AER closing more & more pipeline applications

AppIntel can help you get yours approved

More and more pipeline applications are being refused by the AER. Since 2015 is the biggest year ever for pipeline applications, the number of closures has risen significantly. We found this using AppIntel.

To illustrate, we can look at Level 2 pipeline applications, type D452. In 2005, applications refused were about 7%. This year, the regulator has closed about 17%. Some months, up to 40% of these applications were closed. D452 applications are for Level 2 small, sour pipelines not close to urban centers.

Picky Regulator adjudicating

Is industry doing a poorer job of applying? Or is the regulator getting more picky? The best way to ensure your application gets approved is to review others' closed applications. Find out what the regulator didn't like. AppIntel can help.

When searching through AppIntel, one mechanical engineer said, "You can see everything -- from plot plans to metering details."

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the processing and transport of oil and gas fields. Applications contain more technical data even than ASME papers.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about offloading terminals, upgrading, water processing and waste management? AppIntel can help.
