Case Study: Major Asia-Pacific Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Producer achieves fivefold increase in monitored wells and reduced field visits with Honeywell ControlEdge™ RTU

CBM Producer Improves Remote Well Field Automation with ControlEdge™ RTU Solution

Major Asia Pacific Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Producer needed to collect real-time data and run hundreds of dispersed well sites autonomously under harsh, low-power conditions. To centralize monitoring, improve diagnostics and reduce field visits, the customer engaged Honeywell and its ControlEdge™ RTU together with Experion® SCADA for a wellhead automation solution.

Honeywell supplied a wellhead automation skid based on the modular, IEC 61131-3 ControlEdge RTU (with native redundancy, expanded and wireless I/O and IIoT-enabled diagnostics) integrated with Experion SCADA. The deployment eliminated many field trips, enabled staff to monitor about five times more wells, cut equipment monitoring and diagnostic time from hours to minutes, and improved equipment reliability and scalability for faster expansion.
