BTC Pipeline Case Study: Safeguarding Crude Oil Transportation with Advanced Systems
Discover how our subsidiary Optilan’s cutting-edge solutions fortified the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, enabling seamless and secure crude oil transportation across 1,768 kilometers, from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
Overview: The Vital BTC Pipeline
The BTC pipeline is a critical 1,768-kilometer-long crude oil pipeline that connects the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli oil field in the Caspian Sea to the port of Ceyhan on the south-eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. This significant infrastructure links Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, to the Mediterranean Sea, facilitating the transportation of valuable crude oil.
Intelligent Subsystems for Enhanced Security
Optilan’s expertise was instrumental in designing and installing several intelligent subsystems that fortified the BTC pipeline’s safety and reliability:
Pipeline Intrusion & Leak Detection:
Implementing advanced intrusion and leak detection systems to quickly identify and respond to any potential security breaches or leakages, ensuring the pipeline’s integrity.
Control Centre:
Establishing a centralized control center to monitor and manage the entire pipeline’s operations, providing real-time oversight and rapid response capabilities.
Control Room Console:
Equipping the control room with state-of-the-art consoles for efficient control and seamless coordination of critical activities.
PC’s & Monitors:
Providing high-performance PCs and monitors to support data analysis and decision-making processes.
PIDS (Blockvalves):
Implementing a Pipeline Intrusion Detection System for the block valves, ensuring swift detection of unauthorized access.
CCTV (Blockvalves):
Deploying CCTV systems to monitor the block valves’ security and enhance surveillance capabilities.
Cisco IP Backbone:
Establishing a robust Cisco IP backbone infrastructure for reliable and secure data transmission across the pipeline.
Enhanced Security and Efficiency
With Optilan’s intelligent subsystems in place, the BTC pipeline experienced enhanced security and operational efficiency. The pipeline’s integrity was safeguarded through advanced intrusion and leak detection, while the centralized control center and control room console allowed for effective decision-making and prompt response to any potential issues.
A Safer and Reliable Crude Oil Transportation Route
Thanks to cutting-edge solutions, the BTC pipeline continues to be a safe and reliable route for transporting crude oil from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. The deployment of CCTV systems and the implementation of the Pipeline Intrusion Detection System ensure continuous monitoring, mitigating risks and ensuring uninterrupted oil flow.
