The challenges of Data Management in the Pipeline Integrity Industry
After the San Bruno, California rupture in 2010, that killed eight people, a spokesman for PG&E, Brian Swanson, said the company was now focused on following the safety board’s recommendations. “ We've acknowledged our past operations and our past record-keeping procedures were not what they should have beenâ€.
We all know that pipeline integrity is a continuous cycle. Risk assessments are performed, threats evaluated, inspections done, results analyzed, mitigation's performed and the cycle continues over and over, hopefully, with reductions in risk levels. There are many factors that impact this cycle and the effectiveness of a pipeline integrity program. Your integrity program exceeds or fails based on your data. Data is used to determine a pipe’s risk levels, the most appropriate inspections, input to calculate inspection parameters, the evaluation of inspection results, and the list goes on. However data management is a challenge for many. If the data is not easily available or altogether unavailable, or if the data that is available is out-dated or just plain incorrect, where does that put your organization?
In this webinar, we’ll examine solutions to the different data management issues such as data quality control, data accessibility, and knowledge transfer. You will learn how responsible and efficient pipeline integrity management can be obtained by using Synergi Pipeline, a proven solution developed by DNV Software.
We will illustrate that easy access to reliable data can save your company money by:
- Reducing risk of having an incident
- Extending lifetime of operations
- Reducing downtime of operations
Register for this webinar so you can learn how to improve the effectiveness of your pipeline integrity program, not just by improving data management but also by increasing the efficiency within your organization, thereby, reducing costs.

Tina Matthias, PE,
Technical Lead / Business Development Manager
I earned my degree from Colorado School of Mines and hold professional engineer licenses in Texas and Colorado. I’ve been working in the Energy sector for almost 20 years, most of that time in pipeline engineering and pipeline integrity. I’ve worked on integrity projects from the operator’s side when I worked for CenterPoint Energy, one of the largest gas distribution companies in the U.S., and from the consulting side at Mustang Engineering, where I managed integrity projects, primarily ECDA's, which require a lot of data mining, data and decision management.

I have graduate and post-graduate degrees from Imperial College London and am a Chartered Engineer with over 30-years experience in the offshore industry. In that time I have been involved with design verification of fixed and floating structures; quality assurance of major reanalysis projects for Shell Expro’s North Sea assets; and more recently in business development providing software solutions for asset integrity management of pipelines and offshore structures.
