Filed:

Aug 8, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/188255

Inventors:

Ryan Sitton - Pearland TX, US

Assignee:

PINNACLEAIS, LLC - Pearland TX

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 8

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software for reliability, hazard, and integrity optimization are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the software includes an input module, a failure model module, a simulation module, and an optimization module. The input module accepts a list of assets to be managed and determines design data and process data for each asset. The failure model module determines probability of failure curve parameters for each asset degradation mode. The simulation module simulates an asset management plan to determine a total management cost that includes costs for predicted failures as well as risk-weighted costs for each degradation mode of each asset generates alternative management plans for evaluation by the simulation module and provides a selected management plan for display to a user. In each embodiment, the total management costs may account not only for direct costs, but also for safety costs, environmental costs, and business costs.

Abstract:

In a disclosed method for creating a pipe circuit, a diagram is displayed on a display screen. The diagram includes representations of multiple pipes to be included in the pipe circuit, and a line number corresponding to each of the pipes. Selection input indicative of each of the pipes is received in sequence, and the pipe circuit is assigned a pipe circuit number. A described computer system includes a display screen, a memory, and one or more processors. The memory contains instructions for: displaying the diagram on the display screen, parsing the line numbers to capture engineering data for the pipe circuit, changing a display color of each of the representations of the pipes to a selected color, and exporting information about each of the pipes in the pipe circuit to a database. The processor(s) fetch the instructions from the memory and execute the instructions.
