Sustaining the Trans-Alaska Pipeline – A Systems Engineering

Perspective

Speaker: Claudia Rose, President BBII an Enterprise and Systems

Engineering, Company

Please join us for lunch and a special presentation examining the

application of Systems Engineering (SE) principals to the current and

future sustainment capability of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. End-of-

life issues and transition to alternative uses of the Pipeline are addressed.

The SE approach considers the Pipeline system within a larger context,

taking into account the crude-oil pipeline, pump stations, feeder

pipelines, maintenance systems, and the environment. The architecture

of the Pipeline system and its subsystem components and their

relationships and dependencies is examined with the objective of

facilitating understanding of the problems and solutions.

This study and presentation addresses three components:

1) Analysis of technologies needed to meet the lower flow requirements

to maintain Pipeline efficient operation.

2) Development of a reference model and process for guiding the

selection of cost effective technologies.

3) Development of a transition roadmap for alternative uses and re-uses

of the Pipeline to address end-of-life decommissioning.
