’s largest integrated oil and gas company,

(Oil & Natural Gas Corporation).

The new system will monitor, control and manage vital information from ONGC’s production and drilling facilities, linking oil basins, processing plants, forward base and other assets to the corporate data centre. It is designed to support the company’s geographically-dispersed production and drilling facilities, both onshore and offshore, with “anytime-anywhere” data access to enable faster decision-making and response.

The turnkey ABB project, set for completion by the end of 2007, encompasses site survey, system design, engineering, supply, installation and commissioning of an integrated three-tier SCADA system, and includes a six-year annual maintenance contract.

Expected project benefits include reduction in the time and cost for data integration, enhanced reliability and scalability, monitoring and control of assets across multiple locations and improved efficiency of oil exploration.
