Oil & Gas Process Automation
Specialized control systems, explosion-proof field instrumentation, and remote telemetry for oil & gas sites.
Automation of Oil and Gas Production Processes
Managing oil and gas production and transport requires reliable automation systems. Works include designing solutions for wellheads, pump stations, and oil-gas metering skids. Engineering is based on standards of industrial automation. Configuring control loops ensures the stability of process parameters at production sites. We implement pressure control loops and automated valves to regulate flow rates safely. Specialized safety valves are integrated to block wells in case of pipeline pressure drops.
- Automating oil and gas wellhead parameters.
- Engineering pump station control panels.
- Designing oil and gas metering skid controls.
Monitoring of Tank Farm Parameters
Monitoring tank farm parameters covers automating liquid storage processes. Designs include installing instrumentation to monitor level, pressure, and temperature inside storage tanks. These parameters are essential for safe tank operation. Designing tank farm systems is closely linked with process control systems design. Guided-wave radar level gauges are commonly used to provide precise measurement of fluids. These sensors transmit continuous trends to the central SCADA system for storage and alerts.
- Integrating level and temperature transmitters.
- Designing high-level safety shutdown loops.
- Coordinating tank parameters with control rooms.
Explosion-Protected Field Instrumentation
Operating electrical devices in areas with flammable gases requires using explosion-protected field instrumentation. Designs specify barrier units in panels and Ex-rated field devices. Configuring PLC programming is performed with signal redundancy to enhance safety in hazardous areas. Ex d flameproof enclosures and Ex i intrinsically safe circuits are selected according to hazardous-area design requirements. Certified flameproof cable entry devices are used for applicable Ex d installations.
- Selecting Ex-rated field sensors and transmitters.
- Using barriers in control panels.
- Designing grounding layouts for Ex-equipment.
Telemetry for Remote Oil and Gas Facilities
Telemetry systems are deployed to monitor remote oil and gas facilities. They gather data from field devices and transmit it to the control room via communication lines. During operation, regular maintenance of automation equipment is performed on controllers, panels, and sensors. Field teams inspect remote solar-powered telemetry stations to check battery levels and radio links.
- Implementing telemetry RTU systems at sites.
- Configuring wireless data transmission links.
- Maintenance of telemetry panels and sensors.
