The World Market for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems in Gas & Oil Pipeline Operations and Gas Distribution Utilities: 2006-2007
Publication Date: June, 2006
A multivolume study of the North American and international
markets for supervisory control and data acquisition systems and
pipeline management systems among pipeline operations and gas
distribution utilities
Available from
In recent years the publisher of this report has conducted
several research programs providing a clear view of the
international market for supervisory control and data acquisition
(SCADA) systems among electric, water and gas utilities, and gas
and oil pipeline companies
This new series will provide an in-depth appraisal of the
central and remote site hardware, applications software, and
communications services that oil and gas pipeline operations and
gas distribution utilities will be requesting during their next
round of procurements for SCADA systems.
The research study will result in a comprehensive and
informative series of reports on control systems usage patterns
and plans of pipeline operations and gas distribution utilities
worldwide. The research program will assess the market sizes and
will contain projections on a world-region basis, for the next
several years. A separate report profiling more than 20
suppliers of oil/gas pipeline SCADA-related systems, software and
services will also be available.
Sample Survey Topics
- Ranking of Vendor Performance in Various "Best in Class"
Categories
- Current SCADA System Vendors and Those to be Considered for
Future Procurements
- Interest in Knowledge-Based Modeling and Decision Management
Techniques Applied to Traditional SCADA Solutions
- Operation of Central Site Control Center and/or Regional
Control Centers
- Dependency Level of Pipelines on SCADA Operations
- Choices of Open Systems Acceptable for Master Stations and in
the Field
- Current and Planned Use of Gas-Driven and/or Electricity -
Driven Compressors
- Approaches for Reducing Vulnerability on Operational Pipeline
SCADA systems
Research Methodology
The field survey work is being conducted using a variety of
primary research methods, including personal interviews, mail and
e-mail surveys, and follow-up fax and telephone interviews.
The publisher has established business partner centers in
Argentina, Canada, Russia, England, and The Netherlands. This
development provides an ideal opportunity to conduct a third
global research program for the oil and gas pipeline business.
Several recent computer and communications technology
developments, the changing structure of the oil and gas pipeline
industry throughout the world, the arrival of new market
participants, and growth in the use of modern computer-based
supervisory control and data acquisition systems in the worldwide
pipeline industry pointed to the need for such an international
study.
Key Issues Addressed in the Study Series
- Current use of supervisory control and data acquisition
systems.
- Plans to upgrade/replace or install new SCADA systems by
year-end 2007.
- Budget considerations and contract award dates.
- Approximate number of RTUs/PLCs currently installed and
planned for installation in pipeline SCADA systems, as well as
protocol and communications requirements.
- Specific functions and applications now being performed on
SCADA systems, and plans for additional applications.
- Participation with ongoing cyber security initiatives, such
as FIRST, PSIC and from AGA/GTI, API & IEC.
- Use of automatic blocking valves in the event of pipeline
leak or rupture.
