When it comes to boosting oil well production and operating efficiency, going digital is often the answer. This is especially true of wells that have suffered reduced production efficiency in the recent past. Going digital really does have the potential to rejuvenate production to earlier levels and beyond.

How complex and costly are your company's communication costs? If your company is part of the oil and gas industry, you likely have a complex of legacy systems mixed in with newer equipment. You are paying a premium to keep older technology running, but need that money to invest in newer technologies.

Reporting inefficiencies in the oil and gas industry contribute to soaring operational costs, increased well downtime, and costly delays in production. Inaccurate information in the field is worse than useless — it is damaging. There is no other industry that benefits more from timely and precise reporting than those involved with oil and gas projects. Incorrect numbers and erroneous reports jeopardize every phase of the complicated oil and gas production process. The solution is to correct reporting inefficiencies with oil and gas automation.

With technology increasingly constantly, it is important to find software that will work for you and your business.

How much waste is each of your sites producing? In the oil and gas industry, a typical site can produce many kinds of waste, including wastewater, vented natural gas, or flare emissions. This waste has to be disposed of, recycled, or eliminated. All of that costs money, cutting into your bottom line. Adding automation can help minimize waste and keep costs under control.

Safety is a critical factor for oil and gas well sites. If dangerous situations occur, and no one detects them, lives could be lost, people could be hurt, and extensive property damage can occur. With potential dangers, constant vigilance is critical. Well site automation can help monitor for potential problems and alert to potential threats.

The sheer demand for oil and natural gas is growing globally. On the flip side, prices are down and costs are going up. This mix is driving an increased demand for cutting costs to maximize profits from every well in the field. Modern well site automation is helping fuel the oil and gas industry.

How are your oil and gas wells performing? If you have automation in place, you would know that information without making a trip to the field. By having constant monitoring in place, and having control over most of the processes at the site, you can maximize the performance of the wells at minimal cost.

The acronym SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It refers to automation systems used in many industrial applications, including the oil and gas industry. When it comes to automating the field operations of the oil and gas industry, SCADA is the backbone that makes it all happen. It is important to understand how this technology offers the ability to control and monitor remote operations.

The oil and gas industry is feeling the pressure of depressed prices. Profit margins are being squeezed tighter and tighter. To counter this loss in profit, there is an increasing need to find cost savings wherever possible. Automation is one-way many oil and gas companies are trimming their costs.
