Change the Compensation Requirement

If you need to change the compensation requirement for a pipeline segment and related test point inspections, use the Maintenance window available in the Telluric workspace to apply the features labeled Add Requirement or Remove Requirement as needed.

Changing the compensation requirement must occur prior to running telluric compensation for the pipeline survey. The compensation requirement cannot be changed once telluric compensation has completed and results have been applied to the PCS database.

Complete the following steps to change the compensation requirement for a pipeline segment:

  1. Open the Telluric workspace in CPDM module. Click Data Entry > Edit CPDM Data >Inspection > Test Point and then the Telluric tab.

    If you see the Options window, click Apply or press Enter.

  2. Locate the upstream and downstream SDL survey files associated with the selected pipeline segment by clicking the down arrow in the Survey Date field and selecting a survey date using a calendar. You can also type a survey date in the field using the format MM/DD/YYYY to indicate the month, day, and year. Then click Find.

  3. Click Maintenance to open the Maintenance window and then click the Compensation Requirements tab.

  5. Complete one of the following steps:

    1. To add the compensation requirement to the selected pipeline segment, click Add Requirement.

    2. To remove the compensation requirement from the selected pipeline segment, click Remove Requirement.

      After adding or removing the compensation requirement, PCS closes the Maintenance window and returns to the Telluric workspace.
