Within the maintenance and reliability stream of the Emerson Exchange EMEA 2024 conference in Düsseldorf, Yazeed Otayf, control and instrumentation engineer at Saudi Aramco explained how they have optimized the control of pressure reducing stations to maximize the availability of these critical remote facilities.
Saudi Aramco has built a comprehensive oil and gas infrastructure in the Kingdom that ensures timely and efficient product delivery to its customers. The mission of its pipelines department is to maximize safety and efficiency of operations. Gas pressure reducing stations and valve stations are an integral part of the pipeline system. Redundant stations are used to reduce the pressure to pre-determined set points. The stations are remotely controlled from the operations coordination center (OCC) or locally through a supervisory computer.
