Know What Applies to Every Mile.Prove It Is Handled.

Parts 190 to 199 run to thousands of requirements, and which ones bind you depends on what you carry, where and at what pressure. X3 Pipeline Compliance turns your systems into one register of the obligations that apply, each with its citation, its owner, its interval and its proof.

The Exposure

The Violation Is Rarely a Rule Nobody Read. It Is the Review Nobody Did on Time.

Most notices of probable violation are not about exotic rules. They are about the manual that missed its yearly review, the survey that ran a month past its 15-month limit and the procedure nobody followed in the field. The rule was known. The owner, the date and the proof were not.

A binder says the program exists. An inspector asks when it was last reviewed, and by whom.

X3 Intelligence

Your Systems In. Your Obligations Out.

Describe each system once: what it carries, where it runs, its class locations and whether it crosses a high consequence area. X3 lines those facts up against Parts 190 to 199 and gives you one row per obligation.

Applicability

Gas transmission, distribution, gathering, hazardous liquid, CO2 or LNG, matched to the Parts and Subparts that apply, with the reason written down.

Obligations

Each requirement as a row: the citation, the system, the accountable owner, the interval and the proof.

PHMSA intervals

"Each calendar year, not exceeding 15 months" computed both ways, so the earlier limit sets the due date.

Procedures & MOC

The manuals behind the work, their review clock and every change taken through management of change.

Regulatory watch

Rules in motion at PHMSA and in your states, with what each would change for you.

Special permits

The conditions you agreed to in a permit or waiver, tracked like any other obligation.

Stop reading the whole Code. Start with the rows that are yours.

Obligation register

One Register. Every Obligation Owned.

An example of what the register looks like once an operator has set up its systems: what is current, what is coming due and what still needs an owner.

  • Distribution integrity management plan: periodic review has no owner (49 CFR 192.1007(f))
  • Annual report for gas distribution: due March 15 (49 CFR 191.11)

Example only. Your register is built from your own systems. Your qualified people decide what applies. Not legal advice.

From the Code to owned work

Profile. Match. Own. Schedule. Prove.

X3 walks each obligation from the regulation to a named person with a date, in the order an inspector would ask about it.

  1. 01

    Describe each system

    Commodity, pipe type, states, class locations, high consequence areas and who regulates it.

  2. 02

    Review what applies

    Each Part and Subpart arrives with the system fact that triggered it.

  3. 03

    Confirm with a qualified person

    Applies, does not apply or needs more facts. The reasoning stays on the record.

  4. 04

    Assign an owner and the proof

    One accountable role and the document, record or report that shows it is done.

  5. 05

    Set the PHMSA interval

    Monthly, six times a year, twice a year, annual or every three or five years, with both limits counted.

  6. 06

    Reopen when something changes

    A new rule, a class change or a new segment reopens the rows it touches.

An obligation is only handled when its next date has a name beside it.

Your Part

X3 Organizes the Obligation. Your People Make the Call.

The register is only as good as the facts and decisions behind it. Four things stay with your team.

Keep each system profile current

New segments, class changes and new HCAs change what applies.

Decide applicability

A qualified person confirms each obligation. X3 never decides it for you.

Attach the real proof

The actual manual, record or survey, not a status badge.

File with PHMSA yourself

Reports and notifications are prepared for you to review and submit.

The Outcome

The Inspector Asks. You Open One Row.

An inspection at an operator running X3 Pipeline Compliance is an obligation, the reason it applies, the person who owns it, the last time it was done and the proof, all on one row.

Know earlier.

See the review that is drifting toward its limit before it lapses.

Own it.

Every obligation has a name and a date beside it.

Why per mile. Pipeline work grows with miles of pipe: patrols, test stations, valves, leak surveys and assessments all scale with the system. So X3 Pipeline is priced per regulated mile. Every product has a monthly minimum that covers your first 100 miles, because every operator carries the same fixed work whatever its size: written procedures, an OQ program, an emergency plan and annual reports. Each mile after that adds a small amount. All nine products cost about four times one, so running the whole loop is the better deal, and paying for a year gets you twelve months for the price of ten.

Straight Answers

Questions Operators Ask About X3 Pipeline Compliance.

Have one that is not here? Ask X3, or write to us and a person will answer.

Does X3 Pipeline Compliance decide what applies to us?
No. It organizes the obligations that may apply, with the citation and the system facts behind each one. A qualified person at your company confirms applicability, and the reasoning stays on the record.
Does it cover state pipeline rules?
Each system carries its state and its regulator, so state requirements that go beyond the federal minimum are reviewed beside the federal rule. Your qualified reviewer confirms which version governs.
How are due dates worked out?
PHMSA writes most recurring duties with two limits, such as "each calendar year, not exceeding 15 months". X3 computes both and uses whichever comes first, the same way an inspector reads it.
Do I have to buy all nine products?
No. X3 Pipeline Compliance works on its own. Each product owns one job, and you add another when that job matters to you. The command center brings together whichever products you have.
How do I start?
Create your account, describe your pipeline systems once in Company Setup, then add X3 Pipeline Compliance (or all nine products) to your plan. Your company starts empty and every screen tells you what to do first.
How does pricing work?
One product is $499 a month for your first 100 miles of pipe, then $3 a month for each mile after that. All nine products are $1,999 a month for your first 100 miles, then $12 a mile. Pay for a year and you get twelve months for the price of ten. Over 2,500 miles, we set the plan up with you.
