What`s new in the pipeline industry in terms of field automation and information systems technology? What impact are these technologies having on the business environment and how will they affect the way companies do business in the future? How can one leverage these technologies to support the demanding business requirements of today and tomorrow? The paper takes a quick look back at the origin of the first field control systems and office automation. Through a chronological progression it arrives at what`s on the leading edge of information technology today. From small scale compressor control systems to large scale pipeline information systems, the authors look at the informational requirements and how systems currently implement the required functionality.
