Physical Structure • A MIS is an organized system which consists of

people, hardware, communication networks, data sources that
collects, transforms and distributes information in an organization •
It is a tool which helps mangers in making decisions by providing
regular flow of accurate information in an organization • The physical
components of an MIS include hardware, software, database,
personnel and procedures
2. 23. 1. Integrated Processing • It is achieved by designing several
related applications as a single system in order to simplify the
interconnection and reduce duplication of output. • All process
control systems are independent full-function systems and are
based on solutions that enable integration of these systems into the
single system
3. 24. In integrated process control system of an oil field comprises the
following levels of control: • Upper level – level of supervisory
monitoring and control. This level deals with acquisition, processing
and transfer of information related to operation of all field facilities
and supervisory control performed from the central operator room of
the field. Some functions of supervisory control are carried out from
the central (remote) office of the company. • Middle level – field
subsystems: production, formation pressure maintenance,
treatment, field oil piping, power supply. This level provides
visualization of information about the process flow and generation of
operating control commands from operator workstations located in
operator rooms of facilities (central oil gathering plant, pump
stations, gas-turbine power station). • Lower level – process
equipment. This level is designed for direct interaction with the
process by means of control stations and panels as well as local
control systems located in control points and equipment rooms in
close proximity to the process equipment.
4. 25. 2. Common Modules • Modularity concept • Module is a small set
of processing instructions in which perform one or small number of
functions • Information system modules are to be identified by
factoring the system • After modules are designed coded and tested,
logically integrated
