SCADA Systems for Oil & Gas Sales Rebound from Pent-up Demand

ARC Advisory Group market research on the SCADA systems for the upstream and midstream oil & gas industry market reveals that SCADA systems are evolving to better support increased demand for field data in the most secure manner possible. End users utilize supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology to help reduce operational and maintenance costs and link operations to business processes for a variety of purposes, including business performance management and leveraging investments in existing assets and systems to optimize capital expenditures. The global SCADA market reflects the impact of the new economic reality on SCADA components and more cost-effective communications for both data and knowledge transfer.

SCADA Systems for Oil & Gas Industry Strategic Issues

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the SCADA Systems for Oil & Gas Research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

Be Open to New Approaches

Industrial IoT is expanding the number of ways to address traditional challenges and the new opportunities provided by digitalization. The number and types of data collectors are increasing, as are the variety of field devices. With analytics getting pushed closer to the field, Edge devices can have ample processing power to accomplish more than just network processing and basic logic. Networking technology is also expanding the data pipes to the field making new solutions viable where they previously were not.

Dig Deep into Cybersecurity

SCADA Systems for Oil & GasSecurity is not a new issue for industries that use SCADA technology, but remains an issue that requires careful attention. As cyberattacks and infiltrations by terrorists and emerging superpowers have become more sophisticated and persistent, cybersecurity for SCADA system vulnerability has become a matter of increasing concern for many companies. Linking SCADA and other operations systems to IT and enterprise-level systems only increases security complexity. SCADA system end users often do not have the internal resources required to detect, assess, and remedy security problems, but they must at least develop a security policy or strategy. This was highlighted this year by a ransomware attack on a major US pipeline company.

Security continues as a focal point for operating companies, and SCADA suppliers must be able to respond to these clients’ increasing security needs. Security vulnerability assessment results often provide an additional driver to initiate a migration planning initiative or to seek assistance from external sources. It is important for end users that security solutions must be cost-effective and must not interfere with the functioning of SCADA systems. Many overlook physical security which is an important component of an overall cybersecurity strategy.

Legacy SCADA systems often have attributes that are not compatible with standard security measures. The technology cycle of the IT world changes rapidly compared with the world of SCADA systems. Web enablement brings with it another set of security-related concerns. Finding the right skillset to deal with a growing list of security issues may require partnering between suppliers, manufacturers, and security firms.

Integrity Management Initiatives

Consisting primarily of pipelines, the midstream portion of the oil & gas industry has a critical need to adopt and implement integrity management initiatives. The increasing need for these initiatives is a result of the regulatory environment, focus on public safety, and extended asset lifecycles. SCADA systems are a prime repository of information and data that can be linked to both integrity management and asset lifecycle programs.

In the US, the "Pipeline Safety Improvement Act" and the subsequently amended final rule, "Implementing Integrity Management" for natural gas transmission pipelines require pipeline operators to establish integrity management programs and set standards for conducting risk analysis. Aside from enabling adherence to the regulatory requirements, these programs also enable operating companies to realize value from extending the safe and efficient
operational life of pipeline assets. Given this, a SCADA system must easily support the dataflow required to maintain and improve overall integrity.
