This paper reports on design of the supervisory control and data acquisition (scada) system recently installed on the United Kingdom Oil Pipelines Ltd. (UKOP) multiproduct pipeline system which provides a high level of automation and system availability. UKOP is trustee and agent for BP Oil (U.K.) Ltd., Chevron International Oil Company Ltd., Fina plc, Mobil Oil Co. Ltd., Shell U.K. Oil, and Texaco Ltd. The project to replace the existing control system was managed by British Pipeline Agency Ltd. (BPA) which designs and operates liquid petroleum pipelines for several third-party clients, including UKOP. The scada system was designed and built by SD-Scicon, a U.K.-based subsidiary of EDS, which supplies systems integration services for the oil and petrochemical industries.
