GIS is commonly referred to as Geographic Information Systems, Geographical Information Systems, or Geospatial Information Systems. Since GIS mapping and submittal of regulated pipelines is required at a federal and state level we have an in-house GIS Analyst for mapping your company's pipeline systems. OPS is recognized by the Texas Railroad Commission as an approved vendor for submitting pipeline system maps. We can take your existing pipeline geospatial data or go out in the field and generate new geodata.

GIS Maps - Geospatial Data Conversion & Gathering

If your company has existing geospatial data from a pipeline survey we can convert it to almost any format and generate the appropriate reports and maps for submittal to the appropriate agencies. If your company does not have accurate or updated GIS on your pipeline system we will arrange for our field staff to locate your pipelines and GPS map your system with extremely high accuracy.

Our GIS Analyst will perform a pipeline class survey, to federal standards, to determine if any of your company's pipelines are state and/or federally regulated. We perform a number of very thorough studies and analysis on your pipeline system to determine any potential regulatory issues that could arise including:

Pipeline Residential Proximity Survey
