This paper discusses the Stingray Pipeline automated measurement and control system installed by Teledyne Geotech early in 1976. The system includes computer control and monitor of two Stingray natural gas compressor stations with a communications interface between the stations and the Stingray gas control center (GCC) located in Houston, Tex. Each station contains turbine/compressor units, with one station located onshore and the other station being an offshore facility. Included is a description of the system, the system functions and capabilities, and interrelationships between the stations and GCC. Advantages and disadvantages of the system are also discussed.
