The Oil & Gas Solutions Layer

With Trihedral’s Oil & Gas Solutions layer, you can build systems that handle process control SCADA information along with providing regulatory-compliant Electronic Flow Monitoring (EFM) systems for collection, storage, and reporting of custodial transfer data in a single application with no dependencies on third party software.

 

To begin, use the Advanced option of the Add New Applications Wizard to create a new application. In the Create New page of that process, ensure that the Type is set to Oil and Gas Solutions.

(Early versions of the Oil & Gas Solutions layer relied on a Driver Pack Layer. This is no longer the case. All required drivers are native to a standard VTScada installation. The Oil & Gas Solutions layer is protected so that it cannot be started. You must build your own application using this type, rather than work directly within that layer.)
