Understand your pipeline risk picture at a glance

Synergi Pipeline's smarter risk management approach makes risk assessment more meaningful, defensible, and more acceptable to regulators. Offering a clear ‘risk picture’ of the asset and its components, from a system-wide view to localized details, Synergi Pipeline optimizes resource allocation, ensures compliance, and enhances public safety.

  • Open and comprehensive risk and analytical models to identify and understand threats across assets and project lifecycles
  • A holistic risk platform that facilitates timely and appropriate maintenance plans
  • Easy to use drill-down visuals with detailed reporting to drive risk-informed decision-making
  • What-if assessments tools compare risks and proposed mitigation and data change scenarios, allowing you to choose an optimal risk management plan where it matters most

From data to risk intelligence  

Synergi Pipeline merges DNV’s extensive risk management experience with transparent, data-driven risk modelling that produces quantitative risk results. It provides risk engineers with actionable risk intelligence, empowering them to efficiently extract critical knowledge regarding risk drivers and trends useful for decision-making. 

  • Measures the probability of failure (PoF) and potential consequences for all isolated and interacting failure mechanisms
  • Provides the ability to measure risk in dollars, allowing for direct use in cost-benefit analysis
  • Aids in quick and easy identification of the current risk drivers across the system, leading to targeted preventative and mitigative measure selection
  • Comprehensive consequence analysis, which can include health & safety, property, environmental impact, business interruptions, and repair costs to aid in the understanding of the complete impact of a pipeline release

Managing uncertainty with Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA)  

Probabilistic Risk Assessment is the ideal tool for use in situations where incomplete data sets are common. DNV's methodology considers the uncertainty associated with using these estimated data sources, enabling the operator to quantify the source's effect on the overall risk picture.  

  • Conditional defaults support comparing results between the most likely and worst plausible conditions 
  • Utilizes a combination of operator subject matter expertise and industry data sources
  • Understand quantified impacts of high and low uncertainty on threats, consequences, and risk
  • Facilitates sensitivity analysis to guide focused data collection where it has the greatest impact
Answer

Answer

  • Takes a comprehensive approach to risk assessment combining both historic leaks as well as predicted failure modes
  • Allows distribution engineers to evaluate and compare risks across assets such as mains, pressure regulator stations, underground storage, meter sets, services, etc.
  • Risk results support capital planning programs such as mains replacement programs
  • Fully supports regulatory requirements
Answer

Answer

  • Supports repair and replace decisions, based on robust what-if functionality
  • Helps operators understand what is causing the risks across the pipeline to effectively drive P&M measures
  • Provides the ability to easily add additional threats and data sources as required
  • Robust documentation for audit trails
  • Fully supports regulatory requirements

Risk analytics supporting multiple assets

Scale at your pace

With Synergi Pipeline, you have the flexibility to choose an appropriate risk model and strategy that evolves with your needs. You can start small with the more focussed Transitional PRA models, leveraging data sources that are most easily integrated, or opt for comprehensive full PRA implementation. Talk to a DNV representative to understand which model is right for you.

You can also choose to implement Synergi Pipeline, either as a cloud-based SaaS solution hosted by DNV or as an On-premises installation on your infrastructure. For more details on the implementation modes, click here.

The choice of utilities worldwide:

Synergi Pipeline is preferred by operators across the globe for Risk Management because it: 

  1. Delivers a long-term decision-support tool for managing integrity efforts, including the ability to measure risk in dollars for use in capital planning
  2. Quantifies risk assessment uncertainty, providing a measure of 'completeness'
  3. Offers visualization of changing risks along the pipeline route while demonstrating aggregate trends across the entire asset
  4. Builds ultimate trust in the risk results through transparency while promoting regulatory compliance
  5. Enables the integration of asset risks directly into the broader enterprise risk
