The platform offers data management, with a centralized platform to shape the large amount of data generated from production operations into valuable insights. The analyzed data and results are displayed on one screen, which reportedly improves productivity by 70%, by reducing the need to search and calculate data.
Its analytics tooling processes data in real-time or near-real-time, then augments it with smart alerts, basic and advanced analytics, simulation tools, and AI/ML data science to facilitate decision-making. Alerts management and framework provide early warnings of production anomalies in near real-time.
The initial release targets upstream operations in the oil and gas industry. It delivers a range of functionalities for remote monitoring, validation of production data and digital twin delivery. The goal is to support customers and suppliers by streamlining data collection and providing self-service reporting of analytics, particularly for upstream producers and other applications where sharing large amounts of production data between business partners is required.
