Why are Pipeline Compliance Management Programs Needed?
Limited In-House Resources
Small, accidental, and medium sized pipeline and facility operators often face unique challenges that require unique solutions. Resources are often limited and, in many cases, regulatory compliance expertise within the company is not readily available, which is challenging given the ever-changing regulatory requirements.
Small and medium-sized pipeline and facility operators frequently encounter distinctive challenges that demand innovative solutions. These operators often grapple with limited resources, and in numerous instances, they lack in-house regulatory compliance expertise—an issue compounded by the constantly evolving regulatory landscape.
Complexity of Evolving Regulations
Regulations such as those in the Pipes Act of 2020 and the PHMSA Gas Gathering rule can be overwhelming to even the most tenured operators. In some cases, smaller operators face many uncertainties regarding how to sustain and manage their pipelines and determine how their assets are regulated by federal, state, and local agencies securely and efficiently.
