Oil & gas

Oil & gas is a highly responsive business where the ability to react fast to changes in the market is critical. As business control and process control are very much related, hundreds of different signals sourced from Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are compiled into information useful for the operators and the management of the super major, major and small oil & gas companies.

Oil & gas industries, global by nature and running 24/7, set high expectations on the quality and reliability of services and products. Barco's display solutions, including our OverView series and TransForm series, live up to these expectations.

In midstream and downstream environments, a video wall is best suited to show large-scale information such as an outline of a process plant, factory or pipeline. Geographic maps for well sites, as well as any other topological information, are best shown on large-size walls. In the emergency control room, interface tools such as touch screens can be implemented to enhance the Human–Machine Interface (HMI) and improve the ease of use for operators and emergency staff.

Barco's iUtilities dynamic and real-time multi-application process visualization solution features highly flexible video walls, video wall controllers and wall management software. Combined, the system allows for dynamic viewing of the entire facility and selected detailed views. Ultimate customer satisfaction is achieved through our quality of services, high production yield and future-proof design.

Our digital map board solution, such as the system in operation at Aramco OSPAS, allows creating a complete business and process overview with data sourced from legacy or obsolete systems, Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and DCS and ERP databases. The interface can be OLE for Process Control (OPC)-based or proprietary.
