Case Study: Major Asia-Pacific Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Producer achieves optimized gas production and metering with Honeywell ControlEdge RTU

ControlEdge™ RTU Enables CBM Producer to Optimize Gas Production and Gas Metering

Major Asia Pacific Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Producer operates thousands of low‑flow wells across remote, harsh terrain and needed a way to collect accurate gas production and metering data without time‑consuming, unsafe manual rounds. The company engaged Honeywell to modernize its metering and remote control using the ControlEdge™ RTU and Experion® SCADA as part of an expansion project.

Honeywell deployed ControlEdge RTUs with HART‑enabled onboard I/O, Modbus ultrasonic flowmeter diagnostics, AGA/ISO/API‑validated flow calculations and Experion SCADA for bi‑directional nomination control and centralized monitoring. The solution eliminated manual data collection, enabled low‑power/solar operation, improved metering accuracy and safety, reduced operator trips and maintenance needs, and provided faster local support—delivering more predictive, diagnostic and efficient gas production and metering for the producer.
