Oilfield exploitation has a history of over a hundred years. The oil extraction equipment started with the initial beam type kowtow machine, and later developed submersible electric pump oil extraction systems, screw pumping units, belt pumping units, etc. Currently, the variable frequency control system of oil extraction pumps has been widely used.

Power failures can have a significant impact on oil well production, especially during the process of restarting pumps. The oil well pumping systems currently in operation in some oil fields mostly rely on manual start-up on site. Power system failures can cause well shutdowns, and restarting requires a significant amount of manpower and time. Compared to remote start mode, manual mode takes approximately several hours to restore normal operation of the well station. This will lead to a decrease in production, resulting in significant losses due to reduced output. In addition, the pump cannot be remotely shut down in case of emergency failure. Therefore, remote operation and monitoring systems are urgently needed within the production area to remotely start and stop the system, in order to enhance production efficiency and safety. By implementing remote control in the monitoring center of the joint station/gathering station/oil production plant, time and cost can be saved, making production more efficient.
This system utilizes modern computer measurement and control, network, and communication technologies to collect data and remotely start, stop, and control oil wells at the oilfield well site.

The establishment of the oilfield data collection and monitoring system can enable the monitoring center to comprehensively understand the operating status and safety situation of the oil wells at the well site, achieve remote control and safety monitoring of the oil wells, realize on-site unmanned operation, improve the level of oil well management, and ensure safe production.

The "Yixing Digital Oilfield SCADA System" consists of a computer system, communication system, remote acquisition and control system, and on-site instruments. It can remotely monitor all oil well operating parameters, including wellhead pressure, pump voltage, current, speed, torque, etc., from the monitoring center, and remotely start, stop, and adjust the speed of the pump, monitoring the speed and working status of each well's pump; Equipped with one click intelligent start/stop pump function, wellhead overpressure interlock protection function, capable of reflecting the action and alarm signals of remote station frequency converter, and various combination reset signals. In case of communication line or RTU (remote terminal unit) failure, it can provide local on-site operation; It has three working modes: local/remote/manual; You can choose to control it through the touch screen at the well station, remote control from the monitoring center, or control it through the frequency converter panel; Has a WEB query/data sharing interface.
