OIL & GAS

Kuwait Oil Company Uses Emerson’s SCADA andWireless RTUs to Reduce Downtime and Improve
ProductionRESULTS
 Reduced manpower for day-to-day site visit by using smart remotemonitoring No field cables for instruments creates hassle-free safe installation
 Flexible RTU design with easy migration and movement from one
well to another

APPLICATION
Onshore Production - enhanced oil recovery by electrical submersible
pumps (ESP), wellhead RTU, and redundant SCADACUSTOMER
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC)

CHALLENGE
KOC had an existing SCADA system that monitored all the wells but
they were not providing reliable data or accurate information for theoperators to make decisions to optimize production.
During the well makeover for their ESP solution, there was significant
risk of potential downtime, which could lead to loss of production thatwould hurt their revenue. They also needed their manpower to travelto the well location to hook back the wells into production.

SOLUTION
Emerson alleviated Kuwait Oil company of their pains by providing areliable and proven wellhead solution using the ControlWave Micro,
Wireless RTU Interface, and an OpenEnterprise SCADA system. The
proposed design of the ControlWave Micro with wireless capabilities
gave them the ability to have ﬂexible I/O count that had advanced
diagnostics of field instruments.
The ControlWave Micro RTU auto-detects the WirelessHART
devices as they are added to the network. This did not requirea site survey anymore – reducing start-up time and minimizing
costs on trenching, conduit laying, and cable pulling. The network
enabled their wireless field devices to automatically find alternate
communication paths, avoiding obstacles so they had more
ﬂexibility during setup.
®

The redundant OpenEnterprise SCADA system at the control room
works well with minimum bandwidth consumption over KOC’s
existing WiMax networks. This was well-designed to analyze theproduction data and help them make intelligent decisions at remotelocations without any need to visit to site. The customer increased
their savings by eliminating daily site inspections – and the wirelesscommunication from the station to OpenEnterprise reduced thecable routing cost dramatically.
