Best Practices for Going Beyond Exception-Based Surveillance
Many O&G Operators have deployed tools that enable exception-based surveillance over the last several years, and have begun to capture and use data from equipment and wells. Alongside the advancements that these exception-based surveillance tools bring, they also add additional work to operators who must deal with a significantly increased amount of generated information. While exception-based.

Boosting Solar Site Productivity and Performance
Utility-scale solar power provides the best example of growth in the U.S. electricity sector, but it is suffering some growing pains. Many operations teams are spread thin as solar owners are adding significant capacity without expanding their staff accordingly. The expansion is fueled by a rare cluster of positive drivers — low equipment prices, cheap financing, and booming demand for renewables.

Four Steps to Becoming Proactive in Oil and Gas Operations
Your daily office is an oil field filled with hundreds of wells, each outputting massive amounts of data. So much data, that as an O&G operator we often miss signs of failure, even when there were signs in the data months in advance. With so much information coming from so many sources, as operators, we find ourselves only intervening when assets have failed, or issues are observed on daily.
