Ignition SCADA Solution for Offshore BOP System
Ignition SCADA Solution for Offshore BOP System
Client:
International oilfield services company
Location:
Texas
Project summary:
Audubon was contracted by an international oilfield services company to develop a fully custom, web-based application for monitoring and logging the performance of an offshore blowout preventer (BOP) system. Application requirements included tracking and displaying critical data points related to BOP valve and device functionality, operational history, alarms, events, and system status, while securely archiving both analog and digital data for review.
As an Inductive Automation Gold Certified Integrator, Audubon’s automation team created a robust and maintainable supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) solution utilizing the Ignition Perspective® platform. The function logger application is compatible with various operating systems and supports multiple communication protocols, facilitating seamless data exchange and integration with existing systems.
The browser-based application also features advanced, customizable reporting capabilities to generate insights into BOP system status and data trends. The reports support the facility’s operational teams by offering real-time and historical data, simplifying key decisions about maintenance, reliability, and proactive care—and ultimately extending the BOP system’s lifespan and enhancing overall safety.
