Depending on the selected Equipment group a pop-up window will contain the following tab(s):

  • Equipment tab only, for all the Equipment groups except "Pipelines", "Flowlines" and "Pipeline Jumpers".

Equipment details only pop-up window. To see the descriptions of the fields in the Equipment tab of the pop-up window see PLSS Equipment Details Page - All Equipment.

Or

  • Equipment and Design Data tabs for "Pipeline", "Flowline" and "Pipeline Jumper" Equipment groups.
Equipment details and Design Data pop-up window.

To view the descriptions of the fields present in the two tabs see PLSS Equipment Details Page - Pipeline, Flowline and Pipeline Jumper.

The selection of the Equipment group for the Equipment is based on the FLOC Location Type. The list of FLOC Location Types together with their related Equipment groups see FLOC Location Types and Equipment Groups.

 Note: if a piece of  Equipment has been created, the Equipment group cannot be changed anymore. In case the Equipment group was wrongly selected the equipment has to be deleted first and then a new one should be created.
