ABOUT ENERACT ENERGY SERVICES, INC.: EnerACT delivers integrated software tools and related subject matter expertise to the oil and gas pipeline industry to improve operations and safety performance. The primary vehicle is the POEMS® (Pipeline Operations Excellence Management System) software platform, a complete solution for operators to confidently operate a high-performance pipeline using the latest technology to achieve business objectives while doing no harm.
ABOUT POEMS® CERTIFIED TOOLS: EnerACT developed a suite of robust software tools to support each critical area of pipeline operations. POEMS Certified software tools have passed a rigorous development process to meet the evolving needs of operators to support pipeline safety management, regulatory and compliance requirements, control room operations, and field operations.
ABOUT NATURAL COMPLIANCE: Natural Compliance occurs when the systems used in pipeline operations to perform the work follow an operator’s procedures and naturally create records. Operators are required to be in compliance with a variety of detailed regulations. Regulatory compliance is best achieved when it is the natural result of performing the work. Procedures document what an operator says they will do, and records provide evidence that tasks were performed in compliance with procedures.
