SCADA system design methodology in oil and gas with case study of subsea production control system

Abstract

The latest trend of oil and gas production has moved towards deeper water as more oil and gas resources are found in this area. By conducting operation in subsea, it limits human direct involvement in commissioning operations. The control action and process monitoring are facilitated with supervisory control and data acquisition concept which provides supervision control in a remote location. Due to the harsh environment of operation, careful design process which defines and decomposes the characteristic of SCAD A system is critically needed in order to ensure optimum performance during product life cycle.
