelines
AVOIDANCEChange start-up procedure
on a few critical wells will stop80% of leaks
GOOD GUIDANCEField, Operations work
always aligned with the threat
Field, Operation work consistentlyaligned to the threat -
an alert is triggered when new criticalpipelines arise
Change start-up procedure for a fewcritical wells will prevent 80% of all
pipeline leaks at no cost
Use of data patterns to classify criticalpipelines offers a proven solution to
stopping pipeline leaks
Elimination of pipeline leaks atreduced cost has been proven and
applicable for all companies
Keeping focus solely on vulnerablepipelines stops unnecessary
spending
