Abstract: This paper will review, without being loo technical, how todays technology in telecommunications enhances the ability of Mountain Fuel Resources Gas Control Center to better the management of its computerized Gas Control system by using current operating data to provide efficient and effective results on a reallime basis. In 1955, when I joined the Company, the only means we had 10 obtain Supervisory Control, measurement data, and voice communications from our production fields located in Wyoming and Colorado was through the use of our own telephone lines and a few leased lines from the local telephone company. We were using the old style crank telephones for voice communications, and, at a predetermined lime each day, all production fields would call (las Control and report their pipeline pressures and production figures. Needless to say, this took a lot of the gas dispatchers time. Production fields were manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and, at this time, camp dwellings were provided for families who worked in the fields. Line riders on horseback checked the pipelines from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Powder Wash, Colorado. There was no commercial entertainment nearby, and life in these field camps was a real test to a marriage. Entertainment was usually the result of an effort by those living in the camps.
