Malampaya Project Puts Fieldbus to Work in Mission Critical Applications
Shell Philippines Exploration B.V. (SPEX), operator of the Malampaya project (co-venturers ChevronTexaco and Philippine National Oil Company) was one of the first companies to deploy FOUNDATION Fieldbus in a mission critical application on a large scale with the construction of the Malampaya offshore gas platform, pipeline, and onshore gas processing plant. 353KB

Migration from GSE D/3 to the DeltaV System
The D/3 Distributed Control System (DCS) has tremendous flexibility and was a premiere DCS at the time of its introduction (originally as D/2). In recent years, the D/3 system maintenance has become more challenging. This paper describes concepts of D/3 to DeltaV system transitions that can improve both system maintainability and process performance. 53KB
