ANDOC Onshore, BuHasa PI Interfaces UpgradeIn 2019, EMI was selected by Schneider Electric to perform a critical upgrade and migration of PI Interfaces at the BuHasa Field, a key upstream oil operation site in Abu Dhabi. The project’s primary objective was to enhance the reliability of data acquisition and overall system performance by upgrading existing PI Interfaces to the latest versions and deploying Matrikon OPC DA servers. Given the critical nature of the BuHasa Field operations, EMI carefully planned and executed the upgrade with minimal operational disruption. |
The scope included installing and configuring updated PI Interfaces, integrating Matrikon OPC DA servers to ensure secure and efficient data flow between field instrumentation and the PI System, and conducting rigorous Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) to validate system performance and readiness. Throughout the project, EMI coordinated closely with the client to ensure compatibility with existing PI System architecture and to maintain uninterrupted operations.
Comprehensive documentation was delivered at the conclusion of the project to facilitate future maintenance and support activities. The successful upgrade resulted in improved system stability, enhanced data acquisition reliability, and seamless integration with OPC servers, ultimately contributing to more robust operational control at the BuHasa Field.
