About The Customer
LUKOIL, headquartered in Moscow, Russia, is a major, international, vertically-integrated oil and gas company, accounting for 2.1 percent of the global output of crude oil. It is the largest privately owned oil and gas company in the world by proven oil reserves and is the third largest privately owned oil and gas company by oil production. LUKOIL handles 16.3 percent of Russia’s crude oil production and 16.7 percent of the country’s crude oil refining. It is one of the biggest Russian oil business groups with $139 billion revenue and net income in excess of $11 billion. Its strong position is the fruit of 20 years’ work in expanding its reserve base and increasing its scale of business by seeking out and executing strategic transactions.
The Challenge
LUKOIL, a major international oil and gas company, was planning to build a new datacenter in its Moscow office. The company required an HMI/SCADA system that could provide maximum security and performance of datacenter utility systems while also ensuring high energy efficiency. The datacenter computer rooms were to include over 100 server racks, each designed with a capacity of 17kW of power. The company also required 24/7 control capability for its utility systems. LUKOIL wanted an HMI/SCADA system that could provide estimates for the datacenter rooms’ technological and climatic metrics and could quickly acquire status information for all nodes of power and cooling/air conditioning systems. As the planned datacenter was to include approximately 5,000 data points, LUKOIL sought an HMI/SCADA solution that easily centralizes functional mode management for utility systems.
The Solution
LUKOIL, working with NVision Group, selected ICONICS GENESIS64™ HMI/SCADA software, including its GraphWorX™64 data visualization tool; Workbench centralized configuration environment; GridWorX™64 real-time spreadsheet visualization/control tool; AlarmWorX™64 distributed, enterprise-wide alarm management system; and TrendWorX™64 plant-wide data collection, logging, charting and analysis solution. LUKOIL also uses ICONICS WebHMI™ Web-based real-time automation software along with GENESIS64’s publishing wizard. The companies have designed controls and interfaces using existing component templates found within GraphWorX64, as well as components developed especially for this project. Due to the wide graphic and functional abilities of GENESIS64, users now can process high-quality vector images of infrastructure elements, import data from connected databases into easy-to-understand table views, build customized historical trends, download reports for certain periods and systems, and analyze different data.

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
Case Study
Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
