ABB Digitizes IndianOil’s 12,400-Mile Pipeline Network with Nationwide SCADA System
(P&GJ) — ABB has delivered a full suite of automation and digital solutions to support Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.’s (IndianOil) vast cross-country pipeline network, one of the largest in the world.
Spanning more than 20,000 kilometers (12,427 miles), IndianOil’s pipeline network transports around 125 million metric tons of oil and 49 million metric standard cubic meters of gas annually, playing a critical role in India’s energy infrastructure.
At the center of the upgrade is ABB’s SCADAvantage digital platform, part of the company’s ABB Ability suite. The platform will power IndianOil’s Centralized Pipeline Information Management System (CPIMS), designed to monitor and manage the nationwide network in real time.
The project scope included the design, engineering, and commissioning of cloud-hosted SCADA systems with built-in cybersecurity and disaster recovery capabilities. ABB will also provide a 10-year service contract to help unify IndianOil’s entire pipeline system under CPIMS and ensure long-term support.
“CPIMS has been envisioned to address the complexities associated with the maintenance and operation of cross-country pipeline networks,” said Senthil Kumar N, Director (Pipelines) at IndianOil. “By leveraging technology, this project aims to eliminate manual operations and enhance the efficiency, productivity and availability of the pipeline networks. At IndianOil, we value our enduring partnership with ABB, which spans over a decade.”
- Balaji, Head of ABB Energy Industries in India, said: “We are proud to partner with IndianOil on the CPIMS project, which marks a significant leap in pipeline operations’ efficiency, safety, integrity and cybersecurity.”
ABB was awarded the project contract in February 2024 and delivered its integrated solutions within a year. Commissioning of the system is currently underway.
