bp are migrating their system of record for Pipelines from PODS 5.2.3 bp Golden Build to PODS 7x bp Golden Build with APR. The session will take the audience through the thought process behind why upgrade in the first place, the advantages of PODS 7 with APR over older PODS data models, the broad stages of the implementation and unknowns that presented themselves during the project. This project has added complexity due to the diverse geographic extent; coordinate systems and units of data being migrated across numerous regional SDEs.
In this presentation we will explain the strategy followed to execute a Proof of Concept project at GRTgaz, the main gas carrier in France. GRTgaz is looking for the best strategy to simplify its GIS landscape, and to support network modifications when migrating towards renewable gas as part of the energy transition. GRTgaz asked Esri France and Tensing to help them with this challenge. Together, we ran a project to explore the capabilities of the combination of both the Utility Network and ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing to replace the current custom developed GIS setup at GRTgaz. During our presentation we will highlight the results of the project and present lessons learned and proposed next steps.
