Recent changes in Alberta pipeline regulations have created a need for provincially regulated companies to embrace broader quality management principals when considering the management of asset integrity. While larger federally regulated transmission pipeline operators have long been regulated towards this quality management approach, smaller provincially regulated operators, (including Exploration & Production companies with pipeline assets) will now be required to move their integrity management programs in a similar direction. Given the diversity in focus, resources, and business objectives of these provincially regulated energy companies, a simple, focused means to execute this transformation is required. This paper reviews the general processes and specific steps undertaken by Pembina Pipeline Corporation in making this transition towards compliance with the revised EUB pipeline regulations. While the approach and initiatives discussed in this paper relate specifically to Alberta pipeline regulations, the general principals are broadly applicable to pipeline operators seeking to develop compliance with goal-oriented regulation.
