Getting the right data, when you need it, to inform your troubleshooting and intervention strategies is key to optimizing production.

Traditional automation systems aimed at “real-time optimization” must monitor, store and transmit data constantly, requiring intensive power and computing resources at the wellhead. They are over-engineered for the average well, delivering much more data than is needed.

With right-time optimization, you get just the data needed to manage a particular asset pro-actively. We offer two options for right-time data gathering, covering the full range of moderate-to-low-producing wells with cost-effective automation strategies:

iNodes – These intelligent monitoring devices deliver the daily or hourly data you need to spot trends, track buildup problems, and plan daily maintenance priorities. You still get the same continuous monitoring as with a SCADA system, and immediate alarms when there's a problem. But you don't get data more often, and in more dense datasets, than you need it. Because iNodes can manage their monitoring and reporting duties with a self-contained power supply and downscaled computing resources, this approach to right-time data significantly lowers the cost of automation.
