delivers crude oil to refineries, process natural gas to the point where it can
be distributed by pipeline, sell LPG, Sulphur and other by-products. The
Government of Pakistan has a 12.5% of its holding in the company. The Company is

OGDCL production facility at Uch faced problems on one of their most critical
site related to upgrading their existing Automation Software. Upgrading the traditional
HMI to a newer version proved out to be a hassle and in doing that, they faced
critical issues in the running of the HMI. Whereas the decision to move to a different software
vendor was obvious, OGDCL needed a solution that would take less than a month to
develop and less than three days to deploy. With a maintenance shutdown planned
in a fornight's time, the project was awarded to SENSYS' IntelliMAX.
With the power of concurrent engineering, and MAXObjects, the entire project was
developed from in an object oriented manner. Five engineers worked concurrently
on the project, delivering the entire engineered application in under two weeks.
75% reduced engineering time than it had taken for the previous HMI application
to develop.
The second challenge was to deploy the project within the three day maintenance
shutdown. With the New Approach to architecture of IntelliMAX, the entire deployment
at the remote facility took less than two days to complete. IntelliMAX was connected to multiple field RTUs via Modbus and
Allen Bradley PLC providing visualization, reporting, historization and other
benefits like remote availability of real-time data from the Uch Oil & Gas field
to their corporate office. On time and in
budget!
IntelliMAX helped OGDCL improve their process by providing real-time data for
downtime analysis, alarms and trending for process streamlining and reporting
for plant efficiency remotely to their corporate office.
“Using IntelliMAX our engineering team has access to plant floor data any time any
where.
The most amazing part of the solution is that it took the project engineering
team less than two weeks to do in IntelliMAX what they tool over
three months to
accomplish in the previous solution“
