TBox RTU’s provide reliable, Cyber Secure solution at the Shaanxi-Beijing 4th Gas Pipeline - Case Study

PetroChina Beijing Natural Gas Pipeline Co., Ltd. is a regional company specializing in pipeline construction and operation management for PetroChina. It is responsible for the construction, operation and management of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Gas Pipeline Project (referred to as Shaanxi-Beijing Pipeline).

The 4th Shaanxi-Beijing Gas Pipeline Project includes the 1,083 km Jingbian-Kooliying trunk line and the 31 km Gaoliying-Xishayu branch line. The pipeline route starts at Jingbian in Shaanxi and then crosses the provinces of Inner Mongolia before arriving at the Gaoliying Terminal in Beijing.

The SCADA system manages the monitoring, control, dispatch and management of the entire pipeline from either of two dispatch control centres. The primary dispatch control centre is located in Beijing, with a standby dispatch control centre located in Langfang in Hebei province.

Monitoring and control from the dispatch centres allows for stations along the pipeline route to operate while unmanned.
