PLEXOS
international, has completed integration of its Data
Layer Plugin (DLP) and Integrity Risk Assessment technologies within ExxonMobil
to assist in compliance with the US Department of Transportation, Office of
Pipeline Safety (OPS) pipeline integrity rules. The ability of the Data Layer
Plugin to attach to SQL Server, the ESRI Spatial Database Engine (SDE), Access and other databases will allow for integration
of data “where it lives” without need for import or conversion.
As
part of the integration, Plexus trained ExxonMobil personnel onsite in a four
day training session. The Integrity Risk Assessment package allowed ExxonMobil
to create customized risk equations around its current Risk Management strategy
corporate wide. ExxonMobil is managing approximately 12,000 miles of pipeline
within the system. The risk system also integrates with the Facilities
Management system provided by PLEXOS partner, Coler and Colantonio. With this
seamless integration, risk information is presented back to the Coler and
Colantonio Intrepid system for plotting and alignment sheet generation.
