Study of the «XGF868I» flare gas flow meter solution at the «HBNS Oil Field» with addressing its lack of data integration into the «ICSS» control system

Abstract

This Thesis addresses the lack of detailed flare gas data and diagnostic data from XGF868i flow meters in the ICSS control system at the Groupement Berkine HBNS site. The solution includes creating 17 analog points, each one representing specific data retrieved from the flow meters via Modbus communication. Advanced configurations, such as alarm and historical data settings, were established for analysis and troubleshooting. Additionally, HMIs were developed for six flares, providing easy access from the control room and also enabling remote access through the Honeywell E-server solution. These enhancements contribute to safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible operations.
