“…Many case studies in the literature that focus on risk analysis and assessment in the oil and gas sector, such as in the studies of Shah et al [63], Khadem et al [64], and Zand [65], have proved that risk identification and resource allocation are the basis of the risk management process and the key to the protection action plan. According to Shah et al [63], constructing new oil and gas pipelines (OGPs) without studying the potential risk factors (RFs) that influence the safety of these pipes creates time and expense overruns in these projects. In the field of oil and gas, to prevent project failure, it is vital to appropriately manage the related risks [64].…”

The oil and gas (O&G) industry is the engine of the global economy. Oil and gas production passes through axes related to exploration, research, extraction, transportation, and finally the final manufacturing of energy products. All these stages permeate some risks that threaten both the human factor and the material factor. The oil industry merged with the fourth technological industry 4.0, which included multiple technologies and systems, the most important of which is the cyber-physical system (CPS), which some researchers have named petroleum cyber-physical systems if it is embodied within this industry. CPSs are collaborative systems formed of autonomous and smart devices that can handle data flows and activities while maintaining integrated physical objects. Several risks confront the energy field, with the potential to interrupt critical supply lines, hurt the environment, and trigger a financial catastrophe. In the field of O&G, there are very few scientific studies that are exposed to risks in a complementary and comprehensive manner, including only those that focus on cyber-attacks and their causes. There is a lack of comprehension and in-depth studies of all types of threats in all their aspects that surround cyber-physical systems within this field. Some risk classifications are based on internal and external risks, while others are based on the influencing and causative aspects in a general way. This study deals with the classification of risks: 1) classification of risk for the global industry of O&G. 2) in terms of the fact that the cyber-physical system is the most important component in the O&G industry and that these risks are either physical, cyber, or related to permissibility and authorization in the O&G field. A security approach is also presented that leads to mitigating the impact of risks in oil and gas zones.

“…Underground oil and gas pipelines play an indispensable role in the construction of the national economy as the essential equipment for the transportation of oil and gas fields (Shah et al, 2022). These pipelines are responsible for transporting oil and gas from the source to where it is needed; however, pipeline safety is of great concern due to the flammable and explosive nature of oil and gas.…”

INTRODUCTION： With the continuous development of oil and gas pipeline network monitoring and control technology, the need for data transmission and communication is becoming more and more prominent. In this context, OPC UA has attracted wide attention. This study aims to explore the application of OPC UA in data forwarding for oil and gas pipeline network monitoring in order to improve the efficiency, reliability and security of data transmission.PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of OPC UA in oil and gas pipeline network monitoring and to verify its performance in data forwarding through empirical studies. By gaining an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of OPC UA, it aims to provide a more advanced and efficient monitoring data transfer solution for the oil and gas industry.METHOD: The study adopts a combination of field monitoring and laboratory simulation. First, the essential characteristics and requirements of monitoring data in oil and gas pipeline networks were collected. Subsequently, a monitoring system with OPC UA as the communication protocol was established and field tested. In the laboratory environment, data transmission scenarios under different working conditions were simulated, and the performance of OPC UA under different conditions was analyzed.RESULT: The field monitoring results show that the data transmission efficiency is significantly improved by using OPC UA as the communication protocol for data forwarding in oil and gas pipeline network monitoring. Meanwhile, the system performs well in different environments with high reliability and security. The laboratory simulation results further verify the stability and adaptability of OPC UA under complex working conditions.CONCLUSION: OPC UA is an effective communication protocol that can meet the data transmission requirements for oil and gas pipeline network monitoring. Its efficient, reliable, and secure characteristics make it an ideal choice for improving the communication performance of monitoring systems in the oil and gas industry. The empirical results of this study provide reliable technical support for the oil and gas industry in the field of data transmission and a vital reference for the optimization and upgrading of monitoring systems in the future.
