How Oilfield Automation Improves Field Visibility

Oilfield Automation

TankLogix is at the heart of oilfield facility automation and innovation in West Texas and New Mexico. One of the biggest advantages of the implementation of remote tank monitoring in partnership with TankLogix is the reduction in truck rolls needed to monitor and service tank battery locations. How does it work?

The concept may seem simple, but the advantages of partnering with TankLogix are borne at scale. Technologies we apply at tank battery sites take your operation further than antiquated manual tank gauges that have to be read in person. Our integration is also a step beyond simple one-way data monitoring. We use advanced instrumentation with diagnostics and troubleshooting functionality, such as guided radar and ultrasonic sensors to deliver measurement at 0.1” resolution leaving no room for doubt.

Going beyond tank level sensors, we also implement custom SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) through the Ignition platform. TankLogix exists to reduce the high burden of data management and IT costs associated with SCADA implementation. There are so many benefits of taking your operation beyond tank gauges to full automation/SCADA services. 

Imagine being able to easily connect with,collect and analyze data from all of your field devices over our secured network. We provide all of the cloud-based infrastructure and reliability while you get to focus on what you do best – reduce costs needed to maintain your operational assets in the field with remote visibility, alarms, and more 24/7.

If you’ve made it this far, chances are you have already worked numbers on the massive upfront costs of implementing a SCADA system in-house. That’s why TankLogix’s shared cost model is a key market advantage. Let’s break down the major reasons why choosing TankLogix is a win for your bottom line.

Cost Savings

This is the biggest advantage of TankLogix. Instead of the burdensome costs of purchasing, commissioning and operating servers in a secure location, we are providing the IT infrastructure needed., the upfront programmers and the continuous 24/7 support and maintenance. Even if you have  an in-house SCADA network and team, TankLogix can still consult on best practices, provide additional resources and services, or help with 3rd party integrations and M&A activities.

Advanced Reporting and Feature Set

Instead of having to hire programmers and a team to  develop features and advanced monitoring models as your operations grow, expand, or change, we are already on the leading edge of new feature development. New features roll -ut to TankLogix users as needs arise without additional charges. Plus, we have already integrated the reporting you need to quickly make SCADA services an integral part of your existing reporting structure.

API

We can integrate the data directly with  any 3rd party services such as accounting or financial software that you’re using so that there is visibility into production at all times across departments. No more endless spreadsheets, phone calls, e-mails or even texts to try to confirm data across departments.  

Redundancy

Our team has built fail-safes to make sure that any failures are addressed immediately by your team without any downtime or lag.  Your data is stored indefinitely and all TankLogix systems are SOC 2 compliant.

In-House Option

The best thing about TankLogix, aside from the shared cost savings model of implementation – you own all of your own data and local systems. If you decide to go completely in-house for your Oilfield Automation at a later date, the transition will be smooth.

TankLogix provides top-tier reliability and integrity, and we handle all of the heavy lifting of software development, network, and IT resources. The bottom line? You get to focus on production and profitability. If you’re ready to talk about your SCADA integration process, let’s get the conversation going by clicking this link.
