Remote operation of a sour gas treatment plant in the oil and gas industry in multiple locations:
Oil and gas have been a trending topic all the time with its influence towards economy. We
often look at the economic fluctuations from time to time, but not much on technical
aspects. We at BRT too, until we came across a few challenges from upstream in search of
solutions. Upstream is where exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons by drillings wells
happens.
Fossil fuels underneath has lot of impurities in it, such
as sulphur and many other elements. These impurities
can cause corrosive effect in pipelines and is hazardous to humans. Gas sweetening is a chemical process
to remove sulphides and co2. One of our clients while
designing & developing an automated gas sweetening
process.
We faced a challenge as it was in process on Zone 1, a
hazardous and explosive atmosphere which restricts
direct human intervention, time to time. It can cause
decreasing effect on efficiency and productivity. Our
challenges did not stop here, doing this process with
remote operations at different sites made us to think
of the complexity in it.
So, we started with automation of the equipment process so that it can be operated with
minimal human interference in a Hazardous Zone 1 Area. We designed an automation
system that could be completely monitored and controlled from a local station in a Zone 2
Area.
An IOT edge layer is also designed to be deployed in Zone 2 to enable supervisory control
& monitoring from a remote location, thanks to advancement in technologies and IoT
applications. These types of intelligent systems help to evaluate the data with historical
ones for references, also assuring security of data. Through this system we help our client
to analyse quantitative distinct levels in chemical processes and act accordingly. It helps
to increase efficiency and productivity with proper processing.
Well testing operations are normally done for a specific time period and testing has to be conducted in very remote locations. Coordinating various such deployments are always crucial in
managing operations of a company that is providing testing equipment in a pay per use model.
Each remote automated unit has to be evaluated, analysed, remotely manage – work, health,
and consumables. There is also a need for a supervised remote operational capability for such
equipments. Acquired information needs to be exchanged and can be transferred to the locations from automated systems. Application helps in accuracy and reducing the struggle
through the entire process.
Here, we at BRT designed an automated as well as remote operated system using the application of our product- Sequrops. This allows the client to operate equipments with minimal
human intervention along with increased efficiency and productivity with the help of a remotely
operated process. These types of automated remote operational requirements exist in other
industries too.
