The math of cloud mobility

Maybe you’re looking toward digital transformation but you’re reluctant to move past the old SCADA system on a server in the utility room. You have that one for data monitoring, a separate one for accounting, and another for remote well control.

You get different reports from every place, and your department heads waste hours and even days trying to sift through it all to add things up and try to make sense of the piles of numbers from every aspect of your organization.

Analyzing data in the Cloud

Decisions, decisions... It's mind blowing when you think about how much time most of us spend on researching different decisions today; household purchasing decisions, cooking decisions, childcare decisions, car buying decisions, vacation destination decisions, even simple things like the best way to clean something decisions. Any decisions life throws our way today we grab our phone or run to the computer to look and see what the options are, best practice, best deal and then move forward.

 

Now, think of your employees who spend hours sorting, cleaning, detailing and organizing operational data from multiple databases, locations and spreadsheets to simplify data enough to make a least one informed business decision.

 

I just gave myself heartburn thinking about that.

 

How companies operate and use their data will significantly impact how successfully (or not) they run their operations. With Emerson's DeltaV™ SaaS SCADA, we simplify the connection between sensors to get you the data you need to make better business decisions to achieve better-performing assets, streamlined compliance, and optimized resources.

Build your energy production workforce

The Great Resignation is far too real for most energy production companies to keep up with; in the past couple of years many workers are leaving old jobs to find opportunities that are better aligned to their professional and personal values and goals that usually also come with bigger paychecks, more benefits and even larger promises of bright days ahead.

Some people have left the oil and gas production industry all together to take a new path that isn't as volatile or have joined organizations that don't trigger extended family meltdowns at holiday dinners because select narratives don't support oil and gas production.

These are the same types of pressures on people as they start their career that usually pushes them away from the energy sector all together into something 'safer' or what they have been told is more socially acceptable also add to the workforce shortage.

Autonomous rod pump is here

More aspects of oil and gas operations are joining the autonomous operations revolution with AI. Now the iconic rod pump is enabling significant improvements with its operations regarding efficiency, safety and production with autonomous actions in DeltaV SaaS SCADA.

The sun is actually rising on a new rod pump era with Emerson's DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Autonomous Rod Pump that is now changing the way producers and operations work each day for the better.

What was once endless trips to the well site with only two typical outcomes, both of which are a problem: It’s working fine, so no trip was needed; or it’s been down for two days and someone should’ve been out there to make repairs and restore production—or clean up a spill—hours, or days ago.

Why centralizing data in the cloud matters

 

If your company isn't centralizing its data you may be missing out on increasing productivity in your business.

 

Centralizing data means putting all your operational data into one single place. By consolidating data, your authorized company employees will have quick and easy access from anywhere. All that will be required is a secure internet connection.

 

Emerson's DeltaV SaaS (Software as a Service) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) helps your operations compile data from any digital monitoring hardware via gateways that support various protocols into a single centralized cloud location in a centralized data management system. From a single source, we can deliver real-time data to your computer or mobile device that allows authorized end-users to actively see the information you decide is relevant to each person or role within your organization.

Master configuring asset alarms in DeltaV SaaS SCADA

Gas distribution Safety builds customer trust

For gas regulators, the need to replace IT systems can be for various reasons. Their system no longer serves their business operations, wants to launch new initiatives, or unexpected events make them re-evaluate the need for a reliable backup system.

According to local power companies, more than 4.4 million customers were without power in the winter of 2021 deep freeze in Houston, Texas. Cold weather shut natural gas production and pipelines, which refineries use in power generation. Widespread power outages and instability of external power supply forced shutdowns across the state.
