Every Handover Clean.Every Alarm Reviewed.

The control room rule asks for a lot of small things done every shift, every month and every year. X3 Pipeline Control Room makes the handover structured, keeps controller hours against your fatigue rules, and runs the monthly and yearly alarm and SCADA reviews on time.

The Exposure

The Alarm Was Inhibited in March. Nobody Noticed Until the Leak.

A point gets taken off scan during a maintenance job and never comes back. A controller works a sixth straight 12-hour shift. The handover is a few words on a notepad. None of it is dramatic on the day, and all of it is in the root cause.

The SCADA system works. The reviews around it slipped.

The Whole Control Room Rule, on One Clock.

Set up your consoles, controllers and fatigue limits once. X3 keeps the shift-level, monthly and yearly duties of the control room rule in one place.

Handover

A structured form: abnormal conditions, work in progress, alarms, overrides and what must carry over.

Fatigue

Shifts against your maximum hours and the off-duty time for 8 hours of continuous sleep.

Alarms

Monthly review of points off scan, inhibited, forced or false, and the yearly setpoint check.

SCADA

Point-to-point verification when displays or field equipment change, and the yearly backup test.

Roles

Who has authority to shut down and what a controller does in normal, abnormal and emergency operation.

Training

Controller training, hydraulics and lessons from operating experience, reviewed every year.

A good shift is not luck. It is a review that happened on time.

Control room program

One Program. Every Shift, Month and Year.

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.

Prices in US dollars. Subscriptions renew each month or year until cancelled.

Straight Answers

Questions Operators Ask About X3 Pipeline Control Room.

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

Does X3 connect to our SCADA system?
Not directly. Controllers record handovers and the monthly alarm review in X3, and SCADA exports can be imported from a spreadsheet. Nothing in X3 can send a command to the pipeline.
How are fatigue limits set?
From your own control room procedure: maximum shift length, maximum consecutive shifts and the minimum off-duty time for 8 hours of continuous sleep.
Does it work for gas and liquid control rooms?
Yes. 192.631 and 195.446 are handled the same way.
Do I have to buy all nine products?
No. X3 Pipeline Control Room 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 Control Room (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.
