Chevron Pipe Line Company (CPL), headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (Chevron). Chevron Pipe Line Company
operates on its own behalf and for its affiliated companies, pipeline assets
that transport crude oil, refined petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas,
natural gas and chemicals within the United States. Volumes in the company's
network of approximately 10,800 miles of pipe reach nearly 2.2 million barrels
and 1.4 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas on a daily basis. Chevron Pipe
Line Company moves additional volumes through joint ventures with other
companies.
Chevron Pipe Line (CPL) recently decommissioned two Wonderware SCADA systems -
TENDS and Unocal. Each system includes several years of historical data that
must be archived to meet governmental & business requirements. Chevron's
objective is to convert and store these historical files for retrieval using
readily available desktop software.
SENSYS along with its Global Integration Partner INTECH Process Automation is
currently working to write a utility to extract data from two decommissioned
Wonderware InTouch and InSQL systems. A total of 7000 tags scanned every second
for a five year period must have an automated software service to aggregate
historical data stored and make the data available to users and for reporting to
the Department of Transportation.
The general scope of the project includes gathering of data from two separate
data bases including InTouch data from the TENDS System in the New Orleans, LA
area and InSQL data from the Unocal System in Texas. The data shall be available
for query and data filtering for either web reports. The data will be then
compiled in a Microsoft Excel format per guidelines and scope described in the
Chevron Pipe Line Company Legacy Wonderware Systems Historical Data Archive and
Retrieval.
The SENSYS solution has greatly reduced the time of Chevron and contract
personnel to manually extract, query and publish data reports. This operation
was generally taking 5 - 6 hours for each 24 hour period. With the ReportMAX by
SENSYS, reports can now be generated in a matter of minutes.
