Copperleaf for Natural Gas

Delivering the highest value and integrity from assets in natural gas

The Copperleaf® Product Suite is meeting the investment decision challenges of gas utilities head-on.

Aging assets, an aging workforce, increasing regulation, and high demands in an era of scarce resources are forcing natural gas utilities to rethink their approach to investment planning and management. Value-based decision making in a transparent, data-driven environment is the formula for success.

Copperleaf Asset supports our continued improvement as an asset manager, enabling us to draw on best practices in complying with the ISO 55000 asset management standard.”

Risk-Informed Asset Investment Planning at ONE Gas

Utilities are facing increasing pressure to demonstrate they have a robust long-term strategy in place to manage their asset-related risks. ONE Gas selected Copperleaf Suite as part of a larger overall corporate transformation to centralize asset management and asset investment decision making across three states. Today, ONE Gas has over two million assets loaded in Copperleaf SUite. According to Matt Fulghum, Director of Asset Investment Planning & Management: “Across the enterprise, ONE Gas can look holistically at these assets, scope projects, and optimize a work plan that delivers the most value to our stakeholders.”

Every Copperleaf client has recovered their investment within their first planning cycle—and every organization that has implemented our solution continues to use it successfully today. They report:

National Grid Gas Transmission on the Implementation of Copperleaf

The Copperleaf Decision Analytics solution is now live at National Grid Gas Transmission (NGGT), which owns and operates the high-pressure gas transmission network, comprising of over 7,660 km of pipe and 618 above-ground installations in Great Britain. Copperleaf interviewed NGGT team members Neil Tansley, Asset Modelling Manager, and Jowita Uler, Portfolio Planning Manager, to get their thoughts on the implementation and how Copperleaf will help National Grid on its asset management journey.

Delivering energy to our customers safely, reliably and at the lowest reasonable cost is our priority, and Copperleaf’s industry-leading solution helps drive consistency and transparency in FortisBC’s AIP processes. Copperleaf provides us with a framework and the technology to enable us to make the best decisions for our customers and our stakeholders.

Now that we have Copperleaf, we have synergies between our data and our departments. The work is driven by the software and this has brought about a fundamental change in the way we operate.

Jowita Uler Portfolio Planning Manager, National Grid Gas Transmission

We recognized the need for a cross-company solution that would provide us with a centralized view of our entire portfolio of investments. We will use the Copperleaf solution to create more defensible, risk-informed plans, and ultimately select the highest-value projects to execute.
