In October 2016, LUKOIL commenced commercial operation of the Pyakyakhinskoye oil and gas condensate field. A distinctive feature of this production facility is that the Infrastructure Control Center of the Pyakyakhinskoye oil and gas condensate field has an automated process control system. The concept of the Infrastructure Control Center offered by the Company provides for the integrated retrieval of information from the process sites at the Pyakyakhinskoye field, thedisplay of process parameters from block valve stations on the main gas pipeline between the Vankorskoye field and the GIS Yamburg, and the retrieval of process parameters from the Khalmerpayutinskoye gas condensate field and the Yuzhno-Messoyakhskoye gas condensate field which are currently under construction. In the future, process data from the Infrastructure Control Center of the Pyakyakhinskoye field will be integrated using web server facilities into the Unified Data Processing and Storage System located at the Central Operations Control Department of LUKOIL-Western Siberia in Kogalym.
Avilex LLC and Nefteavtomatika JSC supplied the equipment and completed construction, installation and commissioning works for the Infrastructure Control Center of the Pyakyakhinskoye field.
A large-screen display was built using projection modules from Mitsubishi Electric, the world’s leading manufacturer of professional display equipment for operations control centers intended for different purposes who has successfully proven its competence in implementing projects with the highest criticality ratings.
The screen was chosen based on the resolution required for the display of necessary content and ergonomic parameters, such as the distance to operator workstations, optimal viewing angles, and the height of symbols to be displayed.
A solution using 14 (7х2) Mitsubishi 60НЕF120 projection modules with front maintenance and a screen diagonal of 60 inches was chosen based on project evaluations. The video screen has an overall resolution of 13,440 x 2,160 pixels and the wall size is 9,334 x 1,500 mm.
Image is generated by a high-performance Datapath graphic controller, which creates image with a resolution equal to the overall resolution of the video wall from several multi-channel graphic stations provided with a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, and operator workstations of different automation and monitoring systems.
Display modes and the layout of graphic windows on the video wall are managed using Mitsubishi Electric’s D-Wall software. Remote touch screen consoles for two workstations are installed in the hall to provide on-line retrieval of saved graphic layouts.
The use of Mitsubishi Electric equipment ensures the top quality and level of detail of the image, conformance to the toughest ergonomic requirements, continuous 24/7 operation, and a high level of reliability, resilience and maintainability combined with a minimum total cost of ownership.
The availability of the large-screen display in the Infrastructure Control Center allows for analyzing all aspects of situations and for making facility management-related decisions involving not only operating and dispatching staff, but also managers of the on-duty shift and business units, various experts and specialists.
