Midstream Enterprise SCADA Modernization

The challenge

The incumbent SCADA platform had become the integration layer for everything, which made every new analytics or reporting request a custom, fragile effort.

Leadership wanted a path to modern platforms and cloud analytics without a risky, all-at-once cutover of the systems running the pipeline.

The approach

• Stood up a Unified Namespace as the contract between producers and consumers across basins.
• Kept CygNet in place as a publisher into the namespace rather than ripping it out.
• Layered Ignition on top for new visualization and control, subscribing to the namespace instead of the legacy platform.
• Phased the rollout site by site so the safety-critical path was never in question.

The outcome

• A vendor-neutral architecture that scales as new sites and tools come online.
• New consumers integrated in a fraction of the previous effort thanks to a single clean data layer.
• A clear, low-risk runway toward cloud analytics and future platforms.
