Maximizing Synergy between Industrial Automation and Ethernet Networks for the Oil and Gas IndustryOil and gas are still indispensible fuels for the global economy, and exploring for new sources of oil and gas remains a lucrative and attractive endeavor. New oil platforms, rigs, and pipelines are constantly being constructed to meet the demand for oil, with a corresponding growth in the number of factories and control centers used to process and manage crude oil. To maximize efficiency and safety, these systems are becoming more integrated, but unfortunately, the traditional SCADA systems used by the oil and gas industry are difficult to integrate because they are highly independent and have limited connectivity to other systems. This limitation will need to be overcome as oil facilities grow more complex, and safety and reliability grow ever more important. Moxa’s complete range of industrial networking, monitoring, and computing products are engineered for harsh mission-critical environments, and provide the reliability, flexibility, and safety needed to maintain and operate oil and gas facilities.

Improved FlexibilityEthernet technology greatly expands data transmission boundaries, allowing data to be accessed from anywhere to achieve live monitoring of remote sites and real-time response to emergencies.

Real-Time Monitoring of Oil Pipeline SystemsThe role of oil pipelines is to distribute the crude oil from drilling rigs to oil storage tanks and then to refineries. Typically, pipelines span several thousand miles over harsh terrain and require a central SCADA system based on Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and microwave architecture to measure, monitor, and control the status of field instruments across the entire oil flow. Multiple pumping stations, such as block valve stations and compressor stations, keep the pressure in the pipeline constant. Operators can quickly detect, locate, and prevent or resolve leaks, damages, and breaks by deploying a rugged, extendable fiber-optic Ethernet network. The network must be robust, highly available, and include an integrated remote monitoring and surveillance service for pipeline operation to improve safety and reliability and reduce the total cost of the pipeline.

Network Requirementsn The SCADA system and network management software at the

control center receive and monitor the pipeline’s operational status.

n A reliable wired or wireless communication network supports the pipeline-wide remote data monitoring system with IP cameras, Ethernet gateways, serial device servers, RTU controllers, and remote I/O devices, to seamlessly communicate with the central system.

Upstream

The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) contributes 77% of India’s crude oil and 81% of its natural gas supply. The goal of this project was to centralize asset management for 45 of ONGC’s remote oil & gas production platforms. The system includes both offshore and onshore locations, and relies on networked radio transmissions to link on-site monitoring and control instruments with the central, enterprise-scale control server. Moxa supplied the network solutions for the upstream production locations, where industrial-grade durability and heightened safety precautions are crucial requirements. Instruments at the manufacturing sites communicate with Ethernet-capable RTUs via the HART protocol. The signals from the RTUs are forwarded to Moxa’s EDS-408A Ethernet switches, and then passed to NPort IA5150 serial device servers before being transmitted by radio to the central control facility. Certified as Class I Div. 2 / Zone 2 and DNV approved, Moxa’s switches and device servers are critical components, guaranteeing safe and reliable site-to-station communications for monitoring and control.

This project involved 500 distributed oil & gas wells situated in the Khurais region of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Aramco needed a network that reliably connects remote RTUs at the wellheads to the SCADA system that controls field instruments. Each field site must link a Moxa VPort 351 video encoder to a CCTV camera, and an MGate MB3170I Modbus gateway to a multi-phase flow meter that connects the flow meter to a PLC. The SCADA system is located at the Gas-Oil Separation Process (GOSP) plant, so for video, voice, and data communications, each station is connected to the Gigabit fiber backbone by an EDS-510A Gigabit Ethernet switch. Finally, in the SCADA center’s communication room, Moxa’s modular PT-7828 series managed Layer 3 Ethernet switches were installed to handle data transmissions across different LAN networks.

Why Moxa?• The one-click AutoScan function

allows gateways to detect data from PROFIBUS I/O modules directly

• Web-based monitoring tool enables easy maintenance and configuration

• Supports a fault value function that allows gateways to automatically return to default settings to prevent unpredictable operational problems when the SCADA connection is lost

One of the leading oil well solutions companies faced a big challenge when their PROFIBUS interface card was phased out. The PROFIBUS interface card is a critical component, connecting the operator station display to reliable and accurate real-time drilling data such as drilling breaks, flow deviations, and pressure loss to help drillers instantly identify problems, and prevent system downtime. As a result, this company needed to find an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for their mission-critical oil & gas application. Moxa’s MGate 5101-PBM-MN Modbus TCP gateway integrates existing PROFIBUS devices into the Modbus TCP-based operator station, while keeping the existing driver settings for remote control. It features a web-based monitoring tool and relay output warning to keep maintenance to a minimum.

This project involved the optimization of a distributed control system (DCS) used for monitoring and control at a naptha cracking plant in southern Taiwan. To guarantee continuous, 100% network availability, two parallel, independent fiber-optic Ethernet networks were used as the DCS backbone, giving full redundancy to control, monitoring, and sensor devices by connecting every DCS station to both networks. Moxa’s modular EDS-728 managed Ethernet switches served as the backbone nodes, connecting the HMI/SCADA system to remote stations where data servers and controllers monitor and manage local I/O data. To connect the remote stations to the backbone, unmanaged EDS-308 Ethernet switches were used. Finally, the entire equipment array of the DCS workstations were also duplicated, to provide full across-the-board redundancy, making this Ethernet-based automation network among the most reliable in the world.
