Business Drivers for Growth in Remote Operations

Management Market

• Plant operations are becoming more

geographically dispersed

• Resources are being found in

increasingly hard to reach and

hazardous areas

• Drive to subsea production

• Effort to get people out of harm’s way

and reduce personnel requirements :

“Lights Out” operation

• Need to transport resources over

greater distances

• “…a new generation of mega pipelines

is being built to bring massive amounts

of natural gas from some of the most

remote regions of the world to many of

the most densely populated centers of

commerce and industry. “ – Forbes

Magazine

The Business Challenges

• Traditional approach does not work

• Move from steady state to dynamic

environment

• Dynamically changing supply and

demand

• Tighter production specifications

• Increased regulatory pressure

• Human resources challenge:

Increasingly challenging to send

operators to check remote service

areas

• Integration of wireless technology

• Increased focus on cyber security

Upstream Capital and Operating Costs Rising

• Need to reduce capital and

operational costs

• According to IHS/CERA, “The rising

costs of both building and operating

upstream oil and gas facilities

continued to increase in the past six

months

• “Both cost indexes registered their

largest increases since the Great

Recession during the Q3 2010-Q1

2011 period.”

• “Costs for construction labor and

engineering and project management

posted strong gains, 9 percent and 6

percent, respectively. “

• Users are building ever larger

installations. The engineering and

customization problem is magnified.

End User Requirements

• Users need a real time view into

what’s happening in widely

dispersed remote assets

• Users need to know the state of the

assets as well as the state of the

process

• Process must keep running safely

in the event of loss of

communication with remote

assets/process

• Solution must provide high level of

both physical and cyber security

• A lot of complex equipment. Need to

link in people that understand this

equipment in a secure fashion

around the world

• Faster time to startup

• Reduced operational costs

8November 2011


The Old Remote Operations Management Model

• Systems collect historical data

• End users analyze the data using their tools and their intellect

• End user make decisions about the future based on their conclusions and historical data

• Steady state environment

• “Coordination comes from a central location in a rigid, hierarchical fashion”: ARC Advisory

Group

• Hard wired

• Large degree of customization is often the case

• Run to failure

Introducing FOUNDATION for Remote Operations

Management

• Provides a wireless and wired infrastructure for remote assets and applications, all

within FOUNDATION fieldbus

• Integrates Wired Infrastructure, Remote I/O, ISA100.11a and WirelessHART®

• Incorporate remote operations data into FOUNDATION Fieldbus infrastructure for data

management with direct access to device diagnostics

• FOUNDATION for ROM has the potential to transform remote operations, providing

greater reliability and reduced costs.

Our Future Direction: Helping Users

Realize the Benefits

15November 2011


Seeing Your Process in High Definition

• Diagnostic Data from FOUNDATION

Fieldbus Devices is Miles Ahead of

Other Technologies

• Incorporation of NAMUR NE 107

Diagnostics

• Transmission of multiple process

variables

• User layer!

• Physical layer diagnostics

• Distinguishing Device Problems from

Process Problems

16November 2011


Managing Information

• You know you are getting a true

measurement, no digital to analog

conversion

• Persistent data storage: audit trail and

reporting

• Data is time-stamped

• FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices can

indicate data quality -- whether signals

communicating setpoints, PVs, etc.

have good, bad or uncertain quality.

• Structured data and data quality

means improved handling of failures

when one does happen.

• Failure is alarmed, handled by control

algorithm

A Single Environment for Information in Context & Data

Quality

18November 2011


Information Provided in Context

• Allows data to be managed and

placed in context. Publish

subscribe means that you only

get the data you need when you

need it.

• Easier traceability and

regulatory compliance.

• Seamless connectivity to the

operations management layer

and enterprise layer.

Potential Market

• The worldwide market for SCADA rebounded

in 2010 after weathering the effects of the

global economic crisis.

• SCADA market is growing faster than overall

process automation market.

• As demand for oil recovers and funding is

freed up, project activity can be expected to

return to robust levels in coming years,

according ARC Advisory Group.

• Growth factors include the continuing

worldwide demand for additional energy

from carbon-based fuels, the shifting of

exploration and production locations to

more remote and hostile environments, and

end user requirements to link SCADA to

information technology and business

systems.

• Frost and Sullivan estimates global SCADA

market to be around $4.5 billion for all

industries
