Field Data Capture Application

The Field Data Capture Application (FDCA) by Digital Oil & Gas Solutions is a software solution designed for oil and gas companies of all sizes. According to the vendor, the FDCA enables real-time monitoring of oil and gas well activity, providing accurate data insights for informed decision-making. This application is utilized by oil and gas operators, production engineers, field technicians, environmental health and safety (EHS) managers, and operations managers.

Key Features

Automated calculation of oil and gas production: According to the vendor, the FDCA app allows users to input metrics for oil and gas production and automatically calculates the daily production volume of gas or oil. The app stores established benchmarks for future dates, reducing the need for manual calculations. Users can select parameters such as orifice, tube size, coefficient, temperature, pressure, and cycles for the calculations.

Capture of venting, cycle times, and site production for regulatory reporting: The FDCA eliminates manual calculations and on-site visits by providing a 30-day production management history review of assets and on-site activities. Critical information related to venting, cycle times, and site production is consolidated for data accuracy and optimized site performance. The app presents data sets and metrics specific to the type of well being monitored.

Seamless integration with Scada-Lite: According to the vendor, the FDCA can function as a standalone application or integrate with Scada-Lite. When synchronized with Scada-Lite, all data is automatically transferred and updated, eliminating manual data entry or updates.

Automated calculation of tank production: The FDCA app calculates tank productivity based on sensor data, stick measurements, or tank size tape volumes (height, capacity), and strap factor. Tank volume is evaluated using the top gauge metric to prevent values exceeding the tank's capacity.

Inspection questionnaires for AST, Containment Area, and maintenance activities: Users can conduct asset inspections using search filters and generate inspection questionnaires quickly. The app displays the ten most recent physical visits to a specific site, offering a comprehensive visit history with details on field operations and tenders. Inspection questionnaires include visit reasons, notes, directions to the site, and site inspection reports.

Ticketing system for liquid disposal, hauling, and transfers: The FDCA features an intuitive interface with user profiles, user-friendly forms, and a ticketing system. Users can create tickets for activities such as draining tanks into trucks. The platform distinguishes between oil and water tanks, providing appropriate ticket types for different liquids. The app recalculates produced barrels based on tank volume and adjusts results considering tank drainage tickets.
