Automation
upgrades underway at two EOR
sites
BDP Inc. is
currently participating in
automation upgrades at two Enhanced
Oil Recovery (EOR)
sites. The automation
project underway in west Texas
includes PLC and field instrument
upgrades for surface facilities
across the oil field. The
automation project affects
multiple sites including tank
batteries for oil recovery, gas
laterals to isolate CO2 and NGL
gases, and water injection
stations to handle water
recovered with the oil
production. The automation
upgrade at each site includes a
new electrical building, new UPS
equipment, a new PLC to
replace existing PLCs and RTUs,
new field instruments to replace
both electronic and pneumatic
devices that will be installed
using new cable tray and new
field wiring. The
individual PLCs at each site will
be integrated using a radio
network, and remotely monitored
by the client’s SCADA system
for overall control of wells and
surface facilities. The BDP
team is providing detail
instrument and electrical
designs, equipment procurement
services, system programming,
technical support to the
installation subcontractor, and
commissioning services for the
new PLC systems.
The BDP team is also
providing engineering services to
the Main Automation Contractor
(MAC) at an EOR site in western
Colorado. The legacy
control system will be migrated
to the latest DCS architecture
offered by the MAC. The
safety functions in the legacy
control system will be segregated
and moved to dedicated safety
controllers. The process
control strategies will be
migrated to new DCS controllers
while re-using existing IO cards
wherever practical. The
multiple control rooms will be
integrated using a new fiber
Ethernet network with new
operating consoles that provide a
view to the entire
facility. The DCS upgrade
project includes distributed
control panels for the three
compression trains and two NGL
trains located in the CO2
Recovery Plant at this oil
production unit.
BDP Inc.
acknowledges the opportunity to
provide control system services
for these projects and recognizes
the confidence expressed by our
clients. We look forward to
working closely with both the
operating companies and the
various contractors to
successfully complete these
projects. Contact BDP Inc. for more
information on these projects or
similar control system services
and process control improvements
to enhance your plant operations
today.
