Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 14
By Nigar Guliyeva – Trend:
Kazakhstan's KazTransOil JSC has completed a project to centralize oil transportation through the company's oil pipelines by transferring dispatch functions to the Main Dispatch Office in capital - State Dispatch Office of KazTransOil JSC.
The company said that now KazTransOil company directly manages cargo flows of oil to 11 regions of Kazakhstan from Astana. This became possible thanks to SCADA system project implementation for dispatch control and traffic management, which was acquired by KazTransOil JSC in 2006.
The project allowed to update the license and hardware of the dispatch control and management system (SCADA) at the company's facilities.
The centralization of functions in the State Control Administration ensured a reduction in the levels of management of the company's transport flows from 4 to 2. The existing structure of dispatching management in KazTransOil JSC is a four-level hierarchy: local dispatch centers (TIRs), district dispatch centers, central dispatch centers and the Main dispatch office in Astana.
At present, only TIR and State Dispatch Office are represented in the structure, two levels are consistently optimized.
General Director (Chairman of the Management Board) of the company Dimash Dosanov stated that the commissioning of a modern dispatching point allows to reach a qualitatively new level of oil flow management according to world practices, which makes a weighty contribution to the maintenance of stable and safe operation of the Kazakh main pipelines system.
