vField Technology
Since 2000, vMonitor working hand in hand with our customers, has developed our own unique wireless technology, designed with your remote site in mind. Our solutions are not repackaged answers to downstream wireless solutions. The vField series of wireless sensors, remote terminal units (RTUs) and gateways can provide you with the smallest footprint of any wireless technology. Since our technology blends and is designed to package with power supplies in small concealed enclosures it does not allow easy indemnification and theft in remote areas. vField’s small, powerful and proven technology is truly unique.
vField Software
vMonitor’s TotalAccess software brings the vField to life. The program is fully integrated into our vField wireless technology and is web-based thin-client software. TotalAccess is also designed to provide data integration to existing software platforms. vField TotalAccess software is designed for well monitoring and optimization, it offers:
- Data capture engine (poll or push), real-time and non real-time
- Data reporting
- Data visualization with SCADA type interface for animation
- Alarming and reporting
- OPC interface to various third party programs (historians, DCS, SCADA and various analysis software)
- Specialized solutions designed for upstream solutions, production monitoring and optimization such as vMESP for ESP monitoring
The vField Return on Investment: Real and Immediate
vMonitor’s vField solutions provide operators with tangible cost savings and production increases which may be realized within days following system installation. In a study conducted by a leading system integrator it was found that the potential realized savings for a digital oil and gas field include:| Improved production recovery | 1 to 7% annual benefit | |
| Accelerated production | 1 to 6% annual benefit | |
| Reduction in downtime | 1 to 4% annual benefit | |
| Reduction in well workovers | Up to 30% annual benefit | |
| Increase in facility uptime | Up to 33% annual benefit | |
| CAPEX deferment | 5 to 15% annual benefit |
The study concludes that a 100,000 bbl/day field utilizing intelligent field operations can save more than $70M. Shell’s smart fields research shows digital fields can increase total oil recovery by 10% and gas recovery by 5%.
vMonitor’s wireless solutions are typically up to 70% less than traditional wired systems.
“The vField allows our clients to experience the promise of the virtual oilfield today.”
