Oil & gas

Tank levels and wellsites, without the drive.

Oil, fuel and water tank levels, wellsite pressures and pipeline points read remotely — and delivered to the SCADA your operators already watch.

Where it’s deployed

From the tank to the control room.

Sensors from the manufacturers that suit each site, LoRaWAN or IoT SIMs chosen per location, and every reading available to your SCADA.

Tank levels

Tank levels

Know what’s in every tank, from the office.

Ultrasonic, radar or pressure level sensors on oil, diesel, produced-water and fresh-water tanks report level, volume and temperature — with alerts before a tank runs dry or overfills, and deliveries scheduled on actual remaining volume.

How it works

From a sensor on the wellsite to the screen in the control room.

EdgeKinect serves every reading over Modbus TCP, DNP3 or Sparkplug B — no new screens for operators, no scripting, no duplicate sensors.

  1. Sensors in the field

    01 · Sense

    Sensors in the field

    Sensors on tanks, rivers, buildings, meters and vehicles — chosen for each reading and environment.

  2. LoRaWAN or IoT SIMs

    02 · Connect

    LoRaWAN or IoT SIMs

    LoRaWAN gateways or LTE-M, NB-IoT, 4G and 5G on our IoT SIMs — chosen per device. Most sites use both.

  3. EdgeKinect

    03 · Process

    EdgeKinect

    EdgeKinect Core decodes every reading on the gateway on site; EdgeKinect Vision runs dashboards and alerts in our cloud or on your servers.

  4. Your dashboards & systems

    04 · Act

    Your dashboards & systems

    Live dashboards and alarms for your team, and the same data in SCADA, historians or the cloud.

The challenge

Remote sites. Routine trips.

  1. 01

    Truck rolls to read gauges

    Crews drive to remote tanks and wellsites just to check a level or a pressure that hasn’t changed.

  2. 02

    Run-outs and overflows

    A fuel tank runs dry or a produced-water tank overfills between visits, and nobody knows until it’s a problem.

  3. 03

    Remote, unattended sites

    Wellsites, tank batteries and pipeline points spread across large areas with no power and no wired network.

  4. 04

    Data that stops at the fence

    New sensors report to yet another portal instead of the SCADA your operators already watch.

The outcome

Fewer trips, earlier alarms.

  1. 01

    Tank levels on a dashboard

    Level, volume and temperature for every tank, instead of driving out to dip or read a gauge.

  2. 02

    Alarms the moment it matters

    Low and high level alerts as a tank crosses its threshold, not on the next site visit.

  3. 03

    Continuous wellsite readings

    Pressures with history, instead of spot readings on a route.

  4. 04

    Deliveries on actual volume

    Fuel scheduled on what is left in the tank, not on a just-in-case calendar.

  5. 05

    Field readings as SCADA points

    Every reading in the SCADA your operators already run — not a separate portal nobody checks.

FAQ

Oil and gas questions, answered.

What operators ask us most about tanks, connectivity and SCADA integration.

No. EdgeKinect Core, on the gateway at the site, decodes the sensor data and delivers it to the SCADA you already run over Modbus TCP, DNP3 or Sparkplug B, so field readings appear as ordinary SCADA points — and to network monitoring and cloud services at the same time, if you want them there too.
