 M&H Energy Services specializes in natural gas, liquid and
CO2 pipelines and their associated production, processing and transmission
facilities. Our client base consists of companies throughout the
industry, ranging from independent gas gathering companies to large,
gas transmission and processing companies.
Our staff provides a
variety of skill sets, most of which have direct compliance experience
in engineering, operations, and maintenance
of both onshore and offshore facilities. Our auditors can review
compliance with Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations and requirements, OSHA safety
standards, Process Safety Management (PSM), and International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) 14000. Our integrated
operations support
team can provide operating procedures, maintenance management systems
and training.
We thrive on "fast track" projects because
we don't have the encumbrances of our larger competitors. Our "small
company" culture
and "big company" expertise provides the optimum blend
of response, efficiency, and accuracy.
Our team of professionals is focused on the success of your compliance
effort. This team can efficiently handle all aspects of program
design, implementation, reporting, and auditing. We can manage
the entire compliance effort including DOT submittals and final
approval, or individual compliance elements where our assistance
and expertise is needed. Our philosophy is that your safety and
compliance program should work in support of profitability, not
at its expense.
M&H Energy Services has provided assistance
at any level or capacity our clients required to develop integrity
management programs.
These services may be as simple as handling onsite investigations
or background class determinations, to providing audit services
and regulatory interpretations on a case-by-case basis. From auditing
your existing compliance system to integrating forward-looking
procedures, our intent is to facilitate your regulatory compliance.
We have written integrity management plans that have bound together
the client's existing compliance related documents and procedures
into a workable plan for the future while minimizing environmental
and safety risks.
M&H Energy services can provide assistance in maintaining your
integrity management plan, file semiannual reports to the OPS,
monitor population growth trends and how they affect class locations,
review of one-call and encroachment reports, provide community
awareness brochures, and provide scheduling for and reassessment
of covered pipelines.
With your convenience in mind, M&H Energy Services offers web
based document management, management of change, and reporting
to facilitate your compliance effort. The documents we prepare
for you can be accessed through a secure website using password
protection. The change control system allows you to track progress
of changes through the modification and submittal process. It also
has web-based notification and signoff to simplify logistics challenges.
