OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

The alarm shows a trip. Not what happens next.

Real-time equipment status for production ops and maintenance, built from the permit comms and radio calls already in use.

Most facilities are running on data that is hours old.

Across the oil and gas industry, the gap between what the control room knows and what is actually happening on the facility remains wide.

$170K/day

average cost of unplanned production equipment downtime per asset in oil and gas

55%

of offshore and onshore maintenance events are reactive -- planned maintenance compliance remains critically low

22%

of total maintenance lead time lost to permit-to-work process delays in upstream facilities

Three breakdowns that compound every rotation.

The Production Deferral Blindspot

When a compressor or injection pump trips offline, the control room sees the alarm. What they do not see is who has been dispatched, what has been found, and whether the repair is active or waiting on a part.

"I had a compressor offline for 11 hours. For the first 6, I was getting updates by radio from the operator on rounds. The CMMS entry came three days later."

Production Superintendent

The Permit-to-Work Information Gap

PTW systems log when a permit is raised and closed. They do not capture the actual condition of the equipment between raise and close: whether the job is active, waiting on parts, delayed by isolation, or complete but not yet dossered.

"A permit can be open for 72 hours and I have no structured information about what's actually happening on that job. The live status exists on radio and WhatsApp. Not in any system."

Maintenance Superintendent

The Crew-Change Maintenance Handover

On rotating crew schedules, incoming crews inherit open work orders, deferred maintenance, and borrowed parts situations that were verbally handed over or exist in a supervisor's notebook.

"We spent the first day and a half of every crew change reconstructing what was deferred, what was borrowed, and what was waiting on a critical spare."

Asset Manager

A live equipment status board built from field communication.

Every status update sent over WhatsApp, radio, or email becomes a tile on this board. Operations knows what is available right now: not what was available an hour ago.

The repair gets reported. The record writes itself.

Field communication flows through Opsima and becomes a structured work order automatically. No forms. No data entry. No end-of-shift catch-up.

What changes when the control room and maintenance share one source of truth.

Compressor offline for 11 hours. Control room informed by radio every 2 hours
Live repair status visible to control room from moment of report: attending crew, fault found, parts status
PTW open for 72 hours with no structured, visible progress
Permit-linked job status captured from field communication: active, waiting, or complete
Crew-change handover relies on outgoing crew's verbal summary
Incoming crew opens dashboard showing all open work, deferred items, and borrowed critical spares
Maintenance event enters SAP PM 3 days after it happened
SAP records populated in real time from field messaging at time of event
MTTR for rotating equipment calculated from incomplete records
MTTR, MTBF, and production deferral hours calculated continuously from captured communication
Planned maintenance compliance below 65%. Root causes unknown
PM compliance gaps traced to specific equipment classes, shifts, and delay causes from structured data

Day one of every rotation starts with reconstruction.

What was deferred. What was borrowed. What is still waiting on a part. Opsima makes all of it visible before the incoming crew reaches the control room.

Overlays your existing control and asset systems. Live in 3 days.

Opsima does not replace SAP PM, Maximo, or your DCS. It captures unstructured field communication and feeds structured records back in.

Integrates with SAP PM, Maximo, AVEVA Operations Control, OSIsoft PI

Maintenance records auto-structured from field radio and permit communications. No parallel data entry.

No new hardware on the facility

Opsima reads existing communication channels. No sensors, no wiring, no facility modification.

Works for offshore, onshore, and pipeline operations

All facility types supported from the same platform.

Live in 3 days

No maintenance window required. Connect to existing communication channels around live operations.

Questions from operations and maintenance teams

How does Opsima interact with our Permit-to-Work system?
Opsima captures job status between permit raise and close from field communication. It does not replace the PTW system but adds visibility into what is actually happening during the permit lifecycle.
Does it work for offshore installations with limited or intermittent connectivity?
Yes. Opsima processes communication data asynchronously. Radio logs and messages are captured when connectivity is available.
Can it track maintenance status for safety-critical equipment separately?
Yes. Safety-critical equipment can be flagged for priority tracking and separate reporting.
How does it handle multi-vendor maintenance contractors on the same facility?
All maintenance communication is captured regardless of contractor. Attribution is maintained in reporting.
What does implementation look like on a live production facility?
No shutdown or maintenance window required. Opsima connects to existing communication channels. First structured data within 72 hours.

Real-time equipment visibility for your production facility. Live in 3 days.

No new hardware. No disruption to SAP, Maximo, or your existing control systems.
