Title: Survey Of Offshore Platform Automation

Abstract: The Automation Committee of the American Gas Association created the Platform Automation Task Group in 1971, in response to a gas industry need that has affected a large segment of the industry. The problem that induced the committee to look into the matter of platform automation was the considerable impact that hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico have had on the continuity of gas supply to customers throughout the central and eastern part of the United States. As soon as a hurricane entered the Gulf, all of the gas and oil production facilities would be closed down. It would take two or three days to shut in the wells and shutdown the offshore and onshore facilities and another couple of days to get things back in operation after the passing of the storm.
