In 2008, shortly after a major, international engineering
and procurement company set off to standardize the subsea process control
environment, ENGlobal’s Subsea Controls and Integration (SCI) group was formed
and contracted to develop the concept of standardization further. Working
together, these two companies outlined a long-standing vision and
commercialization plan for a Universal Master Control Station (UMCS) that can
transmit to virtually any subsea equipment, irrespective of the supplier.
Subsea Controls and Integration Offerings
ENGlobal’s Universal Master Control Station (UMCS) is a
pre-engineered solution that uses off-the-shelf hardware and software to
interface subsea devices with topside systems and components. The UMCS makes
use of patented technology that streamlines the configuration and
implementation of a Master Control Station for a Greenfield or Brownfield
development. Either the user interface and database management tools
automatically fill in the controller logic from the object assignment list or
the UMCS provides a wide-ranging set of pre-designed topside and subsea device
objects for the user to “drag-and-drop” to form a system. The UMCS’
standardized system results in a striking decrease in human error; large
savings in effort and cost; and shortened delivery times.
ENGlobal’s SCI group also offers a software-based
Installation Workover Control System (IWOCS) that is developed around the same
patented technology as the UMCS. The system, which can be used in conjunction
with any IWOCS System provider, employs an open architecture communication
interface which allows the unit to interface to any subsea vendor’s equipment.
It also includes customizable graphic screens as well as interlocking and
shutdown sequences.
Over the years, the SCI team has also focused its attention
on Advanced Object Configurations and Databases. Team members have developed
tools that rapidly develop, configure and implement database management
solutions for any subsea control and integration application. These tools,
which are not dependent on vendor handware, offer the added bonus of time and
cost savings.
In the seven years since its formation, ENGlobal’s SCI group
has been assuredly delivering process automation designs, engineering services
and equipment that facilitate the successful integration of communication
protocols between subsea devices and topside production facilities.
