Changqing Oilfield KCB Control Room Project

Large-Scale Command Console Solution for Mission-Critical Operations

Project Overview

The Changqing Oilfield KCB Control Room is a high-capacity, mission-critical operations center designed to support centralized command, real-time monitoring, and collaborative decision-making for large-scale energy operations. As one of China’s key oilfield command facilities, the project required a control room console solution that could deliver long-term reliability, ergonomic excellence, and seamless system integration at scale.

KESINO was selected to design and manufacture a fully customized control room console system, tailored to the operational intensity and technical complexity of the KCB environment. The final solution supports 50 operator positions, combining straight-line and corner console layouts to maximize space efficiency and visual coordination.

Design Objectives & Challenges

The primary objectives of the Changqing Oilfield KCB project included:

• High-density seating capacity without compromising operator comfort

• Clear sightlines to large-format video walls and shared displays

• 24/7 operational reliability under continuous use

• Flexible console layout to accommodate future system upgrades

• Consistent visual language aligned with a modern, professional command center aesthetic

  
  

Given the scale of the control room and the number of operators, the console system needed to balance structural strength, cable management efficiency, and ergonomic precision—while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance.

KESINO Console Solution

Straight-Line & Corner Console Configuration

KESINO implemented a hybrid console layout combining straight consoles and corner units, enabling efficient row alignment while maintaining smooth transitions between workstations. This configuration improves communication flow between operators and enhances situational awareness across the entire control room.

Each console was precisely dimensioned to ensure uniform alignment, consistent operator reach zones, and optimal equipment placement.

Capacity: 50 Operator Seats

The control room accommodates 50 fully equipped operator positions, each designed for intensive, long-duration use. The modular console architecture allows individual workstations to function independently while remaining structurally and visually integrated within the overall system.

Ergonomics & Operator-Centered Design

Operator performance and well-being were central to the design strategy. The KESINO control room consoles feature:

• Ergonomically optimized work surface heights

• Generous legroom and under-desk clearance

• Adjustable monitor mounting options

• Rounded edges and refined surface transitions for daily comfort

These features reduce operator fatigue, support healthy posture, and improve focus during extended shifts—critical factors in high-stakes energy operations.

Integrated Cable Management & Technical Infrastructure

To support the complex technical environment of the Changqing Oilfield KCB Control Room, KESINO consoles incorporate:

• Concealed horizontal and vertical cable routing

• Dedicated equipment compartments

• Easy-access maintenance panels

• Separation of power and data pathways

This integrated cable management system ensures a clean visual environment, improves airflow, and simplifies future maintenance or system expansion—key advantages for large control room furniture installations.

Materials, Manufacturing & Durability

All consoles were manufactured using industrial-grade steel structures, precision-engineered components, and high-performance surface materials. The result is a control room console system capable of withstanding continuous 24/7 operation while maintaining structural stability and aesthetic consistency over time.

Surface finishes were selected to reduce glare, resist wear, and align with the professional visual standards of modern command centers.

Result: A Scalable, Future-Ready Control Room

The completed Changqing Oilfield KCB Control Room delivers a unified, efficient, and future-ready operational environment. With its 50-seat capacity, flexible console layout, and integrated technical infrastructure, the space supports both current operational demands and long-term growth.

This project demonstrates KESINO’s capability in delivering large-scale control room console solutions for energy, utilities, and critical infrastructure sectors—where performance, reliability, and precision design are non-negotiable.
