Transportation pipelines and storage:

Pipelines are the safest, most reliable and cost-effective way of transporting large volumes of oil and gas. Pipeline systems link typically remote production fields to urban centres and/or terminals and ports for export. As the main energy highways for oil and natural gas, pipelines and their associated storage, pumping, compression and monitoring facilities represent a key opportunity for Schneider Electric worldwide. Key performance indicators for pipelines operators include:
I Batch integrity I Batch quality I Capacity I Availability I Reliability I Change order capacity

To maximize these parameters, pipeline operators require a complex network of automation, control and electrical distribution products integrated in an overall solution that is usually developed by systems integrators. This presents an excellent opportunity for Schneider Electric, as these systems integrators rely on Schneider Electrics technical expertise in providing leading-edge control and automation systems. More than 60 kinds of unprocessed and refined petroleum move through pipelines. A pipeline network is made up of different line sizes and types that can be grouped into two categories:
I Gathering lines I Transportation lines

Typically, the smallest diameter pipelines lead out of production fields and into end-user homes (in the case of natural gas). The largest diameter pipelines are the main transmission pipelines between source fields and urban areas.

Gathering lines
Flow and gathering lines move crude oil and natural gas from the wellhead over short distances to oil batteries (field facilities for initial processing) and natural gas processing facilities where impurities are removed and natural gas is separated into various products. Oil and gas producers operate flowlines (over approximately five miles) from pumping to central storage locations. Flow line diameters range from 60.3 mm to 114.3 mm (2 in. to 4 in.). Gathering lines vary in size from 114.3 mm to 323.9 mm (4 in. to 12 in.). Feeder lines move crude oil and natural gas products from batteries, gas processing facilities and storage tanks in the field to the long-distance haulers of the pipeline industry, the transmission pipelines. Feeder pipelines diameters measure between 168.3 mm to 508 mm (6 in. to 20 in.).

Application market dynamics are tied closely to extraction expenditure cycles. Gathering lines represent approximately five percent of total segment expenditures.

Transportation lines
Transportation or transmission lines are the main energy highways. They connect crude oil and natural gas producers with refineries, processing plants and distribution centers. Natural gas and crude oil transmission lines are between 508 mm to 1219 mm (20 in. to 48 in.) in diameter. Petroleum product pipelines range in sizes from 168 mm to 324 mm (6 in. to 12 in.). Distribution lines are operated by local distribution companies, cooperatives and in some cases, governments. Natural gas is moved along distribution pipelines to homes, businesses and some industries. Sizes of these lines can be as large as 914.4 mm (36 in.). Most, however, are much smaller, ranging between 21.3 mm and 168.3 mm (1/2 in. and 6 in.).

From wellhead to custody transfer

Pipeline process flow

From wellhead to pipeline: oil Crude oil is pumped through flowlines and gathering lines from producing wells to an oil battery for initial processing. The main component of a battery is one or more tanks where basic sediment and water sink to the bottom and natural gas bubbles off the top. Clean oil collects in the middle. The associated gas or solution gas from this process is directed to gas processing plants, if sufficient quantities make this economically viable. Otherwise, it is flared or incinerated.
Oil derrick

From wellhead to pipeline: natural gas An in-field natural gas production site includes facilities to measure the gas, and remove water, oil, sulfur and other impurities. After initial processing, the gas flows into gathering pipelines that transport the gas to a transmission pipeline or another processing plant. Here, natural gas liquids and other impurities are separated from the methane (the main component of natural gas).

The natural gas liquids such as propane, butane, ethane and condensates are typically piped to other facilities:
I Condensates are piped to heavy oil producers to be used as diluent to promote

flow of heavy oils through a pipeline.

I Propane is piped to point-of-sale marketers. I Other natural gas liquids are piped to petrochemical plants for use in the manufacture of plastics, for example.

From extraction to dilution: bitumen and heavy oil

Offshore oil platform

Bitumen and some heavy oils are too viscous to flow through pipelines, so diluents are added to change the viscosity. Condensates derived from natural gas separation are a traditional diluent, but light crude oil can also serve in this role. In the case of Syncrude Canada Ltd., bitumen is refined into a synthetic crude oil (containing no residue or very heavy components) directly at its site in Northern Alberta and then piped to southern markets (see www.syncrude.com for more information). Storage Petroleum storage facilities are located throughout pipeline systems at:
I Batteries, I Upstream pipeline hubs (culmination points of gathering pipeline systems), and I Petrochemical plants and refineries where various petroleum products are made.

Ownership of storage varies. Oil companies can own the storage as can pipeline companies. Multiple stakeholders may also jointly own storage.
Tank farm

Tank farms are clusters of large above ground oil storage tanks. More temporary storage facilities are typically located at the initiating end of a transmission line. More long-term storage for point-of-sale purposes is common at the end of a line. Each storage facility is a pipeline system in miniature, requiring distribution and control equipment, but mainly automation equipment for custody transfer measuring (the legal transfer of petroleum products from a supplier to a customer). While crude oil from offshore production is delivered to onshore tank farms by seabed pipelines, production can also be stored in a fixed platform or on a floating production/storage/and offloading vessel. It is then transferred to a tanker for shipment to terminals worldwide. Pressure tanks for the storage of natural gas are expensive, so underground salt caverns or depleted natural gas fields are commonly used.

Natural gas liquids can be stored in cylindrical or spherical tanks, but larger volumes are also stored in underground salt caverns as deep as 5,000 feet.

LNG handling and storage typically involves a three-step process.

I Natural gas is frozen into a liquid state through a complex cryogenic process called liquefaction involving temperatures as low as -160C. I LNG can be stored in cryogenic holding tanks or pumped directly from the cooling vestibule into special insulated vessels, such as railcars, trucks, or ships for transportation. I At the final destination, it is pumped from the vessel into either another cryogenic

storage facility for later delivery or directly into a re-gasification unit, which uses seawater or air to reheat the LNG, converting it back into a gaseous form.

Driving liquids through pipelines Liquids are propelled through most pipelines by centrifugal pumps (located at pumping stations), that are in turn powered by electric motors. In remote areas, power sources include both diesel engines and electric motors. Oil moves through transmission pipelines at four to eight kilometers per hour and may take a month or more to travel 4000 kilometers. Various grades of gasoline, oil and condensate can move through the same pipeline in batches (or slugs), similar to railcars in a train. Simple hydraulics and fluid properties prevent batches from mixing except where they actually come in contact with one another. Those small volumes are then reprocessed. Driving gas through pipelines Natural gas-fired turbines typically drive centrifugal pumps, compressing gas for transmission. Pressures in some of the largest transmission lines can run upward of 7000 kilopascals (1000+ pounds per square inch). The drives to create this pressure can be as much as 35,000 horsepower, propelling natural gas at up to 40 kilometers per hour in the line. Distribution line pressures can start at 3450 kp (500 psi), but can drop to as low as 690 kp (100 psi) in new residential areas.

Pumps under maintenance at a pumping station

Typical sequence in which petroleum flows through a products pipeline

Pumping, booster and compressor stations Pump stations on liquids pipelines represent the best prospects for Schneider Electric power distribution, control and automation equipment because their centrifugal pumps are driven by electrical motors. Natural gas lines, on the other hand, are usually powered by natural gas burning turbines, which usually are prefitted with electrical equipment at the OEM level. Some gas compression stations are also powered by electric motors. To maintain the flow of liquids through the line, booster stations are spaced at 25 to 100-plus kilometer intervals depending on terrain, the type of pipeline and the viscosity of the products being moved. Compression booster stations are spaced further apart because the product is lighter.

10

Configuration A typical pump or compressor station consists of a cluster of buildings:

I A compressor or pump building with compressors or pumps (on flowlines, small

pump units are sometimes left in the open),

I A laboratory building to monitor the quality of product being received into the

pipeline system,
I An office for field technicians, and I An electrical/controls building, which could be a separate building at

larger stations or a prefabricated electrical building (PEB) supplied by specialty packagers. Pumping stations also contain a storage building for lubricants and environmental supplies. Electrical power requirements pipeline applications

Application #1 Gathering lines

Although configurations vary from company to company and region to region, pumping/booster stations on gathering lines starting with four-inch pipes that feed into larger pipes up to 24 inches in diameter will usually have:
I Three electric motor drives in series two operating, one backup from 1000 hp

to over 4000 hp,

I 5 kilovolt incomer for motor drives, I One step down transformer to 480 V for all equipment and valves below 200 hp, I One step down transformer to 120 V for lighting and heating, I One step down to 24 V DC for control equipment.

Process flow diagram

11

Application #2 Transmission lines A petroleum product transmission pipeline can have a smaller diameter than a crude oil pipeline because of the lower viscosity of these refined products. Transmission line booster stations are located between one and 300 kilometers apart, depending on terrain (the average distance works out to 75 kilometers). A typical petroleum products line runs diameters of 6 inches to 24 inches in its system. Each pump/booster station on a transmission line has:
I Two 1000 hp electric motor drives in series (one operating, one backup), I 25 KV incomer for motor drives, I One step down transformer to 5KV for main motor drives, I One step down transformer to 600V for all equipment under 200 hp, I One step down to low voltage three phase 240V and 120V, I 24 V DC for control equipment.

The diagram on page 18 illustrates this application.

Pipeline monitoring systems and SCADA rooms The size and length of a pipeline, the range of products it carries, and the number of distribution points determine the complexity of a pipeline monitoring system. The heart of a pipeline monitoring system is the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. This gives a big picture overview of all pipeline activities and allows the operator to regulate the entire length of the pipeline from a single control centre. Essentially a central computer room, the control centre is staffed around the clock by skilled operators to maintain full operations of the pipeline. A digital communications network consisting of a conventional telephone line, cellular or satellite communications supports the computer control system. The SCADA systems on transmission lines are usually transmitted over satellite. However, depending on the region, pipelines can also be controlled over microwave, spread spectrum, radio, dedicated land lines, or intranet networks using a combination of copper, fiber optics and wireless technology. The four legs of a SCADA network are
I Field instruments and devices, I Station control using programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and/or remote terminal units (RTUs), I Master terminal units (MTUs),
Control centre

SCADA system over a satellite network

I The control centre.

RTUs may be PLCs that collect field information such as valve on/off/in transition status, power distribution, temperature and pressure. The RTU relays this information to the control centre. Located at each pumping station along the length of the pipeline, the RTUs allow the central control room operators to compare computer calculations of actual product flow and pressure with expected values in order to identify anomalies and to take action if necessary including shutting down an entire pumping station. In this way, thousands of kilometers of pipeline can be managed from one central location with the click of a mouse. The systems architecture for a compression station control system appears on the following page.

Custody transfer The legal transfer of petroleum products from a supplier to a customer is referred to as custody transfer. The SCADA system facilitates centralized customer batch tracking, custody transfer metering and product control to ensure batch integrity. Control centre operators are in close communication with field operating technicians to ensure accurate custody transfer. One method of custody transfer uses densitometers devices that measure batch density. Batches are separated by buffers usually of a synthetic crude oil of sufficient density that it does not mix with the customer batch crude. Densitometers relay batch density information in real-time to the SCADA system and allow operators to track and divert specific batches. Storage at downstream end of pipeline Industry standard Modbus communication between pipeline operators and customers is becoming increasingly important, as customers require vital crude oil batch data for accountability and leak detection systems. Easily configured for different applications, PLCs are ideally suited for custody transfer applications because they have a very high mean time between failure rating, even in harsh oil field environments. They also support large data storage requirements and offer security features including the ability to set Memory Protect to secure the configuration, program and accumulated values. 17

Pipeline safety
Electrical and automation equipment certification requirements
International standards Most Schneider Electric power distribution, industrial control and automation equipment is built to international CE, IEC and NEMA standards. Some equipment carries TV SIL 1 and SIL 2 certification. Local standards Some regions and countries require additional local certification.
I Canada: CUL or CSA certification I United States: UL or FM certification I North America: ANSI certification

Metal-clad switchgear, as defined by ANSI C37.20.2 must include:

I Removable (drawout) circuit breakers, I Fully compartmented construction, I Grounded metal barriers that enclose all live parts, I Automatic shutters over primary contacts, I Fluidized-bed epoxy insulated bus, and I Disconnect-type voltage transformers.

Medium voltage controllers, as defined by UL, CUL, ANSI, EEMAC and IEC, must have
I Maximum voltage of 7.2 kV, I Third party certification, I Safety interlocks, I Isolation switch with maintenance-free contacts capable of 5,000 operations.

Oil and gas leak detection equipment

SCADA and automated equipment that detects and contains oil or gas leaks is housed in a weatherproof line block valve station. Often required every few kilometers along a pipeline, line block valve stations can instantly shut down the affected section of pipeline between pumping stations, or between line block valve stations to minimize damage resulting from leaks.

Global pipeline mileage and projects

Construction costs
Under ideal conditions, transmission pipelines cost about CDN $1 million per kilometer (approximately US $1.25 per mile) to build. Compression stations run about CDN $30 million (US $24 m) to build.

North America New and planned pipeline mileage in North America has slightly increased over the past year from 12,111 to 14,296. Two promising prospects for future North American construction are the long anticipated 2,100-mile Alaska Highway Pipeline to bring natural gas south from the North Slope and the 756-mile Mackenzie Gas project to ship gas from the Mackenzie River Valley to northwestern Alberta. In recent months, theres been a flurry of activity in Alaska and Canada involving these projects. US Congress passed two bills in October 2004 which contained incentives to build a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to the Midwestern USA. The bills contain numerous provisions including one authorizing up to $18 billion in loan guarantees. In Canada, Imperial Oil and its partners filed applications in October 2004 with regulatory authorities to construct the $7 billion Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline. The system will connect an estimated 6 Tcf of natural gas in the Mackenzie Delta with an existing pipeline in northern Alberta. Ultimately, the pipeline will deliver 1.2 Bcf/d of gas to North American markets.

Schneider Electrics key offering

We offer a complete products, equipment & systems portfolio, which includes MV & LV power distribution, motor controls, automation & industrial controls.
Medium voltage arc-mitigating switchgear This switchgear
I Increases uptime because damage is limited when in a fault condition, I Offers better personnel protection, I Eliminates arc and associated hazards via light sensors that activate a fast-acting, shorting circuit breaker.

Power factor correction capacitors The family of low and medium voltage power factor correction capacitors from Schneider Electric provides many benefits for pipelines:
I Offers operational cost savings, which are achieved through improved productivity, lower utility bills and reduced repair and maintenance costs, I Provides voltage support for starting large motors, I Releases capacity (kVA) on transformers and other distribution equipment, I Reduces current losses.

Active harmonic filters Harmonic filtering has become increasingly important for the pipeline industry due to the proliferation of power electronic loads such as drives to run pumps and compressors. The harmonics generated by these loads may disrupt other loads, reduce the life span of many devices, increase operating costs and lower the reliability of the electrical network. The active harmonic filter is the best choice for harmonic control in pipelines because it
I Meets the most stringent level of IEEE 519-1992, I Can be applied on a common bus, I Eliminates the need for harmonics studies, I Packages easily in an MCC, I Provides a more cost-effective alternative to using 18-pulse drives as a means to reduce harmonic distortion.

Protection relays These relays

I Are easy to commission (predefined, easy-to-set functions), I Are user-friendly, I Feature windows-based software, I Have a high mean time to failure (over 50 years).

22

Medium voltage motor controllers Schneider Electric medium voltage motor controllers offer a competitive advantage because of their compact footprint and enhanced safety features. The safety features include
I Load discharge assembly, I Compartmentalization, I Arc-resistant enclosure, I Grounded isolating switches.

Software This software features:

I Hot-standby capabilities for critical applications, I A built-in, interactive operator screen to streamline maintenance, I A full-function simulator to enable application bench testing, I User-defined function blocks to simplify programming, I Ability to program in five different languages Structured Text, Ladder,

Function Block, Sequential Function Chart, and Instruction List,

I Data array structures and math capabilities that facilitate the development of Modbus Plus routines.

Software reduces programming time and software investment costs, because the programmer can reuse function blocks designed for previous projects. This capability is especially important for applications such as
I Sectionalizing valves, where there are common inputs and outputs used at each station.The software can map these common I/Os to the standard variable names regardless of the I/O points physical location. I Developing a standard analogue scaling block to ensure repeatability of densitometer signals for multiple sites.

Hot standby PLCs These auto-configurable, Unity-compatible controllers require no setup or special hardware. Designed to protect against power supply, CPU or I/O driver module failure, they also provide:
I Exceptionally fast scan and transfer time, I High availability, dependability and security required by critical process applications such as petrochemical facilities and tank farms. (Because tank farms have no surge capacity and are located at various points along the pipeline system, a failure in the tank farm control system can potentially impact the mainline pipeline operations.) I Bumpless, controlled transfer with minimal process impact. This ensures that critical processes running on a remote I/O network remain intact and unaffected by controller hardware failures thereby increasing productivity and reducing downtime.

Additional benefits:
I Default assignment of the primary PLC, based on the MAC address, makes the system plug and play. I Both PLCs may be placed as much as 2 km apart.

23

I Applications are automatically downloaded from primary to standby. I Logic mismatches are configurable via Unity Pro or by the command register. I Existing I/O drops can be used. I There is no need for a dedicated module or software. I Default configuration and native, preconfigured functions eliminate the need for specific executive software.

The fact that the Unity/Quantum hot standby solution does not require programming is unique. Oil and gas flow measurement Schneider Electric PLCs are ideally suited for gas flow measurement (by volume or weight over a specific amount of time). Calculations are provided as an integrated hardware and software solution in the PLC processor, providing the complex control schemes required by pipeline applications. Transparent ReadyTM Transparent ReadyTM is a simple solution that gives you access to important data (currents, voltages, powers, energies, device status, etc.) contained in your power equipment. You can access them wherever you are, from any PC connected to your corporate Ethernet network via a simple Web browser with secure access.
I Keep control of your power consumption I Improve power supply availability I Better manage your electrical installation I Ethernet TCP/IP, Mobdus and the web: Recognized standards

Schneider Electrics strongest value proposition to the pipeline sector is therefore an offer featuring power distribution and/or industrial control equipment, combined with Unity software, Quantum hot standby PLCs and/or Transparent ReadyTM. Equally strong is Schneider Electrics customized RTU offer for boosting/pumping station applications. The following success stories attest to the strength of this offer. Turkey: Transparent ReadyTM will facilitate refinery substation automation Schneider Electric Turkeys largest project to date entails automating a petroleum companys substation with:
I Modicon Quantum PLCs running on a Unity hot standby configuration, I PLC CPUs, I Transparent ReadyTM Ethernet modules.

A one millisecond (ms) time stamp must be put on selected digital inputs. All systems must be synchronized to 1 ms accuracy. GE protection relays, Quantum PLCs and digital input modules must be adjusted to the same millisecond level for electrical system fault analysis. Initially, Schneider Electric Turkey was going to suggest installing: I Concept software for the Modicon Quantum PLCs,
I 140ERT85410 modules for time stamping, I STS3000 Merlin Gerin products to synchronize the ERT and protection relays.

24

However, after seeing the successful operation of Transparent Readys Ethernet-based Network Time Protocol (NTP) at Spains Madrid Barajas Airport, Schneider Electric Turkey suggested installing:
I Unity software. I Modicon Quantum PLCs with 140CPU6760 Hot-Standby CPUs. I Transparent ReadyTM Ethernet modules for NTP.

This solution was key to securing the project. For more information on this project, contact Deniz Akkaya, Schneider Electric Turkey, at deniz_akkaya@tr.schneider-electric.com. China: Quantum/Unity Pro solution will provide the high availability required by Sinopecs Long River pipeline Schneider Electric recently signed a contract with the Sinopec Group for the Long River pipeline project in China. This 1,000 km pipeline will transport 21 million tons of refined oil per year. This pipeline project consists of one monitoring center and 13 stations. Each station requires a redundant PLC system. The monitoring center will communicate with the 13 stations over Ethernet TCP/IP. Schneider Electrics solution: Quantum and Unity Pro software. This package, with its advantage of proven high performance, ease of installation and excellent service, enabled Schneider Electric to win this project despite tough competition. For more information on this project, contact Zhaolin Sun, Schneider Electric China, at zhaolin.sun@cn.schneider-electric.com North America: Square D Motor Logic Plus 2 dual port relay will allow future real-time monitoring of overloads at an oil refinery The Square D Motor Logic Plus 2 relays dual ports (DeviceNet and Modbus) will facilitate modernizing a North American oil refinerys MCCs. (For safety reasons, each section of these hard-wired MCCs has a termination cabinet to isolate field control devices from line voltages.) Schneider Electric won this order because they were the only manufacturer who could provide an overload relay with:
I Dual ports (DeviceNet and Modbus) (Competitors equipment were solely

DeviceNet-compatible).
I A second communication port making possible a future Transparent ReadyTM

option for overload setting and monitoring. The Motor Logic Plus 2 relays open, Ethernet-based communication capability will facilitate: I Controlling, programming and monitoring remotely using standard automation equipment.
I Redundant communication directly to each motor starter.

This solution is illustrated on next page. For more information on this project, contact Claude Desormiers, Schneider Electric Canada, at claude.desormiers@ca.schneider-electric.com

Glossary of Terms
Batches Different commodities can be sent through liquids pipelines. They are sent in batches similar to the movement of railcars in a train. There is no intermixing of these liquids except in small quantities where they contact with one another. Liquid buffers are often inserted between batches to maximize batch integrity. An in-field processing facility to separate crude oil from other substances such as natural gas, carbon dioxide, saltwater, sulfur compounds and sand. A semisolid hydrocarbon mixture. The oilsands bitumen in Canada is the worlds largest known hydrocarbon resource. Pump or compressor stations along the length of pipeline to maintain flows. Methane trapped within coal beds.

Battery

Bitumen

Booster stations

CMB (coal bed methane) CO2/Nitrogen/ Water flood

Secondary recovery techniques that involve flooding reservoirs with these compounds to bring maintain pressures or to make crude oil or natural gas more readily available for extraction. A part of this is CO2 sequestration, which involves injecting CO2 into a formation and deriving the twin benefits of dislodging methane and storing CO2 underground rather than releasing it into the atmosphere. Liquids obtained from natural gas, traditionally used as a diluent to promote flow of heavy oils through a pipeline. A naturally occurring liquid mixture of hydrocarbons. It includes complex hydrocarbon molecules. Crude oil is often mixed with other substances such as natural gas, carbon dioxide, salt water, sulfur compounds and sand, which are separated from the liquid hydrocarbons in filed processing facilities called batteries. The legal transfer of petroleum products from a supplier to a customer. A device that measures product density. Liquids used to promote flow of heavy oils through a pipeline. Thicker grade of oil commonly used in asphalt road construction but also for upgrading into lighter petroleum products. Heavy oil sometimes requires the addition of condensates to be able to flow through pipelines. Compounds of hydrogen and carbon. The simplest hydrocarbon is methane (CH4).

LNG (liquefied natural gas)

Supercooled natural gas maintained as a liquid at -160C. LNG occupies 1/640th of its original volume and is therefore easier to transport if pipelines are not available. Mainly methane, although it can exist in a form that is naturally mixed with ethane, propane, butane and other substances such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, sulfur compounds and helium. These compounds are separated from the methane at processing plants located near producing fields. A semisolid hydrocarbon mixture of sand and bitumen. Also refers to the region around Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, the worlds largest known bitumen resource. A general term for all naturally occurring hydrocarbons natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil and bitumen. Prefabricated electrical building supplied by specialty packagers. A device that collects and sends data to the SCADA host system over a wired or wireless network.

Natural gas

Oilsands

Petroleum

PEB

RTU (remote terminal unit) SAGD (steam assisted gravity drainage)

An in-situ oilsands extraction technique. Steam is pumped into the ground over the course of months to mobilize the bitumen downward where a horizontal well pumps the mixture to the surface. A wire or wireless central control system used to monitor and maintain operations of larger pipelines.

SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) Synthetic crude oil

Oil upgraded from heavy oil or bitumen containing neither residue nor very heavy components. Oil storage facilities. Prehistoric seabed stretching from the Rocky Mountain foothills to the border of Saskatchewan.

Tank farms Western Canadas Sedimentary Basin (WCSB)
