Total UK E&P has selected Asset Guardian Solutions’ (AGSL) Asset Guardian to secure and manage its process control software across its North Sea oil and gas fields. Asset Guardian provides a centralized, secure repository for storing process control software files, along with disaster recovery services and software version control. Central management of software ensures that authorized, onshore and offshore personnel have access to the same information. The system also prevents simultaneous changes being made to code while the use of MD5 checksums provides integrity assurance of files during transfer.
AGSL is also providing Total with its AGSync application that synchronizes files across onshore and offshore locations. Asset Guardian will be first deployed on Total’s Elgin-Franklin gas condensate fields. If the test deployment succeeds the software will then be deployed on other Total E&P UK assets. AGSL is also to assist Total with installation of the software and provide user and administrator training.
