Business Case overview
A US-based asset management and solutions provider partnered with an oil and gas company operating over 200 wells with diverse artificial lift types, including rod pumps, gas lift, and plunger lift. These wells varied in depths and equipment types, creating challenges in monitoring efficiency and operational performance across different sites.
To address these challenges, they needed a technology partner capable of providing a unified monitoring solution for both older and newer wells. The ideal solution would ensure real-time data collection, predictive maintenance, and seamless integration, optimizing production, reducing downtime, and enhancing overall asset management efficiency across their operations.
