The control and safety in oil depots or refineries plays a vital role in providing safety for working personnel and retains the accuracy in the control and maintenance of machines and minimizes the injuries of the work personnel due to hazardous risks occurred due to human errors or natural calamities etc,. However we can find the rapid development in the field of automation in few industries traditional methods are still followed to measure the operating temperature and pressure which causes life risks to the personnel at the site. In October 2009, the Jaipur oil depot broke out with fire at Indian oil Corporation (IOC). This incident occurred when petrol was being transferred from IOC to a pipeline which caused the explosion till 3 km from the accident site this caused a death of 12 and injuries over 200. To overcome this above mentioned issues, automation of control and safety systems known as Integrated Control and Safety Systems (ICSS) are being adapted in the industries to control and maintain the safety of the huge refineries or plants. This system is the integration of both Distributed Control System (DCS) and Safety Integrated System (SIS). DCS controls and apprehend the signals coming from the field to the Field Controller Station (FCS) which is connected to the Human Interface System (HIS) placed in the control room along with DCS, SIS, and FCS connected through a communication protocol called VNETIP. SIS monitors and maintains the hazardous activities which take place at the site through an indicating beep alarm or a hazard window on the HIS. HIS is been loaded with the P & ID graphics which mocks similar to that of the signals coming from the field, making the controlling personnel easy to locate the issues which occurs at the site. This design mainly focuses on the provision of the control and safety required for maintaining and monitoring the desired temperature and pressure for the hydrocarbon basin development of the oil hill reservoirs which requires a hydraulic fracture simulation for more effective commercial production thus; ICSS plays an important role in this process
