EnergySolutions Upgrades and Expands Software Installation at StatoilHydro
Energy Solutions International, Inc., a leading provider of software solutions for oil and gas pipeline management, announced it is implementing PipelineManager® on gas lines and upgrading the software on liquids lines at StatoilHydro ASA of Norway. One of the world’s largest gas suppliers, StatoilHydro will use PipelineManager for comprehensive modeling, leak detection, product tracking, and simulation of its Norwegian pipelines.
“We’ve been successful using PipelineManager on our liquids lines for several years, with a good track record on customer support from EnergySolutions,” said Sigve Arthun, Procurement Advisor, StatoilHydro. “A combined heat and power (CHP) station under construction will be fed by natural gas, requiring that we upgrade the PipelineManager to also support gas lines. The decision to upgrade PipelineManager enabled us to leverage our existing technology investment and continue working with one supplier, making this a good purchase for us.”
PipelineManager is used worldwide for hydraulic modeling, inventory calculations, leak detection, product tracking, predictive simulations, DRA and scraper tracking, instrument drift and survival time calculations.
“StatoilHydro can benefit from a lower cost of ownership by deploying PipelineManager on both liquids and gas pipelines,” said Clive Seaton, EnergySolutions’ Director of Operations, EMEA/APAC. “As a single solution, it is easier to implement and provides more standard functionality. This is important for StatoilHydro, a long-standing customer, as part of their long-term pipeline management strategy.”
