What is SCADA in Oil and Gas Industry?

Supervisory control and data acquisition, abbreviated as SCADA, is a highly configurable set of industrial software applications that are used to support the management of almost any form of the process production. It is widely applied in the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas sectors. The technology has been in constant development for many years. The growing adoption of cloud-based services and robust investments in the pipeline infrastructure across North America is likely to boost the growth of the SCADA oil and gas market in this region during the forecast period.
