Summary:
The objective of this project was to develop industry guidelines for data-collection requirements that are important for risk assessment in natural gas transmission and distribution systems. The data-collection guidelines are based on an analysis of the factors that fundamentally influence risk and are important for natural gas distribution and transmission. Data-collection requirements were developed to assist the industry in determining the data that needs to be collected for regulatory compliance, integrity-management programs, and risk management. The analysis includes the data required during manufacturing, engineering and design, installation and construction, integrity management, and operations and maintenance.
