Selecting a Monitoring Technology for a Control System of Distributed Oil Production Facilities

The article proposes the structure of a SCADA system for monitoring and control of oil production facilities that are distributed over a large area. The main emphasis is on the selection of technology that will enable effective monitoring of the equipment of each oil well. Factors such as reliability, ease of use, availability of protection against third-party interference, as well as availability and accessibility of an open-source software code were taken into account. After reviewing the most common software platforms, a system based on Prometheus and Grafana was selected.
