ABB has successfully delivered an integrated scope of advanced automation and digital solutions for IndianOil’s countrywide oil and gas pipeline network. Spanning over 12,435 miles (20,000 km) across multiple states in India, the network is vital to supporting the country’s energy needs, transporting 125 mtpa of oil and 49 MMscm of gas annually.
The solutions will be at the core of supporting IndianOil’s Centralized Pipeline Information Management System (CPIMS). The project involved the design, engineering, supply and commissioning of the ABB Ability SCADAvantage digital platform, which features robust cybersecurity and disaster recovery systems hosted on the cloud.
The scope also included digital solutions for centralized management of IndianOil’s pipelines across the country. Additionally, a 10-year ABB Care contract to ensure all existing pipelines are unified under CPIMS is included.
“CPIMS has been envisioned to address the complexities associated with the maintenance and operation of cross-country pipeline network,” said Senthil Kumar, director of pipelines operations at IndianOil. “By leveraging technology, this project aims to eliminate manual operations and enhance the efficiency, productivity and availability of the pipeline networks.”
ABB was awarded the CPIMS project contract in February 2024. Within one year, ABB designed and delivered its integrated solutions for managing the pipeline network, which is now under commissioning. P&GJ
