MAOP Basics
• Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure
(MAOP) means the maximum pressure at
which a pipeline or segment of a pipeline
may be operated under Part 192.

MAOP Value: 192.619
• Lowest of the following:
(a)(1) Design
(a)(2) Test Pressure / Factor
(a)(3) Max. Operating Pressure for 5 years
preceding regulation (this varies depending upon what type of pipeline, see next slide)
(a)(4) Maximum Safe Pressure determined by
the Operator

NTSB Safety Recommendations
• To PHMSA - Notify operators of circumstances and
consequences of San Bruno for corrective actions
• To CPUC - Oversee PG&E records search for
transmission pipelines w/o hydro-tests
• To PG&E - “Aggressively and diligently search” all
records of Transmission PLs w/o hydro-tests. Establish
MAOP based on weak link. If inadequate records,
establish MAOP with spike test followed by hydro-test or
down-rate MAOP.
• Six Technical Reports & thousands of pages of info
![Page 23: MAOP San Bruno Aftermath - Western Regional Gas Issues 2011.pdf · MAOP San Bruno Aftermath August 23, 2011 Chris Foley ... Advisory Bulletin 11-01 ... locations and class 1 & 2 HCAs](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030504/5ab12be97f8b9abc2f8c537b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Advisory Bulletin 11-01MAOP / MOP
• Must have reliable records for entire system
– “Traceable, verifiable, and complete”
– Hydro-test Records - Acceptable if complete
– Design and Material Records – Acceptable if
complete for life of the pipeline
– Five Year Highest Pressure - Not allowed; Advisory
disregarded existing code provisions for MAOP
• Pipelines =>30% SMYS
– “aggressive” program to get missing data
– maybe interim pressure reduction of 20%
![Page 24: MAOP San Bruno Aftermath - Western Regional Gas Issues 2011.pdf · MAOP San Bruno Aftermath August 23, 2011 Chris Foley ... Advisory Bulletin 11-01 ... locations and class 1 & 2 HCAs](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030504/5ab12be97f8b9abc2f8c537b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Traceable, Verifiable & CompleteINGAA’s View
• Traceable – the origin of the record can be
determined.
• Verifiable – the record can be confirmed by
supporting documentation or credible
statements that have been recorded.
• Complete – the record was complete
according to the requirements in place at the
time the data was created.

California PUC Decision
• Natural Gas Transmission
– California intrastate (CPUC jurisdiction)
– Class 3 & 4 areas and Class 1 & 2 HCA’s without
MAOP’s established via hydrotest
• MAOP Records Search
– Aggressively and diligently search for all as-built
drawings, alignment sheets, and specifications, and
all design, construction, inspection, testing,
maintenance, and other related records … relating to
pipeline system components, such as pipe segments,
valves, fittings, and weld seams. These records
should be traceable, verifiable and complete.

California PUC Decision
• CA gas transmission operators must file a
proposed Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline
Comprehensive Pressure Testing Implementation
Plan by August 26, 2011
– Identify pipelines to be replaced or hydrotested
– Include interim safety measures to be taken on these
segments until replacement or testing occurs (leak
surveys, pressure reductions, etc)
• Bottom line: No more grandfather clause
![Page 27: MAOP San Bruno Aftermath - Western Regional Gas Issues 2011.pdf · MAOP San Bruno Aftermath August 23, 2011 Chris Foley ...

PHMSA Reauthorization
Senate & House bills have similar MAOP language
– Establishment of Records: Not later than 6 months after the date of
enactment, the Secretary shall require pipeline operators to conduct a
verification of records for all gas transmission lines in class 3 & 4
locations and class 1 & 2 HCAs that accurately reflect the pipeline's
physical and operational characteristics and confirm the maximum
allowable operating pressure of those pipelines.
– Reporting: Not later than 18 months after enactment, operators shall
submit to the Secretary documentation of all gas transmission
pipelines in class 3 & 4 locations and class 1 & 2 HCAs where the
records are not sufficient to establish MAOP.
![Page 28: MAOP San Bruno Aftermath - Western Regional Gas Issues 2011.pdf · MAOP San Bruno Aftermath August 23, 2011 Chris Foley ... Advisory Bulletin 11-01 ... locations and class 1 & 2 HCAs](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030504/5ab12be97f8b9abc2f8c537b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Industry Efforts
• AGA White Paper: Verification of MAOP’s on existing steel gas
transmission pipelines
– Outlined numerous “acceptable” MAOP record types
• INGAA fitness for service protocol for pre-70’s pipelines (NOTE: THIS IS CURRENTLY JUST IN DRAFT PHASE)
– Develop and apply guidance, including a process for systematically
validating records and the MAOP, for pipelines within HCAs.
– Process will address NTSB recommendations to demonstrate traceable,
verifiable and complete records with examples of the types of records.
– Where records do not meet this standard, a process will include a
pressure testing protocol to be applied within seven years, contingent
upon the ability of an operator to meet customer delivery requirements.
– INGAA will reinforce the need to consider fatigue in pre-regulation pipe.

• Timing
– Expected to happen this year…
– PHMSA will probably have 6 – 12 months to
develop NPRM, process comments, issue
final rule
– Compliance phase-in period (1 – 3 years)?
• Reporting
– Annual report changes?
– Safety related reporting changes?
