Development of an Automated Data Collection and Asset Management System for Oil & Gas Operations

Disjointed and time-consuming processes across oil well operations and asset management result in operational inefficiencies. Manual data entry at field sites causes delays and duplicate records, hindering real-time monitoring and decision-making. The client requires an automated, responsive system for real-time data capture, workflow visibility, and asset tracking to enhance operational efficiency.

A large-scale energy company specializing in upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas operations seeking to optimize workflow monitoring and asset management.

• Implement a responsive web application to enable real-time data entry and reporting from field personnel.
• Eliminate manual data entry delays by digitizing workflows related to oil well locations, properties, and asset management.
• Enhance operational transparency by providing instant access to updated data on drilling sites, assets, and personnel routes.
• Improve decision-making capabilities with integrated business intelligence and reporting tools.
• Achieve faster data retrieval through optimized caching and security via robust authorization protocols.
• Streamline pumper route planning and reduce equipment idle time to increase efficiency.

• User management system to maintain and monitor personnel profiles and activity statuses.
