Abstract: The physical assets of natural gas companies can spread across large geographical areas. The great distances and need for reliable monitoring and control of these assets gave way to the control scheme called Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). SCADA spans a broad range of control methodologies across many industries, but for the sake of this paper, SCADA will be used in the context of the natural gas industry. This paper will attempt to give the reader a basic understanding of the operating principles and fundamental components involved in a successful SCADA implementation including the communications infrastructure and end devices. In addition to the technical components, the paper will also touch on where SCADA fits into the corporate data chain, the history of how it got there, and some of the new challenges that have arisen as a result of the integration.
