GL Noble Denton Software selected for Bunde-Etzel Pipeline project
24 August 2010 + + + The pipeline management system for the Bunde-Etzel gas pipeline (BEP) in Western Europe will be provided by GL Noble Denton, a global technical advisor to the oil and gas industry. The BEP involves the connection of a 48" pipeline from gas storage facilities which are currently under development in Etzel, Germany, to the Gas Transport Services (GTS) Entry point/Exit point at Oude Statenzijl, which is part of the gas transportation system of GTS in the Netherlands. This pipeline, covering a distance of 60 km, will become a major source of natural gas into Western Europe.
GL Noble Denton's pipeline management system will use the industry leading gas modelling software, Stoner Pipeline Simulator (SPS), to provide advanced functionality for the safe and efficient operation of the pipeline. This includes real-time leak detection and location, as well as predictive applications to support pipeline operations. The system will be integrated with IT company Telvent's supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to provide a complete control system for the pipeline that will optimise security and operations as well as help assure reliable supply.
Colin Weir, Global Head of GL Noble Denton's Software Solutions business commented: "SPS is recognised as a worldwide leader in it's field and has been deployed on many pipelines throughout the world over the last 30 years. To be involved in supporting this important project, which will ultimately improve the security of gas supply in mainland Europe, is something we are proud of."
