Project Description:
Control Systems Upgrades, Commissioning and DCS Communications / Control Systems rectification.
Client: Siemens Energy
Multiple Oil and Gas Partners - Global
Control System Upgrades
IPS has extensive experience providing comprehensive control system engineering for gas turbines and compressors in the oil and gas industry. In collaboration with Siemens Energy, IPS has successfully delivered tailored solutions for clients at the Culzean, Lukoil, Banagas, Zohr, Parsian, TAP, Ghana, Salah, Uchkir, Zubair, Nawara, and Botas sites. These projects utilized Siemens PCS 7 across multiple versions, with a strong emphasis on rigorous testing across all units. IPS also implemented advanced control solutions, including Modbus, CCC Controllers, anti-surge controls, gensets, and Bentley Nevada systems, ensuring reliable performance and streamlined control architecture.
Beyond individual unit control, IPS has seamlessly integrated Bentley Nevada rack software configurations for turbine control into existing systems for Siemens Energy. This integration enabled precise control, enhanced turbine performance, and reliable data communication with centralized systems, ultimately improving operational efficiency and optimizing control system performance.
Onsite Commissioning
IPS has provided global onsite commissioning and servicing for numerous oil and gas sites, working directly with Siemens Energy. The services include configuring and implementing control system software and hardware for the UCP, rectifying code errors, setting up networks, performing IO verification, establishing Modbus communication, and delivering both onsite and remote support.
Notably, IPS has commissioned various VSDs, Nidec Motors, SGT Turbines, compressors, and pumps, integrated with CCC controllers, at sites such as Culzean, Jelenlow, Hout, Lukoil, Zohr, TAP, Albania, Ghana, PTT, Nawara, Zcina, Banagas, Algeria, Liwa, BBS, TG, Botas, and Burgas. These efforts have ensured efficient system start-ups with minimal disruption and provided reliable long-term operational performance, including ongoing support after project completion.
DCS Communications and Control Systems Rectification
IPS has a proven track record of resolving code errors and addressing issues with DCS communication systems for Siemens Energy clients in the oil and gas industry. Leveraging our software engineering expertise, we have improved system functionality, resolved existing issues, and ensured reliable long-term operations. This focused technical support has delivered enhanced operational efficiency and increased system uptime for our clients.
