Pipelines fail big every minute you don't read this article

Fear of leaking pipelines keeping you awake at night? There's a name for that: Pipeline atychiphobia.

Without AppIntel, you must battle the regulator on your own. With AppIntel you can tap into the collective wisdom of all the operators that have ever submitted an application. AppIntel helps you gracefully recover from a pipeline leak or any other kind of noncompliance. Just type  pipeline failure  into the KiP box.

One operator discovered a pipeline leak. But he recovered gracefully -- repaired it and changed it into a less strenuous service. You can see all his efforts, his evaluations, his plans and his approvals. All contained in his application documents.

You can get his applications documents from our self serve portal.

Seed your ideas with others successes (and failures)

For example: How many diet books have you seen on store shelves in the last 6 months. Is weight loss a new problem? Do we really need a new diet book?

I noticed a book in the doctor's office a few weeks ago. From the cover condition, I could tell it was the most read book in the office. It didn't look like a classic book, but its title was catchy:  The sure fire way to lose weight. 

Every single page had only two words: Eat less.

Readers scour self help books looking for an idea to help them with a problem.

This is exactly how people use AppIntel. If you read others' applications, you'll find ideas on getting your own approval.

Our information partner, Proven Reserves, reads several related historic applications before they ever write a new application. You can try it too.

Maybe you can change rules

You may be able to show how your system already meets the regulations. Perhaps you can just take a hard look at your system and find ways that it already meets the regulations. Maybe you just need some additional testing. Could be that you only need some engineering calculations.

Sometimes all you need to do to get back into compliance is to get the rules changed for your case. It's kind of like applying to have the speed limit changed to fix a ticket.

Perhaps you just need an application to get permission -- you might not even need to change what you're doing.

There are many ways to get the approval you need. Knowing how other operator's justified a change in approval is an important step. It will help you make your own approval plan.

AppIntel's google-like search is the way to find similar applications quickly. And from AppIntel, you can get historic applications within moments, not weeks.
