Johanson, G E

One of the largest sour gas production and processing systems in the world is located northwest of Calgary, Alberta. The Canterra Ram River Gas Plant can process 630 MMcf per day and produce 4600 tons per day of sulfur. Because of the environmental sensitivity, difficult access to reserves, and sour gas safety considerations, a state-of-the-art supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system provides remote monitoring and control of the wells and pipeline block valve sites. The system also handles recording and gas production accounting. The author describes the SCADA system and its implementation. 4 figures.
