How to create outlook signature

all right so switching gears and what's next with pipeline my favorite subject yes you know day me talked this morning about digital transformation you all hear the term many of you're going through it in different fashions well when I think about pipeline operators and digital transformation one thing is they need access to more data need high fidelity data many of you are looking at or maybe have implemented a PR the arcgis pipeline referencing as well you might be exploring the utility network and then again you need access to a different additional information across your organization and so here to show us how i can pull that together from ESRI Jeff Allen Jeff thanks now so one of my professional goals in life is to convince Dale hunter that pipeline is cool so that's what I'm going to try to do this morning we'll see how we work out but so estelle mentioned you know one of the real needs behind the digital transformation is this real need to get all the data into the GIS to have it available to all these workflows so all the things you're seeing on stage this morning really start with putting that data into the enterprise geo database make it available to the organization and that's a real challenge that we've had in the past I mean how many have sat in a room and a meeting and say hey this is a cool idea let's do this but then turn around and only find out that we only have half the data to perform that operation right so one of the things that we've been working on is Riyaz how to take all this pipeline information and put it into the geo database and tie it all together and one of the biggest challenges we have of that with that is that there's so many different places in that supply chain and they all have different needs for modeling that pipeline data right whether we're working in offshore and gathering on the main transmission lines using linear referencing or inside those stations the needs and the data requirements and how we model and manage that data it could be completely different across the organization so what we really been working on is how to bring this data together oftentimes we find that the data exists but it might exist in different places within the organization it might be locked away in CAD file so I'm walked away in a building information system a BIM file somewhere but really need to bring that data in and that's what I'm going to show you a little bit of that today today with our integration with Autodesk but then finally we have two tools and Dowell mentioned them in a stack that are really kind of focused on this pipeline data management so managing from the from the wellhead all the way to the meter point and everything in between that's pipeline referencing and the new utility network and putting all that data into a common geo database so let's take a look at the demo and see what how this all works together so for most of us that have worked in the pipeline industry pretty common map you see some gathering lines here transmission line with some philony facilities along the way and some offshore pipelines and as we look at this a little closer let's dive into one of these locations along the pipeline we could see a typical station that we might have modeled in the pipeline GIS maybe this is a point feature or a polygon feature it maybe has the mainline pipe coming into this station you could see a launcher receiver assembly the mainline valves and in this case is a transmission pipeline so we've got the calibration of points along those lines and we set up all this data and manage manage it using the new location referencing tools but if we take a look behind the scenes you can see there's a lot more going on inside the fence here right so if we were to integrate this with a sort of work order operations and the field crews showed up at this location there's all kinds of other stuff going on here you can see building some above-ground piping so how do we take that data and pull it into the enterprise GIS well like I mentioned oftentimes this data sits somewhere else in the organization and in this case maybe it's an autocad civil3d drawing so this is a drawing of this station you can see all the station piping laid out maybe I've got some dimensioning arrows and in this case this is a full 3d model so all these pipes have elevation associated with them as well so what I'm going to do now back in pro is I'm actually going to use a couple of calibration points in this case I found some common points here at the at the fence line and there go ahead in our geo reference and bring that CAD drawing right into the into the GIS so I'm going to directly read that civil3d drawing bring it into the background on my map and visualize all those reference points together so now I have a pretty good understanding of what's going in this station but if you use linear referencing tools you realize that this is gonna be really hard to create all these routes and all these calibration points so that's why we're gonna switch over and start using the new utility network to model this station so what I've done is I've used these CAD lines as a basis to build out the rest of the model so I've digitized those structures I built in the pipeline's themselves both the above ground and below ground features and then added things like my pipeline devices those would be the valves and the pumps as well as all the junctions right these would be the t's and the elbows and all the fittings that bring this together so now I have a full three-dimensional model all connected built out within my GIS but you can also see we've got some data missing you can see these buildings here really probably have more piping inside of those so one of the things we have access to as part of the utility network is a concept called containment and what I can do with containers I can build GIS with energy I ask so here I'm going to enter this container and take a look at some more data so when I hit click on that container it'll drive me into that location open up that container and then show more details of what I've got going on inside this station as I can zoom in I can see more features here now one of the other concepts you can see is that I don't have these pipelines all spiritually connected I've got two flanges here in a valve but one of the things I can do in the utility network is actually see that connectivity so I have a rule in my rule base that says hey I can connect these point features together and have a full flow model through this station so to kind of really show how all this comes together in a workflow what I'm going to do is I'm going to run a trace on this station so I'm going to identify a starting point here on my transmission line and I'm also going to add a couple of barriers so I'm going to add a barrier just short of this customer station here and also one here coming out of my facility and then I'm going to run a connected trace against this facility so I'm going to include those containers because I want to see everything in the side of it and I'm also going to run a function along the way in this case what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna find the minimum design pressure and the maximum design pressure of this facility so I'll go ahead and run that trace that'll look through all that connected model look at all those design pressures for me and bring back those results and if I scroll down here to the bottom of the results pane you'll see that minimum maop and maximum maop for this station so you can configure this in larger model so I might want to send this information down to another another process but you can think of this as a very powerful tool if we were doing capacity planning on this whole pipeline segment to see where our limits are as far as capacity goes so now I can take that data now that it's all connected together and visualize it in different ways so you can see this is free complicated site I've got pipes that cross over each other I've got a couple buildings that they go inside of as an Operations person I might want to take a different look and a more cleaner picture of what's going on here so I've taken these same layers from the facility utility network and put them into the new diagram tool so once I run them through the diagram tool I have a lot of different options and here's a pretty simple flow diagram of what this station looks like so now you can easily see that launcher reciever assembly you can see the buildings and what's contained what's inside of them and how everything is connected together now these are live link so if I go here to the network diagram tab I select one of these valves and then I apply that selection back to the NAP map you can see everything's tied together now I could take these diagrams I could take these maps and I could publish into my portal to make those available to the to the folks within the organization now the other thing I could do is using that same dataset is drop that same data set into a 3d view so now I have a 3d view that fairly clearly shows me what's going on within this facility now it looks like I've got some missing pipe here that's really not the case what's really going on as those pipes are underground so I could see how the above-ground piping and below-ground piping interact and I could also see that if I just turn the imagery off I could see those features directly from the utility network displayed in the map it's not only got that full connected model I can zoom around take a look at things too a Revere's few reverse view here I could see that launched a receiver assembly and all the elbows and tees that come out of it but you can remember what back when I was inside of that facility I was showing you that Valve of those two flanges so where did that data come from so again back to our integration with Autodesk I was able actually to add that data directly from the building information file the BIM file from a Revit file that that I brought in from an outside source so here I'm going to correct directly connect to the Revit file I could see all the different layers I have inside I'm interested in piping and I go ahead and add that to my scene so now with inside the the the pro viewer I can see that Revit file together with my utility network data I can zoom around and you can see exactly where I got that information for my utility network coming in from the ass built for the Revit file so there's my valve from the Revit file with all its attributes overlaid directly with the two flanges on the outside of the valve and that valve event inside the inside the station so pretty quickly being able to use the utility network in conjunction with our chest pipeline referencing mail have build out a full station view with all its attributes and a connected model that I can use all those down downstream workflows in the digital environment pretty cool yeah I told you down all right thanks Jeff appreciate it [Applause] you
