Title: A Scada-Lnterfaced Gas Controller Training System

Abstract: The complexity and dynamics of pipeline operations have never been greater than they are today. With the move towards open access operation, the old habits of pipeline operations are quickly being retired. This, coupled with the need to train new Gas Controllers and pending operator certification requirements, has placed new emphasis on Gas Controller training programs and training tools. If pipelines always operated the way we would like, the training requirements for Gas Controllers would be greatly simplified. We would not have to worry about training for detecting malfunctions at compressor or regulator stations, we wouldnt have to train the Gas Controller to take the reported SCADA data with a grain-of-salt, and we wouldnt have to be concerned with detecting pipeline leaks. This, however, is not the case and therefore the implementor of a training program must consider how the Gas Controller will be educated in the detection of unusual (but inevitable) operational problems. On-the-job training programs typically fall short of providing for this education. Unusual problems are too infrequent for the Gas Controller to gain the experience and confidence required for dealing with these emergencies.
