With natural gas prices at historic lows, operators of marginal wells are looking for ways to save. Savings are necessary in order to keep
these marginal wells producing, particularly if the acreage is being held by that production. Many of these wells also use a flow computer such as
ABB TotalFlow
or Thermo AutoPilot
for electronic gas measurement instead of using paper charts such as Barton Meters. It can be difficult to justify
the capital investment for the communication equipment required to operate the flow computer remotely along with the high costs of monthly services
associated with data and SCADA hosting.
The Marginal Well EFM Service is a low cost solution targeted at operators currently paying for their meter data to be downloaded manually each month by
physically driving to each meter. Fielding Systems is able to offer this type of service because of the cloud-based SCADA platform that we have built from the ground up.
The addition of this service simply leverages exiting infrastructure for our ScadaVisor
application, the leading web-based SCADA and remote
monitoring service in the Oil & Gas indsutry.

The Marginal Well EFM Service is comprised of two key components. VisorBridge,
the industry’s only SCADA in the cloud service and ReportVisor, the
automated report and scheduling engine. A company that receives monthly downloads from their EFM’s will continue to receive these monthly production
reports and data files, but the service is not limited to only monthly reports. Fielding Systems also delivers weekly production status reports so producers
do not have to wait until the month has completed to find out the production has fallen off 10%. On top of the cost savings on the monthly service
fees they are currently paying, companies also receive the benefit of this early detection capability.
