Phillips 66 Opts for Pipeline Control Center Operations Pilot

摘要

Phillips 66 has selected Crux OCM, a system of robotic industrial process automation (RIPA), for an oil and gas operations pilot program. The program will incorporate the company's pipeBOT, which requires fewer manual commands for control room operations. The equipment is designed to target flow rates faster through intelligent auto- mation, which curbs control room operator fatigue and enables control room operators to perform more essential, higher-level functions, while ensuring safety and performance. These improvements may reach target flow rates up to 40% faster, improve equipment reliability and reduce pressure cycle fatigue.
