Exxon Gas System, Inc., recently began operation of a new gas dispatching center to control its 1500-mile intrastate pipeline system in Texas. The state-of-the-art control system monitors and controls all pipeline-related facilities from the control center in Houston. EGSI's pipeline network delivers gas from producers in South and Northeast Texas to utilities and industrial users in East Texas. From Houston, dispatchers can control flow, operation of compressors, wells and key block valves; and monitor pressures, flow rates and status of equipment such as valves. Data are received through a microwave system and over leased telephone lines from 28 remote terminal units and 200 other input points.
