Oil and gas are still indispensable fuels for the global economy, and exploring for new sources of oil and gas remains a lucrative and attractive endeavor. New oil platforms, rigs, and pipelines are constantly being constructed to meet the demand for oil, with a corresponding growth in the number of factories and control centers used to process and manage crude oil. To maximize efficiency and safety, these systems are becoming more integrated, but unfortunately, the traditional SCADA systems used by the oil and gas industry are difficult to integrate because they are highly independent and have limited connectivity to other systems. This limitation will need to be overcome as oil facilities grow more complex, and safety and reliability grow ever more important. Moxa’s complete range of industrial networking, monitoring, and computing products are engineered for harsh mission-critical environments and provide the reliability, flexibility, and safety needed to maintain and operate oil and gas facilities.

Real-Time Monitoring of Oil Pipeline Systems
Multiple pumping stations, such as block valve stations and compressor stations, keep the pressure in the pipeline constant. Operators can quickly detect, locate, and prevent or resolve leaks, damages, and breaks by deploying a rugged, extendable fiber-optic Ethernet network. The the network must be robust, secure, highly available, and include an integrated remote monitoring for pipeline operators to improve safety and reliability and reduce the total cost of the pipeline.
Why Moxa
- Reliable and secure wired and wireless communication network solutions
- High-performance VPN for large data acquisition requirements to secure data transmissions
- Smart RTU, ensuring accurate data timestamps and prompt alarm triggering

Ensure 24/7 Sustainable Production with Industrial Ethernet
The distributed control system (DCS) is the main control system and is connected to the controller elements by Ethernet networks to manage and monitor the plant’s output and performance. Since non-stop 24/7 operation is crucial to the entire process, the Ethernet network system must have reliable redundancy to achieve high data availability and optimal productivity. In addition, a reliable and secure auxiliary system is used to detect and track unsafe events, such as leaks, to maintain safe operations.
Why Moxa
- Highly reliable and secure industrial Ethernet communication networks for the entire DCS
- Event-based RTU controllers and remote I/Os provide an integrated service for real-time data acquisition and monitoring.
- Full Gigabit Layer 3/Layer 2 rackmount switches supporting up to four 10GbE ports and Turbo Ring /Turbo Chain redundant technology
