When Aberdeen Control was asked to create a new design for a control cabinet, to remotely control a diesel engine driven pump on an oil rig, it proposed using a Bosch Rexroth PLC-based control system.

While drilling into the sea bed, the bore hole may pass through several different strata, each layer having its own particular characteristics. If the well is not cemented correctly, then the contents of the various layers can mix and cause problems with the well and result in expensive downtime.
