The Challenge
Liberty Oilfield Services faced significant challenges with their previous fleet management system, including GPS drift, inaccurate IFTA mileage reporting, and insufficient customer support. These issues led to wasted time and resources, particularly during inspections or audits. Additionally, Liberty needed a robust communication system for their drivers, especially during convoys, and a reliable solution to improve driver safety in hazardous environments.
About The Customer
Liberty Oilfield Services, headquartered in Denver, CO, specializes in hydraulic fracturing and engineering services for exploration and production (E&P) companies in the oil and gas industry. With a diverse fleet of over 1,250 vehicles and 2,100 drivers, Liberty operates in some of the most hazardous environments in the United States. The company has a strong focus on adopting new technologies to enhance their services and increase return on investment for their customers. Liberty values accurate data to improve their fleet division and ensure safety, efficiency, and sustainability in their operations.
The Solution
Liberty Oilfield Services partnered with Samsara to implement a comprehensive fleet management solution. The Samsara Driver App facilitated easy communication with drivers, while the AI Dash Cams provided visibility into road conditions and driver behavior. The integrated platform allowed for seamless ELD compliance and accurate GPS data, eliminating mileage inaccuracies and saving administrative time. Additionally, the dual-facing AI Dash Cams helped protect valuable assets and develop a safety program with gamified safety scores to engage drivers. Samsara's 24/7 support ensured smooth implementation and ongoing assistance.

Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
