SCADA & Third-Party Integrations in Oil & Gas

Efficiency, safety, uptime, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable in oil and gas operations. From remote wellheads in the Permian Basin to high-throughput gas processing facilities along the Gulf Coast, operators face a constant challenge: keeping equipment running safely and profitably in increasingly complex and often unmanned environments. At the core of this challenge is SCADA—Supervisory … Read more

3 Tips to Improve Underground Injection Control Programs

Injection wells are important in two key ways – they help us dispose of produced water, as well as implement enhanced oil recovery (EOR). At the same time, injection wells pose some risk to underground sources of drinking water (USDWs) if not managed properly. Consequently (and understandably), underground injection is highly regulated. Due to these … Read more

How to Improve Frac Tank Monitoring With Automation

Frac tanks are commonly used across the oil and gas industry during hydraulic fracturing, flowback, and produced water management. In the fracking process, they store large volumes of water, chemicals, and proppants used to create the fracturing fluid, ensuring a continuous supply to the well site. According to a report by Ceres, around 5 to 6 million … Read more
