Beyond Compliance: the digitisation opportunities of Mega Rule

Mega Rule – a challenge or an opportunity? That’s the question posed by Penspen THEIA’s managing director Louise O’Sullivan in the latest issue of World Pipelines.

In this special North America-focused issue, Louise discusses how platforms like THEIA can support pipeline operators to see the upcoming 2035 deadline as the start of a new era, rather than a deadline to comply with a piece of regulation. 

Read the full article on page 15 and gain valuable insights into the myriad opportunities Mega Rule presents to asset operators in the US and further afield to transform the management and analysis of large data sets, saving integrity engineers hundreds of hours of tedious admin tasks every single month, enabling reduced downtime on operator networks, compliance with regulation and, most critically, improve the safety and reliability of pipelines in the region.
