Asset Guardian Solutions Ltd. (AGSL) has secured a deal for a process software management toolset with an oil and gas supermajor in Perth, Western Australia, the company said in a Feb. 23 release.

The contract requires AGSL to provide Asset Guardian, a process software management toolset that protects the integrity of process control software used to operate key oil and gas assets.

Initially, Asset Guardian software will be used during the commissioning phase of a new LNG development that is nearing completion off the northwest coast of Australia. The specialist software will manage process software configuration changes and all control system hardware associated with the project. It will also provide the plant operator with a secure repository to store software files and associated data.

The contract is the third to be awarded to AGSL, which specializes in protecting companies’ process critical software assets, in Australia during the last two years.

In 2012, Woodside Energy implemented Asset Guardian to protect the process control software used to operate the company’s production facilities. The following year, INPEX purchased Asset Guardian for its Ichthys LNG Project, a $34 billion development that aims to develop the gas and condensate field in the Browse Basin offshore Western Australia.
