Asset Guardian Solutions Ltd (AGSL), specialising in protecting companies’ process control software assets was awarded a second contract by an oil and gas supermajor in Perth, Western Australia.
AGSL will provide the Asset Guardian toolset with a secure repository to store back-up software files and associated data for easy access in the event of a software-related production system failure. Asset Guardian will also manage all process software configuration changes.
As the LNG project is located in “cyclone country”, communications between its onshore facilities and offshore project teams are often disrupted. AGSL is also supplying its AGSync software to ensure the integrity of software and data files in the event of communication break down.
AGSync synchronises software and data files across multiple locations and continues to operate during periods of disrupted communication, allowing all files between locations to synchronise as soon as communication links are restored.
For AGSL, the Australian oil and gas market has really taken off. The recent contract is the fourth Australian contract to be awarded to AGSL in the last three years.
