Speakers: Mai Lindsey (Lindsey Inc), Edgar Gallegos (Sable Offshore)

This presentation will share lessons learned from Sable’s pipeline restart project and the use of AVEVA’s pipeline management solutions, including SCADA, Leak Detection, and Operator Trainer. The session will cover the readiness work required to support restart, including field communications, point-to-point testing, control room staffing, primary and backup control room location selection, design and buildout, and the phased implementation of the primary and secondary data centers.

It will also discuss the rigorous review process Sable had to meet under OSFM, which later shifted to PHMSA review for restart approval. The session will highlight Lindsey’s customer-side role in helping Sable build out the control room team, including Control Room Management (CRM) program development aligned with 49 CFR Part 195, controller training materials, qualification support, and onboarding programs.

It will also discuss how AVEVA, Lindsey, and Sable worked through a highly fluid restart schedule to support data center readiness, control room buildout, field work, testing, staffing, and startup preparation.
