Precision Pipeline Simulations
Built on Market-Leading
Technology and Expertise
Pipeline simulation systems have been available
for many years, but they have been viewed by
the industry as too costly and too far removed
from the real-world, daily operations of their
existing pipelines to adequately train and
evaluate their current and future pipeline
operators on them.
certification for pipeline operators increases.
Companies driven to improve their Health,
Safety, and Environment (HSE) performance
are finding that a rigorous, well-defined, and
ongoing training program can significantly
reduce human error and related incident rates
in any area of their operations.
This is especially true when it comes to pipeline
operators who are monitoring and controlling
real-world functions from remote locations
using computer technology.

Emerson has taken a very different approach

to this challenge. When we build a pipeline
simulation system using PipelineTrainer, we do
it in a way that accurately maps the real-world
operations of that pipeline down to the smallest
details. We are able to do this because we have
not only the industry-leading tools for pipeline
design and pipeline modeling and management,
but we have the expertise to configure and
tune a simulation to accurately model the real
pipeline network under virtually any operational
scenario. For example, what happens if a specific
valve opens or closes? What happens when a
pump goes out? Or, if there is a product leak —
even a small one — at any point in the line, what
will the key indicators be, even if it is below the
alarm threshold?
Pipeline Management Software 11
Capabilities
Once configured, operators can then use PipelineTrainer to run a wide variety of
simulations — from normal operating conditions, to leak or theft detection scenarios,
compression modeling and optimization, slack line conditions, line pack, pigging
operations, routine or emergency shutdowns, and much more.

The simulations are realistic and fully configurable so both operators and trainers can
quickly and confidently learn, without the risk of an error, to create real-world hazards.
Once installed, your training professionals can be taught how to build and configure
new scenarios, tune the system, and manage the PipelineTrainer solution for the benefit
of your company.
PipelineTrainer can be used to help your organization with:
n Ensuring more consistent compliance to operational procedures

assets such as pumps, valves, and pipe headers.
These hundreds of assets may be shared between

lest one operation interfere with another. Careful

even costlier product contamination.
It organizes and consolidates all of the
information needed to perform both long

and monthly plan volumes are processed into
schedules and progress against the plan tracked
on a daily basis. Tank volumes and qualities are
predicted and tracked, including considerations
for blended qualities as differing volumes are
mixed in-line or in the tanks. Tools are provided
to facilitate routing selection and coordination of
terminal assets. Linefill volumes are managed and
basic work order requirements can be produced.

Moving Your Product in the
Right Direction
PipelineScheduler is an easy-to-use liquids The total solution for managing liquid pipeline
scheduling system that addresses the transportation, storage, and delivery.
challenges of moving vast amounts of
crude oil and refined products through the
world’s pipelines.
It provides schedulers with the tools and
information necessary to plan efficiently and
ensure timely delivery of products, including
product movements on batched liquids
and steamed pipelines. It organizes and
consolidates crucial information to support
daily commercial and operational decisions.
By interfacing with other critical systems
at the pipeline company, it can become a
mission-control solution for the enterprise.
PipelineScheduler is a component of an
integrated suite of applications designed
to support the operational and commercial
business processes of liquid pipelines. This
Liquids Management System provides a
single platform from which nomination,
scheduling, and accounting functions can be
integrated and optimized.

GasStream™
The Integrated MidStream Solution GasStream is the new industry standard
The GasStream product is a gas gathering, for integrated gas gathering, processing,
processing, and transportation transactional transportation, and transactional
accounting system. The gas gathering and accounting management and support.
processing product tracks ownership of the
raw wet gas stream from the natural gas
wellhead to a processing plant.
The system assesses gathering and
compression fees for the movement of the
raw wet gas stream to the processing plant
and creates invoices from the accounting
transactions created, payable to the gatherer
by the wellhead producers. The accounting
transactions created at the processing plant
are used to pay producers for their share of
the gas products that fall out of the wet gas
stream at the processing plant, leaving only
the dry gas to enter pipelines.
The transportation product, used by pipelines
to track the movement of the dry gas, also
keeps up with the title transfer of the dry gas
molecules from one party to another, as well
as assesses transportation and compression
fees for the movement of the dry gas. The
product also creates invoices from the
accounting transactions that are created by
the movement of the dry gas — payable to the
pipeline by the shippers.

TransactionManager™
From Nomination to Invoice -
Merchant Pipelines
Communication and management program
that enables merchant gas pipeline operators
to effectively communicate and share both
commercial and operational information with all
direct clients and third parties involved in the gas
business cycle, including producers, processors,
interconnected pipelines, and end users.
Merchant gas pipeline operators use
TransactionManager to manage their own
gas equality or their third-party purchase and
sales supply, from the wellhead to the burner
tip. Merchant gas pipeline schedulers can gain
confidence during the scheduling process by
integrating TransactionManager with online
hydraulic models, hence bridging the gap
between the commercial and operational world
in merchant markets.
TransactionManager provides a simplified
data setup for rapid implementation while
comprehensive web-enabled functionality makes
information widely available for both internal and
external users.

TransactionManager allows merchant gas

pipeline operators of all sizes to manage
and maintain their purchase and sale
transactions, regardless of complexity.
