Project List


 Engineering Control System For Gas Wellhead Control panels
Client:
 AGIBA
 for Oil and Gas production
Description: Based on (Siemens WinCC, Siemens PLC S7-400 H/F redundant).

This was a control system utilizing the S7-400H/F to WinCC SCADA using GPRS Connection and local panel mounted
HMI to operate monitor, control, present, log, and print alarms, events, and trends of recorded process variables. These
are failsafe shutdown systems which have pneumatic/hydraulic/electric components; WHCPs can also be integrated
with PLC/ SCADA. WHCPs are standalone control systems as well as an interface between the plant control and the
wellhead safety system.WHCPs are used for monitoring, controlling (Remote/Local) and safe shutdown of Subsurface
Controlled Safety Valves (SCSSV), Surface Safety Valves (SSV), and other wellhead safety valves (Choke, ESD,
HIPPS) in oil & gas production fields to ensure safe operation of unattended wells/platforms.
My responsibilities:

 Programming Siemens S7-CFC, S7-STL for Wellhead control and editing the addressing to WinCC using Vbs and
SQl for reading and writing columns from Database server to WinCC for Visualization.
 Designing and implementation Visualization system using Siemens WinCC Scada System
 Pre-commissioning and commissioning team member for Siemens PLC.
Main technologies and languages used: Siemens (S7-412 F/FH, WinCC), (Visual Basic For scripting).

 Upgrade SCADA For Oil Telemetry System

Client:
 AGIBA
 for Oil and Gas production
 Description: This was a control system utilizing 300 RTU (Remote Terminal Units) to ABB SCADAVantage Scada
System .The system consists of a number of complexes, each comprising a central gathering platform having a PDP-
11 computer based telemetry master with remote terminal units (RTUs) in outlying unmanned platforms around the
central platform. The RTUs are solar powered and are linked to the master via FDM/FM/UHF/GPRS radio links.
Some RTUs are linked directly by a 4 wire communication cable. The central locations comprising the computer are
called nodes. Primary function of each node is to have a totally independent tele-supervisory and control system
gathering data from RTUs from remote well platforms and effecting control over some important functions. Type of
parameters monitored/controlled through RTU are (a) Analogue (Pressure, Temperature, Flow, Level), (b) Status
(High/low Pressure, Temperature, Level), (c) Integrator
My responsibilities:
 Programming ABB 500 Plc For Telemetry control and editing the addressing to SCADA using Vbs and SQl for
reading and Writing columns from Database server to SCADA for Visualization.
 Calibration, Installation Yokogawa Pressure Transmitters, Emerson RTDs.
 Pre-commissioning and commissioning team member for ABB PLC.
Main technologies used: ABB (ABB SCADAVantage™. ABB PLC AC 500. Router MRD-455), Yokogawa Pressure
Transmitters, Emerson RTD.
 vailability was required, a Server, Engineering station, and Operator station 
