Teine Energy AutomationSerViCeS Blackrock Automation was engaged Y ed b Teine
Energy to design, develop, and commission of a multiple rack PLC and HMI program for a multi
well oil battery and gas plant 9 years ago. The first job was so successful that Blackrock has
been responsible for providing the new SCADA application build and 24/7 support. Blackrock
Automation is now responsible to support over 1100 locations on their SCADA platform along
with local PLC's,. HMI, measurement equipment and field cyber security equipment. Teine
Energy over the years have been very aggressive with acquiring companies and properties so
we have been tasked to review acquired hardware and software to consult Teine Energy for a
best plan to upgrade that is most efficient and meets the standards that Teine Energy and
Blackrock worked together to standardize. All work performed whether it is maintenance or
new builds we follow the document control process to ensure the proper documentation
is updated and available when needed. The documents that Blackrock are reasonable for are
cause and effect keys, control narratives/philosophies, quality control/assurance documents
and how-to manuals for operators and service support. overall project cost was over
$10million.
Wapiti Gas Plant Build — June 2017 to January 2019 Designed, Developed,
Commissioned and assisted with start-up of 200 Mmscf/d gas plant. Project included
2 virtual servers, 2 historians, 4 operator stations, PLC connect for Allen Bradley IP network, 2
main 800xA (ABB DCS) control panels with 27 select 10 remote racks cabinets, 75 VFD
integrations to plant DCS system, secure IP networks with Hirschman switches and cisco
firewalls. Cost of the Automation section of the project was $2.15 Million, and Blackrock was
done on time and 3 % under budget. Also included in the scope was a complete QA/LAC package
with control philosophy documents, programming standards documents, and we trained local
engineering staff to self-support the facility as needed. We continue to support the high-level
aspects of the facility.
Devon Energy -Central Tank Batteries and Gathering Wells.,
November 2017 to December 2018 Designed, Developed, Commissioned and assisted with
start-up of large scale gathering central tank batteries. Project included an Allen Bradley
Control Logix PLC consisting of 1500+ I/O, Redlion Edge communicating with Modbus TCP,
Modbus 485, and Ethernet/IP. Each tank battery could have up to 20 orbiting oil well -sites with
its own Allen Bradley L18 PLC. Remote Redlion HMIs were installed in multiple locations
throughout the site to facilitate operator ease of use. In total 13 of these sites were completed
in a little over a year's time. Over cost of this project was $2.6million.

CP Energy- Central Tank Battery/Gathering Wells and SCADA, June 2017 to
January 2018 Designed, Developed, Commissioned and assisted with start-up of scale gathering
central tank battery. Project included an Allen Bradley Control Logix PLC consisting of 500+ I/O,
ProSoft Modbus card communicating with Omni Meters and Multiload PLC's. A VTScada system
was developed and commissioned using Amazon Web Services and connected to the regions
well -sites using an ATT cell network. The system currently hosts over 100 unique well -sites in
the Oklahoma region. Over cost of this project was over $600..000.
Rover PipelinemLinebreak Detection Software, December 2016 to June 2017
Designed, Developed, Commissioned and assisted with start-up of the Rover Pipeline Remote
Valve Controllers along the new pipeline. The system consisted of a mirage of calculations
running on an Emerson ROC platform. The system is currently running in over 50 safety sites
located from Pennsylvania to Michigan. Over cost of this project was $150.000.
Birch Hills County SCADA U radel, Latest Project gate: March 2017, Project
Value $30,,000. We replaced an existing SCADA system with a VTScada Btackrock Hosted
System for monitoring and control of the county water system. The customers biggest
complaint from the last SCADA provider was their lack of support. Blackrock successfully
upgraded the SCADA system on time and under budget and the customer has been delighted
with our service and support.
Town of Port McNeill, Setup SCADA host. Install PLC's at lift stations X 3 for
pump/level/generator monitoring. Setup comms to existing PLC's at water wells X 3 for
monitoring. Setup comms to existing PLC's to monitor reservoir levels X 2. Alarms, reports etc.
$40k was the overall cost of this project.
