Oil & Gas Industry

Our mainstay is pipeline control systems

Mission Automation Group specializes in Oil & Gas Pipeline control systems. Since we’re from South Texas, our mainstay is pipeline control systems. Although our Integrators have a wide range of controls system back grounds, Oil & Gas is our home.

Control Systems

Design and construction of Pipeline control systems:

  • Design and build Pipeline control system cabinets for interior use, or for exterior use.
  • Develop Local HMI PC / Touch Screens applications for data at a glance.
  • Develop all PLC Programs
  • Configure Flow Computers
  • Upper Level SCADA and DCS integration
  • Startup Support
  • Tech Support after startup

Our Control System Designs

Oil & Gas - Mission Controls & Automation

We’ll take your P&ID diagrams, or ideas and from here, extract the IO and build a controller. The Controller brand is customer driven, but if you need MAG to select a controller for you, we will.

MAG will develop CAD drawings, using your CAD drawing template, and develop all cabinet / junction box layout drawings and termination drawings. MAG can also develop loop diagrams if needed.

Once the bill of materials and drawings have been approved, the control cabinet will be built at our panel shop.

When the control cabinet is built, you can come and witness the testing of all IO circuits, then if required, after the PLC program is completed, perform an FAT.

Automation Overview

Process Controls have come a long way since the mechanical relay panels used in factories, refineries, chemical plants, and pipelines. These panels occupied a lot of space, and required a certain skill to maintain both the relay panel, its contents, and the drawings. The drawings were, back then, the program. The relay panels were laid out very well, and were wired neatly, a lost art today. A common nylon “zip-tie” today, was “wax thread” yesterday, keeping all the wires neatly gathered, and routed to their termination points. As technology in this field evolved, the relay panels did as well. Now you see the same neat panels, smaller, in some cases to say the least, serve the same function, but are safer to work in, and offer more functions than ever before.

In comes the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) hardware, the software, and Human Machine Interface equipment, not to mention the latest din rail mounted “safe” terminals and peripheral components that make up a control cabinets contents. The skill set, now, is basically the same, but with a twist. The “Integrator” as we are called, has to know how to navigate thru a logic editor, know the different programming languages, and know how to transform the process controls ideas from paper to the software. The versatility of todays PLC is almost endless, and mapping the incoming field signals to a local screens for display, DCS systems, or upper level SCADA system is at the integrators finger tips.

Analyze, Optimize & Identify

Are you looking for automation and control systems to regulate wells and facilities, analyze production trends, optimize flow, and identify/address concerns before they become real problems?
