Alyeska Chooses Energy Solutions International Software for Trans Alaska Pipeline

PipelineManager® software deployed for leak detection on highly regulated pipeline

Houston, TX, November 11, 2008.  Energy Solutions International, Inc., a world-leading supplier of software solutions that optimize operational and commercial performance of oil and gas pipelines, announced that its PipelineManager® modeling and leak detection application has been selected by Alyeska Pipeline Service Company to serve as the foundation for leak detection and slack flow monitoring on the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), one of the largest and most complex pipeline systems in the world.

TAPS’ complexity stems from the severe elevation changes over the 800-mile pipeline, which runs from the North Slope to Valdez and crosses three mountain ranges and more than 800 rivers and streams. PipelineManager will be deployed to confirm the integrity and accurately detect both the size and location of any leaks along TAPS, ensuring compliance with government regulations.

“Energy Solutions International is one of the few companies in the world that possesses the proven technology, domain expertise and customer service to tackle a project of this complexity,” said Dr. Jo Webber, ESI’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are delighted to be working with Alyeska to deploy our robust leak detection solution on one of the most highly regulated pipelines in the world.”

With more than 150 installations worldwide, PipelineManager provides accurate leak detection and location, batch/product/composition tracking, capacity determination, throughput optimization, fuel cost minimization, automated operational warnings and survival time, what-if analysis and operator training.
