Operational Risk Management Enhancements

October 2011



Enbridge Liquid Pipelines



Operational Risk Management

•Manage and reduce risk of mainline operationsto people, the environment & the business

•Identify high risk operations

•Identify high consequence areas

•Model pipeline system to characterize risk

•Implement programs to manage & mitigate risk



•Enhancements underway as a result of learningsfrom last year’s incidents

– More formalized processes

– New tool development

– Greater visibility and expansion of the ORM team

– Higher expectations for use of its tools and approaches

– Greater spend

Operational Risk Management



Data Management Enhancements

•Corporate “Data Governance and Stewardship”

policy

•Common data repository (considering PODS)

•“Single Version of the Truth”•100% confidence in data (or explainable variances)

•Data quality assurance and quality control

improvements

•“Real-time” data collection for “Real-time” riskAssessment



Consequence Enhancements

•Enhanced and more granular water crossings data

•HVP population density survey (200m, 800m)Canada and U.S.

•Identification of population sensitive areas

•Identification of Canadian “HCAs”



Water Crossing Data Enhancements

•Lakes, Rivers, Creeks, sloughs, wetlands,

ditches, etc.

•Identifying Water Crossings & Tributaries

– Beginning of 2010: 100 + crossings

– End of 2010: Approx 600 water crossings identified

– End of 2011: Approx 7500 water crossings identified

•Examine water crossings in detail including:

– Tributary impacts to larger water bodies

– Identification of downstream impacts within 250 miles



Standardized Risk Assessment Matrix

•Developing an Enbridge Liquid Pipelines RiskAssessment Matrix

– Work-in-progress (2010-11) development involving SMEsthroughout Enbridge Liquid Pipelines

– Standardization of terminology and approach – one matrixtool

– Incorporation of Likelihood Frequency

•Mechanical Damage, Weather, Outside Force / Ground Movement,

Incorrect Operations, Construction, Appurtenances / Sleeves,Corrosion, Cracking Fatigue, SCC

– Incorporation of Consequence Scoring

•Health and Safety, Environmental, Reputation, Financial



Standardized Risk Assessment Matrix

• Identification of risk focus

areas

• Clear definition of acceptable, unacceptableand ALARP

• Mitigate out of the red

• Enables apples to applescomparison between projects

• Prioritize resources onhighest risk areas

• Multiple uses for matrix

within organization



Semi-quantitative Mainline Risk AssessmentModel

• Semi-quantitative Mainline Risk Assessment Model replaces

Indexed Mainline Model

– Defines acceptable, unacceptable, ALARP

– Utilizes threat and consequence decision trees and new

risk assessment matrix

– Cumulative process used to assess likelihood andconsequence - Enables identification of “Super” HCASegments

– Software selected to support model

Enbridge Liquid PipelinesIdentification of Risk Treatments

•Operational Risk Management facilitatesidentification of potential risk treatments

•Cost-benefit analysis applied to select optimumrisk treatment(s) for implementation

•Operational Risk Management sponsors risktreatment execution, reports on progress, andmeasures risk reduction achieved
