Siemens among the worlds leading electrical engineering and electronics companies:
With Centers of Competence, Regional Business Centers and local offices all over the world and especially in the cities where the decisions in Oil&Gas are made such as Houston, London, Oslo, Moscow, Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore we provide international project support.

Upstream
Midstream
Downstream
Oil
2.1 Upstream
Upstream (Transport & Storage) consists mainly of the following items: Exploration:
Exploration outlines how natural gas or crude oil is found, and how companies decide where to drill wells for it. Extraction
Extraction focuses on the drilling process, and how natural gas / crude oil is brought from its underground reservoirs to the surface. Production
Production discusses what happens once the well is drilled; including the processing of gas / oil once it is brought out from underground.
2.2 Midstream
Midstream, it consists mainly of the following items: Transport:
The transport outlines how the resource is transported from the wellhead and processing plant, using the extensive network of pipelines from country to country. Storage:
The Storage describes the storage of oil / gas, how it is accomplished, and why it is necessary.
2.3 Downstream
Downstream consists mainly of the following items: Processing / Refining
This item deals with all processes which are necessary to achieve the final or intermediate product to be sold on the market. E.g. refining of crude oil or conditioning of gas.
Distribution
The Distribution focuses on the delivery of the resource from the major pipelines to the end users, whoever they may be.
Marketing
Marketing discusses the role that the oil / gas marketers play in getting the resource from the wellhead to the end user.
open/close valve not reaching the defined end position. The SCADA operator's attention is drawn to that part of the system requiring attention by the alarm. In important cases, emails and text messages can be sent along with an alarm activation alerting managers along with the SCADA operator. Components of a SCADA system are: Multiple RTUs or outstations Main/Sub Control Center Communication infrastructure

RTU 2
The RTU can read digital status data or analogue measurement data, and send out digital commands or analogue setpoints.

4 Background information
To ensure that the station functions reliably, the automation system must acquire and evaluate numerous single information items even during normal operation. In the event of a fault, additional information is required to diagnose the problem quickly.

5 RTU Applications
The communication backbone (fibre optic cable) can transfer such as Operational Data (pressure, temperature, valve position) from the RTU Voice over IP Video Data to a Control Center. Voice and Video is directly connected to a switch on the backbone.
This solution can be used in cases where distributed processes have to be monitored and controlled, functions previously available at the higher control level are distributed or implemented on site, stringent dielectric strength and electromagnetic compatibility requirements must be met, a real-time-capable system is required, noise immunity is very important.
The System performs the following tasks: Remote indication Monitoring Safe Remote/local control Processing of measured and metered values
