Automation Solutions for Modern Oil & Gas Operations
Oil and gas automation encompasses the technologies, systems, and processes that enable remote monitoring, automated control, and data acquisition across production facilities. In the Texas and New Mexico oil fields, effective automation is critical for operational efficiency, cost reduction, and safety improvement. By employing advanced technologies, operators can streamline workflows and significantly reduce manual labor, thereby increasing productivity and minimizing human error. Furthermore, it allows for better resource management, which is essential in today’s competitive market where resource optimization can lead to substantial savings.
RTU & Control Systems
Remote Terminal Units are field-deployed controllers that interface with sensors, meters, and control devices at production sites. They collect analog and digital inputs, execute control logic, communicate data to SCADA systems, and control outputs based on programmed logic.
Flow Computer (EFM)
Flow computers combine measurement, calculation, and control functions specifically for gas and liquid measurement applications. Modern EFM’s perform AGA and API calculations, log measurement data, control sampling systems, interface with SCADA systems, and provide custody transfer documentation.
Valve Control
Control valves in the oil and gas industry regulate flow by adjusting the flow passage to maintain smooth, safe operations. Gas control valves are particularly critical for managing natural gas flow in applications like injection gas metering. By integrating flow computers with flow transmitters, operators can monitor real-time flow rates and program control valves to maintain precise setpoints—ensuring accurate measurement and optimal system performance.
