2 - Section 2 - Introduction
2.1. The Federal Integrity Management Rule
The Department of Transportation/Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
(DOT/PHMSA) issued a new Subpart P to 192 titled Gas Distribution Pipeline Integrity Management
(DIMP) on December 4, 2009. The latest amended version of Subpart P was issued on February 1, 2011.
The Rule specifies regulations for identifying threats, evaluating risk, implementing measures to address
risk, measure performance, monitor results, and evaluate effectiveness.
Operators are required to develop and implement a gas distribution integrity management plan no later
than August 2, 2011.
2.2. Pipelines Operated by West Texas Gas
West Texas Gas (WTG) operates approximately 485 gas distribution systems in Texas and Oklahoma
totaling over 5000 miles. The systems consist of steel and plastic (ABS, PVC, and PE) and range in size
from less than 2 to 22.
2.3. Terms as Used In the IMP
Terms as used in West Texas Gas Integrity Management Program, e.g. Hazardous Leak, are as defined
or described in 192, the Texas Administrative Code, and the West Texas Gas Operations and
Maintenance Manual.
The Integrity Management Department consists of the Director of Integrity Management and the Pipeline
Integrity Specialist.

4 - Section 4 - Knowledge
4.1. Regulation
49 CFR 192.1007(a)
(a) Knowledge. An operator must demonstrate an understanding of its gas distribution system
developed from reasonably available information.
1) Identify the characteristics of the pipeline's design and operations and the environmental
factors that are necessary to assess the applicable threats and risks to its gas distribution
pipeline.
2) Consider the information gained from past design, operations, and maintenance.
3) Identify additional information needed and provide a plan for gaining that information over
time through normal activities conducted on the pipeline (for example, design, construction,
operations or maintenance activities).
4) Develop and implement a process by which the IM program will be reviewed periodically and
refined and improved as needed.
5) Provide for the capture and retention of data on any new pipeline installed. The data must
include, at a minimum, the location where the new pipeline is installed and the material of
which it is constructed.
4.2. System Knowledge
Knowledge of a distribution system can be defined as information, such as the materials and type of
construction, the operating conditions of the pipe or facility, and other relevant factors within the
surroundings in which the system operates. This knowledge of the system will help identify the threats to
the system and establish which systems or segments should be subject to a risk evaluation.
4.2.1. Data Gathering
In order to develop an accurate risk assessment of each system, WTG collects data from the following
types of sources:
1. Paper records.
2. Electronic records.
3. Interviews with field personnel.
4. Field observations and research.
Data from the above sources are compiled into a master spreadsheet which serves as the reference for
risk assessment and segment performance assessments.
4.2.2. Missing Data
Where paper or electronic records are not available, WTG shall make use of Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs) or reasonable and carefully considered deductions. These deductions will become part of the
system knowledge until better information may be obtained through design, construction, operations or
maintenance activities.
4.3. Updates
During the course of operating or maintaining a distribution system, additional information will become
available, including pipe and risk factor data. Field personnel should be trained to recognize potentially
useful pipe or risk data during their daily activities. This data shall be reported to the Integrity
Management Department for inclusion in the plan and related risk assessments. The minimum
information that should be recorded each time a segment is serviced or repaired is as follows:
8
1. Location.
2. Pipe type.
3. Pipe size.
Data discovered in the field may become part of a leak report or other maintenance work order. In this
case, notification shall be made to the Integrity Management Department of the additional system
knowledge. Field personnel should carefully complete the necessary forms and documentation for the
work being performed. Updates to system knowledge may be made from the collected data.
Each time a pipeline is exposed, WTG Form 1100 should be filled out to document the condition of the
pipe. A check box is included in this form to verify if the DIMP data currently being used is correct. If the
DIMP data is incorrect, the form will be sent to the Integrity Management Department with the corrected
data in order to update the DIMP risk model and associated databases.
Each time a new pipe line is installed, the Project Report Form WTG-1400 will be filled out to document
pipe material, size, manufacturer, year manufactured, grade, material designation code, pipe category,
wall thickness and test pressure. WTG-1400 along with shape files showing the exact location will be
submitted to the Integrity Management Department for processing and installation into GIS mapping.
4.4. DOT Annual Report
PHMSA Form 7100.1-1, Gas Distribution System Annual Report, contains the basis of WTGs system
knowledge. Form 7100.1-1 is also a source of historical system information. Before data from the annual
report is used as system knowledge, it must be verified as current and accurate by the Integrity
Management Department.
PHMSA Form 7100.1-1 may also be used as a source of information for past design, operations and
maintenance decisions. The Integrity Management Department shall review historical filings for trends
relating to segment risk and incorporate this information into the body of system knowledge.
4.5. Annual Review
At least once per calendar year, at intervals not to exceed 15 months, the Integrity Management
Department shall review this program for consistency with 49 CFR 192 Subpart P and for necessary
updates to system and threat information. The program review shall be documented and retained
according to 49 CFR 192.1011. The annual program review shall include interviews with field personnel
and other SMEs to verify the completeness of data derived from operations and maintenance reports.
Section 10.2 further details the requirements of this report.
9
5 - Section 5 - Threat Identification Plan
5.1. Regulation
49 CFR 192.1007(b)
(b) Identify threats. The operator must consider the following categories of threats to each gas
distribution pipeline: corrosion, natural forces, excavation damage, other outside force damage,
material or welds, equipment failure, incorrect operations, and other concerns that could threaten
the integrity of its pipeline. An operator must consider reasonably available information to identify
existing and potential threats. Sources of data may include, but are not limited to, incident and
leak history, corrosion control records, continuing surveillance records, patrolling records,
maintenance history, and excavation damage experience.
5.2. Threat Factors
Threat factors used in the Risk Analysis are listed in Section 6.6.
5.3. Threat Factor Information
The specific threat factor information used in the Threat Identification process is located in Appendix A.
The Integrity Management Department reviews and updates this information annually per Section 6.2.5.
If sufficient information is unavailable or is considered unreliable by the Integrity Management Department
for a particular threat factor, the Integrity Management Department with assistance from the SME of that
specific discipline will either identify that particular threat factor as unknown which scores at the highest
possible value or make a conservative, but realistic, estimate for that information element. The Integrity
Management Department will document the use of all estimated information elements in the Risk Analysis
for that particular segment.
For potential for frost action and corrosive properties of soil data, WTG utilizes information published on
the USDAs National Resources Conservation Services website.
Earthquake faults and acceleration data is obtained from the USGS.
5.4. Threat Identification by System
5.4.1. Process
The Integrity Management Department uses the process contained in Section 6 and the risk model
contained in Appendix B to determine the risk score for each system and the associated Threat Severity
Index.
10

6 - Section 6 - Risk Analysis Process and Risk Factors
6.1. Regulation
49 CFR 192.1007(c)
(c) Evaluate and rank risk. An operator must evaluate the risks associated with its distribution
pipeline. In this evaluation, the operator must determine the relative importance of each threat
and estimate and rank the risks posed to its pipeline. This evaluation must consider each
applicable current and potential threat, the likelihood of failure associated with each threat, and
the potential consequences of such a failure. An operator may subdi vide its pipeline into regions
with similar characteristics (e.g., contiguous areas within a distribution pipeline consisting of
mains, services and other appurtenances; areas with common materials or environmental
factors), and for which similar actions likely would be effective in reducing risk.
6.2. Process
This Section describes the use of the relative risk model to evaluate the relative risk posed by each
System, in order to determine the highest priority pipeline segments for use in the Additional and
Accelerated Actions evaluation. Risk is defined as the: Likelihood of Failure times the Consequences of
Failure.
6.2.1. Information Sources
The Integrity Management Department utilized sources such as leak history, corrosion records,
continuing surveillance records, patrolling records, maintenance history, excavation damage experience,
and SME knowledge for initial gathering of threat and consequence related information. The current
information is found in Appendix A and is updated annually per Section 6.2.5.
6.2.1.1. Records Retention
All WTG records that pertain to DIMP will be maintained as required by 192 and the West Texas Gas
O&M Manual. In addition, all DIMP related records must be maintained for at least ten years even if 192
or the West Texas Gas O&M Manual requires less. This will include any superseded revision to this plan.
The Integrity Management Department will be contacted prior to the purging process of all DIMP related
records.
6.2.2. Threats
Probability of Failure is a function of the Threats to a pipelines integrity. Threats to a pipelines integrity
are listed in eight categories. WTG may add additional threat categories in the Other category if
conditions warrant such an addition.
1. Corrosion.
2. Natural forces.
3. Excavation Damage.
4. Other outside force damage.
5. Material of weld failure.
6. Equipment failure.
7. Incorrect operation.
8. Other.
11
6.2.3. Threat Severity Index
Each Threat category has numerous factors with which to evaluate the particular pipeline/segments
threat level. The factors are evaluated using a scoring system
1
and the ratings are then summed for each
category to arrive at a raw Threat number. This raw number is normalized by dividing the sum of the
threat scores by the maximum possible threat scores. This number is called the Threat Severity Index.
The Threat Severity Index is established based on guidance found in Criteria and Risk Assessment
sections of ASME B31.8S-2010 Appendix A.
6.2.4. Significant Threats
If the Threat Severity Index is > 67%, that particular threat is deemed to be a Significant Threat and A/A
actions will be considered for that segment.
The Threat Severity Index (TSI) is calculated with the following formula.
TSI = [total risk score points from risk model minus number of risk factors]/[4*number of risk factors]
This methodology is explained as follows.
1. Each threat factor can be scored with a range from a minimum value of 1 to a maximum value of
5. Consequently, there is a scoring range of 4 for each threat factor.
2. Each threat factor is scored appropriately and the individual threat factor scores are summed to
determine the total threat score.
3. Similarly for each threat, e.g. corrosion, the maximum number of points that can possibly be
scored is 4 (range from 1 to 5) times the number of threat factors.
4. For example, if there are fourteen threats in a threat category and total points scored for that
threat is 52, the TSI is 68% by the following calculation; [52-14]/[4*14].
6.2.5. Threat Weighting
The threat sum score is then divided by the number of criteria in each Threat category. This normalized
number is then multiplied by a rating factor for that particular Threat. This yields a series of weighted
Threat category numbers that are summed to determine the Likelihood of Failure for a particular System.
Systems with multiple pipe material types, sizes, or other factors are ranked by their individual Segments
and then averaged to get a System total.
The SME Team meets annually to update the risk analysis using sources of information listed in Section
6.2.1 and establish the weighting factors for the risk model. The SME Team includes the Integrity
Management Department, field personnel, and other SMEs as needed. The SME Team uses historical
failure records, operating experience and available design information to define the relative risk hierarchy
and weighting factors.
The following table shows the threat weighting results for 2011.

Material or Weld 10% 15%
Equipment 6% 6%
Incorrect Operations 6% 6%
Other 3% 3%

6.2.6. Consequence of Failure
Consequence of Failure is a function of the severity of a release. In this case, ten factors found in the
Consequences section of the Risk Analysis are evaluated to determine the consequence of a release
from any West Texas Gas distribution segment.
6.3. Risk Determination
The Risk for each Covered Segment is determined by multiplying the Likelihood of Failure by the
Consequences of Failure. These numbers for each segment are found in Appendix B.
6.4. Regions
Regions can be defined as a method of subdividing pipeline Systems into areas with similar
characteristics (e.g., contiguous areas within a distribution pipeline consisting of mains, services, and
other appurtenances; areas with common material or environmental factors), and for which similar A/A
actions likely would be effective in reducing risk. The WTG risk results can be subdivided in a multitude of
ways. First, risk is looked at on a System basis. This can be narrowed down to an individual Segment risk
within each System to further identify what is driving the risk. Each System can also be narrowed down by
material type, size, or other similar characteristic to further define the region if needed.
6.5. Validation of Results
The information used to fill out each individual threat factor is obtained from electronic records, paper
records, SMEs, or a combination of these as described in Section 4.2.1 and Section 4.2.2. The
information source for each threat factor is identified in the risk model. Upon completion of a new Risk
Analysis, the results shall be validated by a person or persons qualified to validate the results. The
validation process will focus mainly on information from SMEs. Information from paper and electronic
sources are checked for accuracy and completeness before being input into the risk model. The
individuals validating the results must have the following minimum qualifications.
1. Minimum two years engineering, operating or maintenance experience with WTG.
2. Minimum five years experience in pipeline engineering, operating or maintenance.
3. Thorough knowledge of 192 with particular emphasis on Subpart P.
13
4. Detailed knowledge of the WTG DIMP Program.
5. Thorough knowledge of the principles of risk management.
6. Detailed knowledge of the WTG risk model and ability to interpret results produced by the model.
7. Ability to communicate results shown by the risk model to other WTG personnel including
management.

7 - Section 7 - Additional and Accelerated Actions
7.1. Regulation
49 CFR 192.1007(d)
(d) Identify and implement measures to address risks. Determine and implement measures designed
to reduce the risks from failure of its gas distribution pipeline. These measures must include an
effective leak management program (unless all leaks are repaired when found).
7.2. Process for the Identification and Evaluation of New Measures for Line Pipe
The Integrity Management Department will evaluate each System within twelve months of completing a
risk evaluation for the possible implementation of Additional and Accelerated (A/A) actions.
The Integrity Management Department will use the form in Appendix E to facilitate the evaluation of new
A/A actions.
The Integrity Management Department will review the individual Threat and Consequence scores for
each System. Within each System, the Integrity Management Department will identify each threat factor
having the maximum score of five and each System having an individual Threat Severity Index
2
score
67%.
The Integrity Management Department will then review those Systems for possible application of A/A
actions in order to reduce the individual threat factor scores and the Threat Severity Index score.
The Integrity Management Department will develop a specific A/A action plan for the system/segment that
requires A/A actions. This plan will include A/A actions, implementation dates, responsibilities, expected
outcome, measurement and management approval. Management approval will consist of VP, Operations
Manager, District Manager and Integrity Management Department.
The following table provides examples of A/A action to be considered. WTG may implement one or more
of these examples in order to address the threats to each System. The examples given are not intended
to rule out any other reasonable action that WTG may select to reduce the risk of a System.

7.3. Leak Management Program
WTG has implemented an electronic Leak Tracking System (LTS) which stores all leak data. The LTS is
used as a scheduler for upcoming leak surveys, repairs to non-hazard leaks, and re-probes for any open
leaks. The LTS also houses the data used to trend all leaks within WTG.
7.4. West Texas Gas Distribution Pipelines Located in Texas
7.4.1. Service Line Removal or Replacement (TAC 8.209)
WTG owns and operates 424 distribution systems within the state of Texas. These 424 systems have a
total of 269 TRRC system identification numbers. The following is WTGs risk-based program to meet
TAC rule 8.209 for Distribution Facilities Replacement.
TAC rule 8.209 requires each operator to determine what the greatest risk to public safety is for each
system. The process that WTG uses to determine this risk is determined by calculating the number of
leaks for steel service lines and comparing this to the number of leaks on main lines for an equal period of
time. This information will determine if the systems greatest risk is either steel service lines or main lines.
The data used for this comparison is made using the number of leaks reported by WTG on the PS95
filings. The initial determination was made using data from 2009 and 2010. Going forward three years of
data will be used. The following procedure will be followed after the above mentioned determination is
made. The initial scheduling for replacement of any facilities will begin on January 1, 2012.
7.4.1.1. Systems that fall into the Steel Service Lines category:
Each system will have an annualized steel service line leak rate calculated using the following formula:
1. Number of below grade leaks repaired on steel service lines (excluding third party damage leaks
and leaks on steel service lines that have been removed or replaced by this regulation) divided by
the number of steel service lines reported to PHMSA on form F 7100.1-1. Beginning in 2012 three
years (3) of data will be used for this calculation, however for initial implementation only two (2)
years of data is being considered.
Based on the results of the leak rate calculation, the following schedule will be used for replacement:
1. Any system with an annualized steel service line leak rate of 7.5% or greater will be considered
Priority 1 and removed or replaced by June 30, 2013.
2. Any system with an annualized steel service line leak rate greater than 5% but less than 7.5% will
be considered Priority 2 and no less than 10% of the original inventory in service at the beginning
of the year must be removed from service or replaced.
3. Any system with an annualized steel service line leak rate of less than 5% will be considered
Priority 3 and removal or replacement is not required; however upon discovery of any new service
line leak, the service line must be removed or replaced rather than repaired.
The results of the initial data have determined that 12 WTG systems have steel service lines as the
greatest risk to public safety. These systems can be found in Appendix F.
7.4.1.2. Systems that fall into the Main Lines Steel category:
Each system will be prioritized using WTGs DIMP risk model. This risk model takes into consideration
pipe location, proximity to buildings and other structures, the type and use of the buildings, concentration
of the public, composition and nature of the system, age of the pipe, pipe material, type of pipeline facility,
operating pressure, leak history records, prior leak grade repairs, corrosion history, environmental
conditions, and additional factors.
Any system with a total risk score in the DIMP risk model of greater than 4.99 will have at least 5% of the
total system length replaced and/or removed on an annual basis, with the following exception:
1. Poly Pipe segments.
21
2. Coated steel segments with document history of effective corrosion protection (exposed pipe
reports & pipe to soil readings).
3. Pipeline segments greater than 500 foot from a building intended for human occupancy or a well -
defined outside public gathering area.
For each system/segment that meets this DIMP risk score greater than 4.99, the Integrity Management
Department will develop a system specific written plan for replacement and/or removal. Specific written
plans will not be developed for systems that require less than 100 foot of replacement and/or removal.
Required replacement and/or removal footage will be completed under normal routine maintenance
activities. The system specific written plans will be included on the annual report submitted to the TRRC
on or prior to March 15th of each year.
If greater than 5% of a systems mainline footage is replaced and/or removed in a calendar year, this
excess footage will be credited to the following years replacement schedule.
Any system with a total risk score in the DIMP risk model of less than 5.0 will not be included in the
mandatory replacement program.
The results of the initial data have determined that 412 WTG systems have main lines as the greatest risk
to public safety. Of the 412 systems, 30 systems have a DIMP risk score greater than 4.99. These
systems can be found in Appendix G.
7.4.1.3. Reporting Requirements:
On or prior to March 15th of each year, WTG will develop and submit to the TRRC an annual report which
will include the following:
1. A list of steel service lines or other distribution facilities (by system ID number) replaced during
the prior calendar year.
2. Revisions to WTGs risk-based replacement program.
3. Proposed specific work plan (by system ID) for the current year.
7.5. Mechanical Fitting Failure Regulation
49 CFR 192.1009 What must an operator report when a mechanical fitting fails?
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, each operator of a distribution pipeline system
must submit a report on each mechanical fitting failure, excluding any failure that results only in a
nonhazardous leak, on a Department of Transportation Form PHMSA F7100.12. The report(s)
must be submitted in accordance with 191.12.
(b) The mechanical fitting failure reporting requirements in paragraph (a) of this section do not apply
to the following:
(1) Master meter operators;
(2) Small LPG operator as defined in 192.1001; or
(3) LNG facilities.
7.5.1. Mechanical Fitting Failure Process
WTG is tracking all mechanical fitting failures on a distribution system. The Leak Tracking System (LTS)
will flag any mechanical fitting failure and notify the Integrity Management Department. The Integrity
Management Department will contact the district and gather required data to submit Department of
Transportation Form PHMSA F-7100.1-2.
