Real-time reporting for nitrogen injection operations.
In the oil industry, nitrogen or air injection is a widely used technique to reactivate wells with declining production by stimulating crude extraction through high pressure injection. However, these operations often involve complex logistical and administrative processes.
Our client, a nitrogen injection service provider, faced a major challenge: delays of up to 60 days in billing after service completion. This was caused by:
* Manual file extraction from USB drives in each injection unit
* Manual assembly and processing of source data at central offices
* Dependency on locating a PEMEX representative at the well site for document signing
To address the issue, the client required a robust solution capable of automating data collection, standardizing reporting, and generating documentation in compliance with PEMEX requirements, directly at the point of service.
SIOS developed a custom hardware and software solution tailored specifically to the operational and environmental conditions of mobile nitrogen injection units. The system includes:
* Industrial-grade PC installed inside a rugged control panel
* Custom-developed software for real-time monitoring and reporting
* Direct interface with injection instrumentation for live data capture
* Automated generation of graphical reports and service documentation on-site
* Immediate printing of documents required for PEMEX Work Order validation
All components were designed to comply with PEMEX standards, ensuring that upon completion of the injection service, all necessary documentation could be printed and signed on-site, eliminating delays.
The Benefits
* On-site, real-time review of the entire injection process
* Automatic report generation and printing immediately after service
* Significant reduction in billing lead time, improving cash flow
* Improved operational traceability and documentation accuracy
* Increased efficiency in field operations and administrative processes
Since implementation, the system has streamlined the reporting and billing workflow, enabling faster service closure and greater visibility for both the client and PEMEX.
