mobile apps for energy and oil and gas industry

Operational EffectivenessBusiness ProblemCompanies always strive to be operationally as effective as possible. In this, they face certain challenges, those could be:

• Tracking the availability of rigs

• Knowing current utilization levels of rigs

• Sales prospecting

• Trip routing with driving directions

How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:A mobile app can provide an interactive map that displays the location and status of all working oil & gas drilling rigs in the US. There are organizations that conduct ongoing survey of drilling contractors and oil & gas operating companies. They publish results of those surveys on daily basis. The results of the surveys can be showcased in the form of an interactive map. Using this, companies can easily keep a track on the availability of rigs in nearby places.

This tool can help in taking much more informed decisions, thereby increasing operational effectiveness.

Day to Day Conversions in Oil and Gas Exploration and DrillingBusiness ProblemWorkers involved in oil and gas exploration and drilling have to do complex and lengthy calculations on a daily basis. The requirements to do the calculations arise while on the work and are needed to be done immediately. The areas of conversion include Crude Oil, Ethane, Butane, Petroleum Coke and many more.

Energy, Oil & Gas Industry

How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:A mobile app may include an interface that contains frequently used calculations in day-to-day drilling and oilfield operations. The calculations may include a unit converter, kill mud weight, pump output, average hole size, wireline struck point, and pipe tally with pipe specification. The app may support many units such as inches or millimeters; feet or meters; pounds per gallon or grams per cubic centimeter, barrels or cubic meters, etc.

The app can also help in calculating aspects like Total Flow Area and Total Ports as well as perform Hydraulics Analysis.

Helping the Oilfield Cementing CommunityBusiness ProblemThe oilfield cementing community has long faced difficulties in facilitating volume calculations. In the past, they were performed using engineering tables, paper and a calculator. Due to the calculations being conducted manually, the precision of results were not very high.

How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:A mobile app that assists in conducting volume calculations can be a great help to the oilfield cementing workers. The app may provide with users the ability to calculate the annular volume between open hole or casing and the inner casing, drill pipe or tubing, and calculate the metal displacement volume of drill pipes and tubings. Such methodical and accurate calculations increase the overall precision levels, thereby increasing efficiency for workers in the oil and gas industry.

Facilitating Oil Field Production OperationsBusiness ProblemPumpers working in the oil field production areas spend hours each day recording official data into spreadsheets. Once recorded, the information is relayed to operators over phone or fax. This traditional and inefficient method of oil field production management has resulted in loss of millions in revenue for oil companies.

How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:A mobile app can be introduced aimed at helping oil field production areas. The app can help pumpers manage their wells more efficiently. It will provide a visual interface which helps in collecting tank and gauge real-time data. Once the data is collected, it can be transmitted to the office easily, thereby eliminating paper forms. The tank and gauge data can also be plotted, which can assist in drawing an analysis.


The real-time data transmission functionality can be a great help to all the stakeholders as the data can be transmitted to other field personnel, managers, and operators. As the operators and managers know well about the data, they can take actions quicker.

Field Enablement AppsBusiness ProblemOil & Gas field operations require extensive planning, monitoring, and control mechanisms to be built into their processes. The workers operating in the field can significantly benefit from mobile apps that facilitate their daily operations.

How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:A field enablement app may have a list of wells that are associated with the user. With that easily accessible list, the field operator can conveniently extract the information he/ she is looking for. Such a list can also help them figure out how to plan the day and which wells to concentrate on first. In addition, the app can include an interactive map that helps workers figure out routes and well locations. The app may also showcase measurements of production and downtime in a graphical manner. This will assist field operators in analyzing data.

Managing Health, Safety, and Environmental RiskBusiness ProblemThe workers in Energy, Oil & Gas industries operate under hazardous situations. They have to be extremely careful and rigorously follow safety procedures. The operations field is a dynamic environment and the situation can drastically change in a short span of time. In such a scenario, it is important that the changing situation is quickly assessed and reported to the central office. This will help the central office take the required course of action.

How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:Mobile apps can facilitate management of health, safety, and environmental risk in real time. Using such apps, a worker can quickly and easily record safety observations in the field. The observations could be in the form of a photo and location of hazards, or any textual information. Once the observation is recorded, it can automatically sync to an online database, when the device is in network range, and anyone can access it remotely.

The app can also have several other functionalities including basic safety training, monitoring pressure levels inside field equipment etc.
