Page 7: Benefits Of Remote Monitoring Mid Con Digital Oilfield Conf August 15 2012

Benefits of Remote Monitoring

Reduce downtime duration; increase

production

Reduce spill frequency and liability

through monitoring and alarms

Reduce safety liability (H2S exposure,

tank climbing)

Optimize field operations

Pumpers/Field Personnel

“Forewarned is Forearmed”

Plan day and route based on

data

Pump by exception

Alarms/Callouts

Contract Pumpers

Reduce mileage

Reduce safety exposure

Page 14: Benefits Of Remote Monitoring Mid Con Digital Oilfield Conf August 15 2012

Engineers

Easy access to trends

Identify growing problems

e.g. paraffin

Monitor production

equipment

e.g. rod pumps, ESP’s,

compressors

Management/Marketing/Admin

Overview of production

vs. expectations

EFM and LACT data for

marketing,

transportation and

allocation

Direct data entry into

corporate systems

Page 16: Benefits Of Remote Monitoring Mid Con Digital Oilfield Conf August 15 2012

Economics of Remote

Monitoring

Ideal RM Site

Isolated or

Remote Location

Important:

High Producer

High Exposure: H2S or

Environmental

History of problems

High fluid to tankage

ratio

Page 17: Benefits Of Remote Monitoring Mid Con Digital Oilfield Conf August 15 2012

Quantify the Benefits

Benefits are probabilistic

(If you knew which one site would go down,

you’d just monitor that one!)

Apply across enough sites to get the broader

benefits

Company-wide deployment

Use your actual downtime and spill history to

estimate improvements
