Abstract: Example computer-implemented methods, media, and systems for isolating an emergency within process systems of a hydrocarbon processing facility are disclosed. One example method includes receiving a drawing of multiple process systems of a hydrocarbon processing facility. A respective identifier is assigned to each of multiple drawing vectors, where each of the multiple drawing vectors corresponds to a respective component of the multiple process systems. The multiple drawing vectors are coded based on the assigned identifiers. One or more drawing vectors connected to a location of the emergency are determined from the multiple coded drawing vectors. One or more connections between the one or more drawing vectors and the location of the emergency are identified. A first isolation valve for isolation of the emergency is determined from one or more isolation valves corresponding to the one or more connections. The first isolation valve is provided for the isolation of the emergency.

Abstract: A method may include obtaining, from a user device, a request to access a control system among various control systems. The method may further include determining whether a user associated with the user device is authorized to access the control system based on user information associated with the user in a database. The method may further include generating, in response to determining that the user is authorized, a user code associated with a predetermined time period for accessing the control system. The method may further include transmitting the user code to the user device and the control system. The user code may authenticate a user session between the user device and the control system. The method further includes transmitting, in response to the predetermined time period expiring, a command that terminates the user session between the control system by the user device.

Abstract: A method of transferring process data from a secure network protected by a first firewall to an unsecure network protected by a second firewall using an existing interface is provided. The existing interface is configured to transfer the process data having a first format from the secure network to the unsecure network through the first and second firewalls. The process data further includes new data having a second format. The method includes: receiving the new data from a first application in the secure network; converting the new data from the second format to a binary format; writing the binary data to the existing interface as further process data having the first format; receiving the binary data from the existing interface; converting the binary data from the binary format to the new data having the second format; and making the new data available to a second application in the unsecure network.
