Several major oil and gas producers in Eastern Europe required a unified approach to automate the operation of remote power distribution units at their extraction sites. These facilities, often located in harsh and isolated environments, previously relied on individually configured control systems for each field, resulting in inefficient monitoring, maintenance, and data exchange.
Each extraction site had to be equipped with a new substation and data acquisition system capable of transmitting electrical parameters to corporate SCADA networks. However, the absence of a standardized control solution led to high deployment costs, longer commissioning times, and unreliable performance across dispersed assets.
To ensure compliance, reliability, and scalability, the operators needed a unified automation framework that could support centralized monitoring, minimize on-site maintenance, and enable real-time control of remote, unmanned facilities.
The enterprises adopted CENTO as part of a collaborative initiative between local electrical equipment manufacturers and automation partners to standardize dispatch and monitoring systems across newly supplied substations.
CENTO was selected for its ability to provide:
The result was a scalable, serially produced automation solution that could be deployed consistently across multiple oilfield power units with minimal customization, ensuring compatibility and uniformity across assets.
By implementing CENTO across eight geographically distributed oil production sites, the organizations achieved a significant improvement in operational efficiency and control.
Key results include:
The project created a foundation for reliable, scalable, and easily maintainable automation of distributed oilfield infrastructure, supporting safe, cost-efficient, and continuous energy operations even under challenging environmental conditions.
