The risk of pipeline rupture always exists, even for operators with the safest operating and maintenance standards.
PHMSA rule RIN 2137-AF06 will propose installation of automatic shutoff valves, remote controlled valves, or equivalent technology and establish performance-based meaningful metrics for rupture detection for gas and liquid transmission pipelines.
Pipelines companies would benefit from policies to manage the integrity, availability, usability of data and could use it to meet the PHMSA requirements and to improve the efficiency of their operations.
