Oil and Gas Distribution SCADA
The process of getting oil and gas from the well head (production source) to the refinery (processing facility) and ultimately to the consumer usually requires a large infrastructure of pipeline networks. The advances made in oil and gas distribution SCADA technology have significantly reduced the cost for remote telemetry devices and the communications infrastructure required to retrieve data from these devices. This in turn allows operators to remotely monitor, control and optimize their distribution network.
- Identify conditions that can lead to spills (leak detection)
- Quickly pinpoint spills and take upstream actions to mitigate effects
- Prepare downstream processes for inflow product composition
- Determine equipment effectiveness (i.e. pumping efficiency)
- Provide data to 3rd party modelling/simulation software (e.g. flow modelling, batch tracking)
