HOUSTON, April 11, 2005 – EMS Pipeline Services, a leading pipeline operations and maintenance service provider, today introduced PGAS-WebView, an Internet-based natural gas meter tracking and data management system designed for upstream production companies as well as pipeline companies. EMS Pipeline Services is a business unit of Energy Maintenance Services Group I, LLC (EMS Group).

● Meter Configuration Reports – These reports show reconfiguration of meters and equipment, and displaying changes in corresponding data, helping avoid accounting and reporting errors.
● Volume Inquiry Reports – By accessing daily records of all meter and meter group activity within a date range, these reports can quickly answer accounting, billing and scheduling questions.
