  3. Meeting Agenda 2:00 - 2:30 - Ron Brush • Introduction to PODS Association 2:30 - 3:00 - Tracy Thorleifson • Technical Discussion of PODS 3:00 - 3:30 • Future Directions

  4. PODS Purpose To develop and promote standards for the exchange and storage of data in the pipeline industry. The PODS data model is particularly related to geo-spatial information for pipelines.

  5. What is PODS Today? • Enterprise pipeline data model • Facilities, Compliance, Inspections and more • 300+ tables • The PODS Association Group of pipelines and vendors who help define and implement useful pipeline data standards

  6. Three Viewpoints • A design approach • An example for pipeline companies to use • A data model that can be implemented

  7. The PODS Association • Incorporated August 2000 • Seeking new members • Membership: $1000 per company per year • Supported by ESRI, GTI • www.pods.org

  8. Williams Gas Pipelines ESRI Dynamic Risk Assessment Eagle Information Mapping GeoFields New Century Software Bass-Trigon Software Stoner Associates Kinder Morgan Reliant Energy TransCanada Pipelines Coral Energy Conoco Chevron Dynegy PPDM plus Others PODS Contributors

  9. Brief History • Initiated in 1998 by GRI • Volunteer membership to date • Core group of members contributing their knowledge • Developed the PODS data model based on earlier Williams work • Incorporated parts of ISAT

  10. Brief History • One goal was to establish an industry association to further support and develop the work • Incorporated August 2000 • Profit -- Not-for-profit • Membership letter sent out in January • To date -- 3 members, plus more to come

  11. General Structure • Board of Directors • Officers • Workgroups • Technical • Implementation • Direction Committee • Public Relations - Marketing

  12. Keith Leewis - GTI (formerly GRI) Tim McCallum - Advanced Data Design Kenneth Greer - Reliant Energy J.B. Padgett - Eagle Information Mapping Ron Brush - New Century Software Board of Directors

  13. Officers Ron Brush - Interim President Kenneth Greer - Secretary Tim McCallum - Treasurer

  14. Benefits of Joining • Input into model development • Input on organizational structure • Networking/communications • Acquiring best practices • Forum for resolution and implementation issues

  15. Benefits of Using PODS • Comprehensive data model • Less risk in implementing GIS • The more companies that use it, the easier it will be to integrate applications • Applying best practices - evolving • Association directed and driven

  16. More Information • www.pods.org • Literature available • Membership Letter • Bylaws • Executive Summary • Hardcopy printout of data model • Ask

  17. Perspectives on PODS...

  18. ISAT 1.0 - Areas to Enhance • No support for multiple sources of coordinate data • No direct support 3D centerlines • No support for multiple versions of pipeline centerlines • Limited support for historical tracking • Limited support for modeling branching pipeline systems (gathering / distribution systems) • No support for “network” topology (required for flow modeling) • Limited support for inspection data

  19. Line Route Series Station Point Event PODS – Core Tables

  20. Line Route Series Coordinate Source Station Point Coordinates Location Event Centerline Geometry PODS – Coordinate Tables

  21. Line Hierarchy Route Connection Series Station Point Event PODS – Line Hierarchy Tables

  22. Line Route Series Network Station Point Junction Event Segment PODS – Network Tables

  23. Line Route Series Station Point Inline Inspection Event Physical Inspection Event Group CP Inspection Work Order PODS – Inspection Tables

  24. Future Directions

  25. Short-Term Goals • Membership Promotion • Election of Officers • Publish a PODS CD • PODS DDL • Domain (lookup) table values • Example applications • Documentation • Sample Database

  26. Other Goals • More pipelines implementing PODS • More vendors writing PODS applications • Approve inspection pigging submodel

  27. Planned Enhancements • Improve Inspections and Maintenance Submodel • Compressor Station - Emissions • Better Documentation • Published Domain Tables

  28. Future Directions • Extensions or new models for: • Gathering • Distribution • Liquids

  29. Future Directions • Integration with ArcSDE • Geo-database Networking • Versioning • Connectivity - Trace Network

  30. Future Enhancements • Example GPS Data Dictionaries • Easier to load data into PODS • Improved domain tables • XML Schemas

  31. Applications • Data Loading Tools • Data Maintenance Tools • Sheet Generators • Analysis Tools • Construction Integration • Inspection and Maintenance • Compliance Assistance Tools

  32. Applications • Bridges to Third-Party Applications • Risk Assessment • Flow Modeling • SCADA • Land Records • Cathodic Protection

  33. More Information • www.pods.org • Literature available • Membership Letter • Bylaws • Executive Summary • Hardcopy printout of data model • Ask
