Apache SCADA Upgrade

2003 - ongoing
Upgrade of SCADA System, RTU's, and replacement of end devices / radios etc.
SCADAPack RTU's, ADROIT SCADA Host, Freewave Radio Communications
Tartan Engineering Ltd provided a scope of work and bid document, to allow Apache to bid for the supply of equipment to replace existing flow measurement, RTU's and SCADA system on 81 meter sites in the Hatton Area, a large shallow gas field. Upon selection of a hardware vendor, Tartan was hired to do the design, programming and project management of the $830K project. The project was successfully completed in 4 months on budget. Apache then hired Tartan to implement similar projects in other fields in Western Canada: Nevis Coal Bed Methane $450K; Consort Tight Viking Gas 2003 wells $600K; Hatton Phase 2 SCADA for $2,200K, which added additional meters and connected call out systems, compressor panels, fire and gas detection and shut down systems to the SCADA infrastructure. Production information is provided real-time in the Field and on the Web for Apache employees, updated every 10 minutes. Tartan has also developed cost estimates for additional Apache locations: Hawkeye area SCADA $2,800K, Brownfield area $1,800K, Consort Tight Viking Gas 2002 wells $600K, replace existing SCADA at Willesden Green $500K. These projects are in various stages of approval.

Grass Roots SCADA System
CIMREX OPERATOR INTERFACE, SCADA Pack RTU's, Delta-V SCADA Host, MDS Licensed.
Tartan completed the design, configuration and commissioning of an extensive SCADA System for a remote gas field in North Eastern British Columbia. Tartan was responsible for the project management, wellsite and facility design, RTU configuration, communications, and commissioning. Wellsite control, gas and liquid metering were performed by ScadaPack RTU's. Compressor control was performed by a REMVue 500 controller, with ability to remote start and control the compressor via the SCADA system. Each RTU is equipped with a local data display. The host was a Delta V HOST configured by others. The Delta V system communicates via licensed radios to these RTUs. In addition, the Delta V interfaces with a corporate production accounting system.

Contra Costa Water District SCADA Upgrade Project

System Replacement
Modicon PLC's, SCADAPack RTU's, Neles OASys SCADA Host
Work included replacement of 72 existing RTU's with new RTU's. These RTU panels incorporated new MDS radios which replaced
( in some cases new ) the existing system. The RTU's communicate with an OASys Host via a point to point and point to multipoint system. Tartan provided a complete design and drawing package for the system. Tartan also provided all on site construction management and start-up and commissioning assistance for the RTU's. Tartan was responsible for electrical construction, which was sub-contracted to a local California electrical contractor.

Muglad Oil Pipeline

Grass Roots
Bailey Freelance 2000 DCS & Moore Quadlog Safety PLC x 6 pump stations, 2 block valve sites, marine terminal
The Muglad Oil Basin SCADA Project consists of a Central Treating Facility and Gathering System feeding into a 28" Oil Pipeline System. The 1500-km Pipeline System consists of 6 Pumping Stations c/w power generation, 2 River Crossing Block Valve Sites, and 2 Refinery Off-Takes terminating in a Marine Terminal. Tartan was awarded the Station Control Systems at all 6 Pumping Stations and the 2 Block Valve Sites. Tartan was also awarded the Safety System contract for all 6 Pump Stations and the Marine Terminal. The scope of supply was for a turn-key package that included: all engineering design, programming/configuration, drawings, equipment (control panels, consoles, etc.), training, installation supervision, commissioning, acceptance testing, and integration of the pump station controllers; and the Safety System for the pipeline and the marine terminal. The control systems are interfaced to SCADA via a redundant fiber optic network with Neles Automation's OaSys SCADA System. Scope included commissioning of the entire pipeline system, Site Acceptance Testing at all facilities, as-building and final documentation.
