This paper describes the automation system installed at the ARC0 Permian operated, Willard Unit CO2 flood. The automation includes a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for pump off control, shutdowns and safety/environmental monitoring of over 300 rod pumped and flowing wells. The 24 hour monitoring system along with the data obtained, provides the benefit for identifying potential well problems and quick operator response. The paper also details the customization of the operator interface.
