The companies are currently cooperating under the Debottlenecking Program of the Tengiz-Novorossiysk oil pipeline. The parties signed a contract totaling 8 million pounds for upgrade of the supervisory control and data acquisition system (OASyS SCADA), leak detection system (SimSuite) and on-line operator training system (OTS), including a hydraulic model. The implementation of the entire industrial software project, including six separate stages, will take more than 50 months. The project will be led by project teams in Russia and Kazakhstan, working not only in project offices, but also directly at CPC sites with the support of AVEVA specialists all over the world.
