Energy Solutions International Releases Version 5.2 of PipelineOptimizer Liquids Pipeline Optimization Software; Hosts Product Forum at PSIG Conference

May 13 Forum Demonstrates Efficiencies that Lead to Pipeline Operations Cost Savings

Houston, Texas (May 12, 2009) – Energy Solutions International, Inc. (ESI), a world-leading supplier of software solutions that optimize operational and commercial performance of oil and gas pipelines, introduces at the 40th Annual PSIG Conference the latest version of PipelineOptimizer® software for optimizing the financial performance of liquids pipeline assets. Version 5.2 features completely updated and validated functionality to assist pipeline operators in more efficiently operating pipelines for greater savings.

In addition to introducing Version 5.2 at PSIG, held May 12-15 at the Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston, Texas, ESI will host a PipelineOptimizer Forum for customers and prospects on May 13. The Forum will be held in the Moody Gardens Hotel from 6-7 p.m. Attendees will preview PipelineOptimizer 5.2 and participate in discussions with pipeline companies currently using the application. Reserve your seat at this complimentary forum, or request product information, by contacting support@energy-solutions.com.

With roots dating back to the late 1980s and significant updates in 1998 and again in 2006, PipelineOptimizer is an established solution that responds to marginal user input and feeds the operator with easily interpreted operational and cost information. This lets the operator apply efficiencies throughout the pipeline, including DRA and power consumption reductions.

Version 5.2 highlights include:

• Set of predefined models to efficiently create new models
• Improved reporting and graphing capability, including:
  • power contract cost
  • on-peak and off-peak power cost summations
  • DRA usage
  • bottleneck analysis
• Improved configuration and case validations and overall application error checking
• Additional schematic elements for pumps, heater – coolers, throttle valves, terminals and tanks
