The National Center for Natural Gas Control (CENAGAS) was established on August 28, 2014, through a decree published in the Federal Official Gazette, as part of Mexico's energy reform. Subsequently, on October 29, 2015, it took over the management of more than 9,000 kilometers of natural gas pipelines from Pemex, including the National Gas Pipeline System (SNG) and the Naco-Hermosillo (SNH) system. To effectively supervise and control these networks, CENAGAS sought to implement a SCADA system for over 400 stations across the country.

Challenge

We faced the strategic challenge of implementing a SCADA system to monitor, acquire data, and control operational and measurement variables within the extensive SNG and SNH gas pipeline networks. The urgent need for continuous and reliable pipeline monitoring led to the implementation of an industrial communications network under the managed data transport service (TELCO), ensuring high levels of availability and security.

Solution

We developed and implemented a robust, high-availability industrial telecommunications network, connecting 400 remote stations to the central SCADA system, located at both the Main Control Center and the Alternate Control Center.

Today, our client benefits from an uninterrupted data transport service, enabling seamless communication, monitoring, and control of variables from over 350 remote stations to their central SCADA system. The service boasts an availability of over 99.5% at surface stations and 99.99% at the alternate main control centers. This solution has significantly improved operational efficiency and strengthened their capacity to respond to any contingency, meeting both current and future needs.

Testimony

“The services delivered during the term of the contract have been satisfactory in terms of availability, efficiency and quality; presenting a high-level team with the necessary skills and abilities to develop and manage projects within contractual limits. This has helped to meet CENAGAS' operational commitments.”

- Secundino Flores Moreno, Executive Director of Operational Technologies

Conclusion

The success of this project has solidified a strong collaboration with our client since 2017. This ongoing partnership enables us to advance towards a future of reliable and adaptive data transport systems, aligned with growing operational demands.
