KMK Pipeline Success Story

The KMK MFM pipeline project involved upgrading the SCADA system for Pakistan's largest pipeline network spanning 1500 km from Karachi to Macchike. The $4 million upgrade project extracted the old pipeline system and installed a new one without interrupting operations over 2006-2008. It addressed non-uniformities in the pipeline control and measurement systems installed over decades by upgrading outdated equipment and implementing new measurement and control techniques.

KMK MFM Oil Pipeline Project Description


ENGINEERING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT The KMK MFM pipeline covers 1500 km from
Karachi to Macchike and is Pakistan’s largest
pipeline network. The pipeline is managed by 131
Remote Telemetry Unit stations, 11 pumping
systems, and PARCO required a system revamp
to improve performance. This required extracting
the old pipeline system and installing a new one
without interrupting running operations.

Location
● Spanning Sindh and Punjab, Pakistan

Client
PARCO

Date The SCADA system upgrade was a geographical


challenge because of the scattered nature of the
2006 - 2008
systems. The current system was studied,
Project Cost evaluated, and a new system was installed
according to the faults found. The systems were
4 million USD
not uniform along the length of the pipeline, as
Services they were installed over the course of many
decades. The system had to be brought to
● Dismantling, rewiring, and relocation of
uniformity through upgrades of all outdated
control panels
equipment and measurement and controlling
● Development and supervision of site data
gathering techniques.
● Development of system functional design The multiple delivery points and storages had to
specifications (FDS) be evaluated to maintain inventory balance, and
● Development of hot cutover methodology correct mass discrepancies at both ends.
● Supervision of system integration & panel
building
● Development of Factory Acceptance Test
● Supervision of system deployment at site
● Supervision of site acceptance testing (SAT)
