Learn about modern approaches, for managing, processing and distributing information so that pipeline operators can provide transparency to all constituents. Pipeline operators have seen an uptick in backlash concerning the safety and environmental impact of oil and gas pipelines. However pipeline systems remain the safest way to transport their product. Large datasets and robust processing engines provides pipeline operators an opportunity to evaluate the risks associated with planning, building and operating pipelines. Learn about modern approaches, for managing, processing and distributing information so that pipeline operators can provide transparency to all constituents. AWS Services discussed will include, EC2, RDS, Lambda and QuickSite. Speakers: Ed Wiegele - SVP of Oil and Gas and Jason Cradit - Sr. Director

9. Pipeline Lifecycle
PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS

10. Pre-Construction
Use-case: Generate preliminary routes for new pipeline construction

11. Routing Algorithm
▪ Preferred Weighting
– Example: Private Land Owners, Pipeline Corridors, Powerline Corridors, etc.
▪ Low Avoidance Weighting
– Example: Palustrine Emergent Wetlands, Stream Crossings, Railroad Crossings, etc.
▪ Avoidance Weighting
– Example = Wildlife Refuges, Forested Wetlands, Populated Areas, Slope, etc.
▪ Exclusion Weighting
– Example = Federal Lands, Conservation Easements, T&E Species, Cultural Resources, etc.
