Saudi Arabian Oil Company, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, has been assigned a patent (11,290,566) developed by Al-Ismail, Adnan M., Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, for “replicating data from isolated network.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method: A number of process information (PI) tags are mapped to data elements of a local PI server of an isolated network. At a first time, a first application is executed at the isolated network to read and concatenate data on the isolated network corresponding to the tags and to replicate the data elements corresponding to temporary storage on the local PI server. A replicated data package is generated by the first application using the temporary storage. The replicated data package is transmissible through a firewall of a corporate network different from the isolated network. At a second time after the first time, a second application is executed at the corporate network to read data elements from the replicated data package corresponding to counterpart tags of the tags and to replicate the data elements according to instructions in the counterpart tags.”

The patent application was filed on September 28, 2020 (17/035,084).
