| CONTEXTUALIZATION OF PIPELINE INTEGRITY RELATED TO DATA, FATHOM PIO™ (PIPELINE INTEGRITY OUTLOOK)
Failures of oil and gas pipeline systems may lead to severe consequences to social security and economic
loss due to the combustibility of natural gas, including environmental implications of crude oil pipeline failures
Pipeline integrity and maintenance plans should be applied throughout the lifecycle to ensure that the pipeline
system management is safe and cost-efficient
In light of the above, Fathom Pipeline software suite offers an intuitive and reliable way to keep pipeline
records traceable, verifiable, and well documented
Furthermore, it is a cloud-native platform empowered by AI that allows pipeline operators to do data ingestion,
analysis, and alignment of pipeline integrity data using industry 4.0 technologies
Fathom Pipeline is a multi-level process to capture the value of pipeline data and address optimal maintenance
planning for pipeline systems and credible threats

| UNIFIED DATA MANAGEMENT
Transforming all data types of pipeline operation, and integrity into Fathom pipeline data models in a unified data repository based on industry-standard enable pipeline operators to improve the quality, quantity, and timeliness of pipeline information managed. It helps pipeline users to communicate, acquire, ingest, exchange data, and unify it with other third-party applications for holistic data analysis and create new value of ML application
The unified data model is compatible with the open industry standards as well as PODS 7.0 and UPDM
It provides better business processes and workflow. Pipeline integrity users will experience reduced data transfer between software applications and multiple databases; clear, concise definitions; plus the ability to clearly delineate data ownership
