Insight Automation, Inc has finished the conversion of the ConocoPhillips Panhandle system to System Platform. This system was three InTouch Applications that were developed individually and had outgrown the capabilities of the InTouch platform. By using Wonderware's System Platform we were able to combine these three systems into one system that was uniform in design. This will now make it easier for ConocoPhillips to maintain this system, and it will make it easier for Operators and Engineers to use.

With this upgrade, ConocoPhillips now has one of the most state of the art SCADA systems to go along with their state of the art field automation systems.

The Noble Energy System Platform project in Platteville Colorado continues to grow, setting new records for size. To date this system now supports over 2000 field automation devices and is 1,000,000 tags in size. The Wonderware System Platform design was selected in order to be able to support the continued growth of the Wattenberg field. In conjunction to System Platform, ICE is being used as the Communications Server since it has the necessary protocol support to handle all of the devices and features needed to see this project to completion.

The design of the Wattenberg system has been engineered to provide standardization in the process of adding new facilities. This enables Noble to quickly add new facilities to the System Platform without downtime, and to assure that each newly added location is accurate.

The Wattenberg system provides automation for the Wattenberg and Piceance fields in Colorado, and Lysite field in Wyoming. In addition to this IAI has been working on for Noble Energy in Yuma, Colorado, designing and installing another System Platform system for this location. Yuma had been a CygNet system that performed well, but as Noble grew, the System Platform system, in conjunction with the Insight Communications Engine (ICE) provides them much more capability, and provides them with standardization with the Wattenberg system.

Insight Automation, Inc. (IAI) with our sister company Texsight Automation, will be opening a new office in Borger, Texas in January of 2008. Texsight was formed in late 2008 as a support company to IAI and Insight Technical Services, Inc. (ITSI), providing field level technical support for ITSI automation hardware, as well as support for other field automation equipment.

Insight Automation, Inc has recently trained three more of our programmers on the Wonderware System Platform software. This adds to our other trained programming staff, positioning IAI to be able to handle all of your Wonderware based needs, from InTouch, to System Platform, to Industrial SQL (Wonderware Historian). IAI has been providing Wonderware based SCADA solutions to the Oil and Gas Industry since the early 1990's making it one of the most experienced companies in this industry providing Wonderware based solutions.

Insight Automation, Inc. in conjunction with Insight Technical Services, Inc. (ITSI) has developed a Custom PLC based Field Automation product line based on the SCADAPack32 PLC. ITSI has developed a number of different automation panels designed to provide intelligent automation, control, and alarming to any field automation need. Whether it's Compressor Automation, Tank Battery Alarming and Monitoring, Wellhead Measurement and Control, or any other Oil and Gas production facility. Our PACK products are off the shelf and ready for installation in your field. We can also provide custom designs for any unique installation that you may have.

Alarm-PACK: Alarm-Pack is an Alarm Monitoring box that can be installed on any facility, from a field office to a wellhead location. Any facility that you need to monitor intrusion, or facility warning alarms, that need to be reported back to a central SCADA system, is what the Alarm-Pack is designed to handle.

Battery-PACK: Battery-Pack is a Monitoring and Control box that can be installed on any size Tank Battery facility. It is designed to bring in tank level data, alarms, flows, and other information from the Tank Battery. The Battery-Pack has been designed to interface to production wells that flow the Tank Battery to provide automated control to the wellhead. Designed to meet SPCC requirements, the Battery-Pack can help you keep a 24 hour watch on your Tanks.

Compressor-PACK: The COMPRESSOR-Pack is an affordable self contained panel that provides a local Operator Touch Panel, and supports Modbus Protocol for interfacing to your SCADA System. Since the COMPRESSOR-Pack is based on the SCADAPack32 PLC it can also provide gas measurement at the compressor location for fuel gas and delivery flow.

Well-PACK: The WELL-Pack is an affordable self contained panel that provides a local Operator Touch Panel, and supports Modbus Protocol for interfacing to your SCADA System. The WELL-Pack is based on the SCADAPack32 PLC and provides custody transfer gas measurement at the wellhead, as well as valve control, separator control and monitoring, and wellhead pump control.

All of these PACK products are designed to Integrate into CygNet and Wonderware based SCADA systems easily. We have developed the database templates and GUI screens and can help you bring the information and controls from these devices into your SCADA System easily and quickly.

We are just beginning our 2010 trade show season. We look forward to seeing you at one of the following future shows. Thank you to everyone who has stopped by to visit us at our booth this year.
