1. A method for determining conflicts in updates of a hydrocarbon control system, the method comprising:

obtaining a first configuration and a second configuration from different locations in the hydrocarbon control system;

comparing the first configuration and the second configuration to determine if differences are detected;

if differences are detected:

using conflict resolution techniques to automatically determine a resolved configuration; and

updating a global configuration of the hydrocarbon control system with the resolved configuration; and

if no differences are detected:

updating the global configuration of the hydrocarbon control system with the first configuration or the second configuration.
