MIDSTREAM CANADA CONTINUED 40 Standard pipeline data available through the ERCB Spatially corrected data through the IHS Enhanced Pipeline dataset Clearer facility pictures are available through the spatially corrected data seen through the IHS Enhanced Pipeline dataset. GDM ENHANCED PIPELINE Effective management and planning of midstream assets begin with the industry’s most accurate, reliable and complete Pipeline database built by GDM. Whether you are planning well and facility tie-ins, surface access, capacity, environmental impacts or ever increasing integrity requirements, the GDM Pipeline and Facilities Database is the information backbone that supports the delivery of oil and gas product to market. Comprehensive and spatially accurate, GDM data is available in E&P operating areas in Canada encompassing British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, south west Manitoba, Yukon, NWT, North Dakota, Montana and the east coast offshore, and is ideally suited to activities such as: »» Evaluating and locating pipeline and facility assets »» Implementing integrity and risk management systems »» Evaluating deliverability, utilization and spare capacity »» Environmental impact and monitoring »» Regulatory submission »» Increasing field safety »» Generating maps and building GIS projects GDM has greatly enhanced the data available from regulatory sources through proprietary processes and integration of external data sources. Most significantly, this includes geo-correcting the pipeline network based on surveyed right-of-way information. Since source data is based on proposed locations, old mapping infrastructure or unavailable information, GDM has eliminated the large spatial errors, correcting common typical accuracy of 100-200 metres that exist in other vendors’ data. GDM is the only company to have geo-corrected the pipeline network, increasing the accuracy of the data. Regulatory source data is also provided as a reference to the regulatory record.
