SIMATIC ET 200M

Turgai-Petroleum, Canada –

Remote control for oil production

Requirements

Turgai-Petroleum AG with headquarters in Kysyl-Orda is a joint

venture between the Russian LUKOIL Overseas and the Cana-

dian Petro Kazakhstan. LUKOIL is one of the leading worldwide

corporations in the oil and gas sector and is mainly active in

the exploration and production of oil and gas as well as the

production and marketing of mineral oil products and petro-

chemicals. The capacity of their production plants in Russia

alone is 41.8 million tons of oil per annum. Petro Kazakhstan

is one of the 100 largest oil producers. The Canadian company

has specialized in oil-rich Kazakhstan, produces 150,000 bar-

rels per day, and operates a refinery in the Central Asian coun-

try.

Energotechservice GmbH with headquarters in Almaty, Sibe-

ria, was tasked with the data acquisition and remote control of

oil production. The focus here was on integration in the exist-

ing system and user-friendly features as well as their consis-

tent further development. Further requirements included im-

plementation of data transmission over wireless channels and

integration in the existing telemechanical system.

Solution

The automatic control system for the technological processes

of the oil and gas sector is based on a system for telemetric

data acquisition and remote control. For Turgai-Petroleum,

120 probes were optimized using automation.

Due to the environmental conditions, SIMATIC

ET 200M modules for use in hazardous areas were used. They

are of a particularly rugged and intrinsically-safe construction.

This I/O is based on the same principle as the S7 controllers, so

it interacts well with the SIMATIC S7-300 components used.

Benefits

Due to the modular structure of ET 200M, the application was

implemented with the smallest possible number of compo-

nents. The redundant structure and the ability to make chang-

es to the configuration during normal operation has increases

the availability of the plant significantly. Modules can now be

replaced during normal operation and downtimes are reduced

to a minimum. By using STEP 7, 50 to 70% of the engineering

costs and time could be saved. Overall, the stability of the pro-

cess and the productivity has significantly increased. Drives

can now be easily controlled, either remotely or locally as re-

quired.
