The Challenge

A major oil producer wanted to IoT-enable their infrastructure and assets but lacked the technical expertise.

About The Customer

A Global Oil Company

The Solution

Amyx+ is overseeing the RFP process and vendor selection to determine the best-in-class technologies and solutions to incorporate to retrofit their infrastructure and assets. Amyx+ is evaluating the optimal IoT devices and sensors for the extreme weather and environmental conditions; the optimal mix of standards, protocols and communication across thousands of kilometers and across other sovereign boundaries with differing teleco and cloud solutions; the IoT mesh network to support communication in areas without reliable GSM/3G/LTE/satellite coverage; remote monitoring and tracking of assets; data collection, transformation and storage in the cloud; data analytics and data visualization; and integration with other workflows and systems for escalation and job handling.

Shell uses the IoT for pipeline monitoring

Oil company Shell wants to take advantage of an internet of things (IoT) connectivity solution to improve the company’s monitoring capabilities for its operations in Nigeria.

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.
