Comprehensive Fully Remote Asset Monitoring System
Digital Oil & Gas Solutions’ Well Manager platform delivers a low-cost, cloud hosted asset monitoring and control solution. With easy implementation and use, customers can cut operating costs up to 50%, reduce downtime, and mitigate environmental risks.
It`s a tailored industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) tool that harnesses cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to deliver real-time insights. These insights help to quickly identify assets that require attention, preventing failures, reducing manpower requirements, and improving asset performance.
Net result: Higher production and lower cost per BOE.
Our fully integrated remote asset monitoring system and services include:
Full installation of Bluetooth IoT sensors at the asset
Secure cloud storage with dashboard accessibility from mobile devices and computers
Battery powered (solar recharging) edge gateway with cellular and satellite capabilities
C1D1 and C1D2 certifications
Dashboard and field maintenance training
Customizable settings for reporting and alert/alarm thresholds
Digital Field Data Capture System
Digital Oil & Gas Solutions' Field Data Capture Application (FDCA) provides an alternative option when the economics do not support the use of sensors. Key metrics that can be manually collected include chart meters, daily comments, downtime, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data, fuel usage, maintenance, reason for visit, run tickets, treatments, and water draws. This bolt-on option can be fully integrated within our Well Manager solution to provide complete visibility of all assets.
Our FDCA solution and services include:
iOS, Android, and HTML versions
30-day rolling grid for entry
Offline capabilities for remote data capture where connectivity isn’t available
Prebuilt site inspection forms with the ability to add custom forms
Industry grade calculations of meter and tank volume
Business intelligence (BI) reporting package
