ABB India has successfully delivered an integrated scope of advanced automation and digital solutions for Indian Oil Corporation’s (IndianOil) countrywide oil and gas pipeline network. Spanning over 20,000 kilometers across multiple states in India, the network is vital to supporting the country’s energy needs, transporting 125 million metric tons of oil and 49 million metric standard cubic meters of gas annually. ABB’s 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 cyber security 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, ABB is providing a 10-year ABB Care contract to ensure all existing pipelines are unified under CPIMS and to provide long-term service support for IndianOil’s pipeline infrastructure. “CPIMS has been envisioned to address the complexities associated with the maintenance and operation of the cross-country pipeline network. By leveraging cutting edge technology, this project aims to eliminate manual operations and enhance the efficiency, productivity, and availability of the pipeline network” said Senthil Kumar N, Director (Pipelines), IndianOil. “At IndianOil, we value our enduring partnership with ABB, which spans over a decade.” “With energy demand growing in line with population increases, ABB is committed to supporting global energy security, while making existing energy systems leaner and cleaner. We are proud to partner with IndianOil on the CPIMS project, which marks a significant leap in pipeline operations’ efficiency, safety, integrity and cyber security,” said G Balaji, Head of ABB Energy Industries in India. “Our advanced SCADA and cyber security solutions support real-time data monitoring and help protect the critical assets of 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 under commissioning.
