Abstract

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a plurality of computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform operations for providing MAOP information for gas pipelines and MOP information for hazardous liquid pipelines, that is accessible continuously via a network. The processor performs operations including obtaining an identifier for a specific pipeline segment; collecting authenticated pipeline segment information related to the specific pipeline segment; collecting non-authenticated pipeline segment information related to the specific pipeline segment; performing dynamic segmentation, calculating smart segmentation for the specific pipeline segment; identifying gaps in MAOP or MOP data; filling the gaps in MAOP or MOP data; calculating MAOP or MOP value for the specific pipeline; and showing valid and invalid MAOP or MOP value to at least one user using an executive dashboard.
