Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla opened the second phase of the predictive maintenance project, which is part of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system at 102 natural gas stations.

This came during his inauguration of the first portable station for converting and maintaining vehicles to run on natural gas.

This project is a part of the Ministry’s strategy to develop and modernize the petroleum sector by expanding digitalization applications, especially operation systems.

El Molla has listened to a presentation by the Chairman of the Gastec Abdel Fattah Farahat about the process of applying predictive maintenance technology in SCADA system through automatic follow up processes that monitor the performance of the equipment and detect any problem that could occur.
