Yokogawa Receives EPMS and SCADA Order for Egypt’s National Gas Grid

– Expanding our control business in the midstream oil and gas market –

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6841) announces that its
subsidiary, Yokogawa Middle East & Africa B.S.C.(c), has received an
order from the state-owned Egyptian Natural Gas Company (GASCO),
operator of the country’s national gas grid, to supply a gas pipeline
management and control system.

GASCO is in the business of transmitting and processing natural gas. The
company is currently engaged in a project to replace the management and
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems at two central
grid control centers that manage and control the flow of gas through a
7,000 km network of gas trunklines, a critical component of Egypt’s
infrastructure.

This order is for a Yokogawa Enterprise Pipeline Management Solution
(EPMS), a suite of applications that manage functions such as delivery
scheduling and gas storage, and the company’s FAST/TOOLS SCADA software,
which will monitor and control the gas pipeline and related equipment
such as compressors. The EPMS supplements a basic pipeline management
system with specific gas and liquid applications that enable a pipeline
operator to manage delivery contracts and associated logistics in a time
and energy efficient manner. With the SCADA system covering monitoring
and control, the EPMS will integrate the management of the SCADA data.

Yokogawa won this order thanks to GASCO’s positive and fair evaluation
of the EPMS’s device scheduler and other operation management
applications that ensure the efficient transportation of natural gas,
and the high reliability of Yokogawa’s FAST/TOOLS SCADA system, which
can be configured for quadruple redundancy and is based on the latest
industrial standards. Delivery of these systems will be completed by
September 2019.

Hideki Matsubayashi, a Yokogawa vice president who is chief executive
for the Middle East, Africa and India and who also serves as president
of Yokogawa Middle East & Africa B.S.C.(c), had the following to say
about this order: “We are very honored that this customer has chosen,
based on an assessment of our technical expertise and products, to award
us the order for this critically important project. We are committed to
making full use of our rich experience in this field to bring this
essential infrastructure project to a successful conclusion.”

In accordance with its Transformation 2017 mid-term business plan,
Yokogawa targets the entire energy supply chain. The company is
strengthening its efforts to drive up sales by providing solutions for
oil and gas pipelines and other midstream applications. Yokogawa plans
to expand its control business in the midstream applications segment.
