Diseño y evaluación de una arquitectura para la red de comunicaciones que utiliza el sistema SCADA, para optimizar procesos y recursos en una empresa petrolera.

Abstract

The objective was to design and evaluate an architecture for the communications network used by the SCADA system, to optimize processes and resources in an oil company. It was started by carrying out a bibliographic study of the SCADA system to obtain optimal operating parameters, after which the design of a SCADA system was determined with an architecture that uses redundant systems (client-server + independent monitoring systems) combined with systems detection and recovery of failures allow to achieve a high degree of availability and guarantee monitoring. The elements that are going to be used for the implementation have compatibility with the existing equipment and in this way processes and resources in the company will be optimized. In view of the criticality of oil extraction in the country and the high risk of contingencies, it is concluded that economically the project to be implemented and operate through a SCADA automation control system redundant in the exploitation of oil is more profitable or in turn It produces less losses than a manual operation. This study should be applied to all fields that involve systems and devices for the control of production that are used in an oil services company, whether developed in internal projects or by third parties. The architecture proposed in this work applies both to new facilities and to facilities that are already in operation, and that is why it is necessary to carry it out.
