Join us as we unpack the results of our recent supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system survey and learn which steps oil and gas pipeline operators are taking to protect their systems and critical data long term. This Emerson-sponsored survey addresses a range of topics, including cybersecurity, systems integration, user experience, situational awareness, and data warehousing.

There is significant upside to implementing an integrated SCADA platform, but this integration may extend beyond what you are familiar with today. We will discuss how to securely drive optimization enterprise wide by cohesively managing data in a single SCADA platform, from operations to commercial requirements.

This webinar is highly recommended to anyone who plays a role in, or is responsible for, specifying a SCADA platform. You will get expert insight on the most important considerations to keep in mind along with advice on how integrate advanced applications to maximize your return on investment.

Address the new requirements from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Transportation Security Administration TSA) with simple scalable technologies. Join the Oil and Gas teams from Xage Security and Stratus Technology to discuss approaches to security posture for Pipeline Operators.

Highly available and scalable cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure are part of the Xage Security Fabric in ztC Edge and ftServer, protecting operational data from controller to enterprise without disrupting operations.

Key insights include:

•    DHS/TSA/CISA guidelines
•    Hardening of IT/OT systems from ransomware and cyber attack
•    Strategy for meeting reporting requirements

The operational and business success of industrial facilities requires systems that increase safety, reliability and efficiency, plus demonstrate the flexibility to adapt to market innovations and pressures. Technology available today is providing a timely response to industry needs, including the desire for preparedness and resilience. Industrial autonomy is the thoroughfare to this next level of performance, and for industrial operators this means knowing which technology to focus on to get you there.

Get a path forward for your pipeline operations and learn how others already on the journey to industrial autonomy got started.

API Recommended Practice (RP) 1173, Pipeline Safety Management Systems, allows companies to take a principled and performance-based approach to managing complex pipeline operations. Implementing a Pipeline SMS (PSMS) using API RP 1173 improves pipeline safety performance and ultimately moves the industry closer to our shared goal of zero pipeline incidents.

The API PSMS Third-Party Assessment Program, based on API RP 1173, was created as a consistent, out-of-the-box solution to satisfy PSMS assessment requirements. It uses the industry approved tools and maturity model, coupled with real-time benchmarking. During this webinar, Colin Frazier, Senior Manager at API, will give an overview of the API Third-Party PSMS Assessment Program. Dwight Johnston, an experienced API PSMS assessor, will follow to discuss key implementation barriers seen during assessments, highlighting key sections of RP 1173 that warrant additional consideration. Questions will be taken at the end of the presentation.

As the release of the Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s (PHMSA) final rule on gas gathering lines nears, this webinar will provide pipeline operators the info they need to prepare and ensure compliance. Ideal for Operations Directors/Managers, Compliance and Regulatory Specialists, and GIS Directors/Managers, this webinar will cover what is known and unknown about the rule, what operators can do to prepare, expectations for Operations & Maintenance (O&M) manual updates and Potential Impact Radius (PIR) calculation requirements, and more. Presented by Integrity Plus by MISTRAS, join this webinar on October 7, 2021 to ensure compliance with the upcoming rule.

Oil and gas pipelines and terminals are increasingly targeted for cyber attacks. Breaches affecting operational assets can have potentially serious safety, environmental or economic impact. An effective operational technology (OT) cybersecurity strategy needs to be put in place to mitigate the threats.

Join the discussion between the Global Marketing Director for Oil and Gas and Senior Offering Manager in Cybersecurity to learn more about:

• Challenges faced by the pipelines and terminals sector
• What peers are doing to improve cyber resilience
• Strategies to consider for a cybersecurity program
• Technologies for efficient cyber operations

2021 has been a challenging year for pipelines. Heightened focus on their environmental impact and a major cyber-attack have led to changing regulations that require operator investment. However, the pressure to reduce costs and increase efficiency remains.

Join Scott Tackett and Sam Miorelli from Siemens Energy as they discuss how developments in rotating equipment and digitalization can reduce emissions and lifecycle costs and improve asset security now and in the future.

Specific topics will include:

· Advances in compressor and gas turbine technologies that optimize costs and reduce methane emissions

· State-of-the-art solutions available to protect pipeline assets against cyber-attack

· Best practices for meeting ever-changing government regulations
