Operational Impact

[Efficiency Improvement - Production Uptime]
Cloud-based asset management significantly reduced idle times and improved asset utilization.
[Process Optimization - Real Time Asset Tracking]
The location and status of vehicles and drivers can be identified in near real-time.
[Management Effectiveness - Internal Collaboration]
Deeper integration of information across departments and business units improves internal collaboration and end-to-end customer service.

Quantitative Benefit

Davenport Energy's fleet reduced the instances of idle time over 25 minutes by 64% in the first month.
During a 22-day period, Davenport Energy’s fleet reduced excessive idle events from 326 instances to 117 instances of idling for more than 25 minutes. For the next 22-day period, idle events continued to reduce from 117 instances to just 60 instances.
Davenport Energy were able to reduce excessive idle time by 80% using FleetOutlook in less than three months.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless

One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.

Predictive Maintenance for Gas Pipeline Compressors

CPG had a compression asset failure that interrupted service and had the potential to create customer dissatisfaction.

E.ON Gets Faster, Lower Cost Cycles with OpFlex Solutions

E.ON's plants ran 4000+ hours per year, now see fewer than 1000+ hours of profitable operation. E.ON needed a fast, reliable and low-cost cycle plants.

Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level

DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.

Shell uses the IoT for pipeline monitoring

Oil company Shell wants to take advantage of an internet of things (IoT) connectivity solution to improve the company’s monitoring capabilities for its operations in Nigeria.

Remote Wellhead Monitoring

Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
