The rising global demand, volatile prices, and stringent environmental regulations are among the leading factors that deter the players from across the oil and gas industry to sustain profitability. It has become essential for such companies to reduce operational expenditure, optimize the performance of its industrial base assets, rightly manage their facilities, and reduce the numbers of personnel required at offshore facilities.

The company combines its expertise in automation and cloud technology to help clients streamline their fluid management operations and eliminate the chances of accidents.

Could you provide our readers with insight into SitePro?

We are a digital oilfield and fluid management company that aims at responsibly managing the world’s natural resources and mission-critical infrastructure to ensure a safe and promising environment for future generations. Since our inception, it has been our goal to help the oil and gas industry digitize their everyday operations. So, we deliver intelligent remote control solutions that enable our clients to digitally manage their field operations and backoffice responsibilities.

Our solution consists of two major elements—a reliable remote monitoring tool that detects issues within clients’ ecosystem and a remote control tool that makes necessary decisions to prevent all possible accidents and damages. It’s like having an employee that works 24/7 and remembers everything.

What are some of the challenges associated with bringing in a paradigm shift in the industry?

When it comes to business operations at a multi-million dollar facility, industry leaders find it comfortable to rely on old-school methods of physically inspecting their site operations.

Therefore, we need to create that trust among them to rely on digital solutions for managing their daily operations. Our in-depth knowledge of technology and the customer-centric approach allows us to build that trust factor between the software and the human workforce.

Our solution is not just designed to collect data and store it in an Excel file; instead, it interacts with the data to ensure the automated management of facilities. This enables our clients to improve operational efficiency, lower the risk of HSE incidents, and scale the business faster without growing the workforce in a linear fashion.
