Exploration

Exploration moves fast.

Your program needs to keep up.

From wellhead to gathering system, EWN helps exploration operators qualify workers, manage task coverage, and stay ahead of evolving PHMSA requirements without slowing operations down.

Gathering regulation is moving. Your qualification records need to move with it.

Exploration and gathering operations face a patchwork of federal and state requirements—49 CFR Part 192 for gas gathering lines, Part 195 for hazardous liquid gathering, and growing state-level enforcement as regulators extend oversight to previously unregulated gathering systems. EWN keeps your qualification records aligned with ASME B31Q, API 1161, and the specific task list your operations demand.

Gathering operations are growing. Qualification gaps grow with them.

As gathering systems expand and regulatory scrutiny increases, operators need to prove that every covered task has a qualified worker behind it and on demand. When your workforce spans remote locations, multiple contractors, and tasks that evolve with infrastructure, maintaining a defensible qualification record isn't just good practice. It's the baseline.


  • Field crews rotate frequently, creating coverage gaps that don't show up until an audit
  • New gathering lines bring new covered tasks that existing workers may not yet qualify for
  • Proving compliance to state regulators expanding oversight requires documentation that's instant and complete
  • Multiple contractors and multiple portals often provide no single view of who's qualified to do what

One platform. Every task. Every worker. Fully defensible.

EWN centralizes OQ management for gathering operators, providing training, field evaluations, task assignments, and qualification records all in one place. When regulators come asking, your program is already ready.

Task Coverage

You Can Prove

Map every covered task across your gathering system to qualified workers. EWN's OQ dashboards show qualification status by contractor, evaluator, and task—so you spot coverage gaps before they become compliance issues.

Field-Ready

Evaluations

Deploy performance evaluations in the field without paperwork. EWN's mobile evaluation tools let qualified evaluators assess workers on-site, capture results instantly, and sync back to the platform automatically.

Content Built for Gathering Operations

Access a library of CBTs and performance evaluations aligned to gathering-specific tasks like, pipeline pressure testing, valve operation, leak survey, corrosion control, and more. Or bring your own content through EWN's custom content tools.
