Extreme Telematics Corp. www.etcorp.ca

A leader in Plunger Control Appliances, with 40,000+ installations, is creating the vision within Upstream O&G to democratize well-site automation by promoting standards for device and application management based on LWM2M technology.

Varieties of this ecosystem can be realized using Vision Edge OS and ETC’s Morpheus Edge controller, or any Linux based Edge controller for that matter. The significance of the offer is not so much the hardware-platform, but the Vision ecosystem that allows a highly secure model which facilitates LWM2M, its Object Registry which enables and enforces standardization, and device & application management.

When using the Morpheus Edge controller, end users, system integrators and application developers can leverage Docker containerization and online App Store allowing app’s from multiple domain experts, or internally created, to co-exist on a single hardware platform. The ultimate in flexibility and standards, can now be part of your Vision as well.

SCADA Hosts

Though Wonderware was our entry point to SCADA in the mid 1990's, it was really ClearSCADA in the mid 2000's that created such a broad knowledge base as market penetration began.  Forging a position in a new market against the majors like Wonderware, Cygent, iFix, RSView, Telvent, Citect, WinnCC, and other smaller players allowed great exposure to a new level of intellect in the O&G sector that encompassed field level telemetry topologies, back office integration requirements, redundancy, data reliability, efficiencies of data aggregation, alarm management, and multiple discipline domain delivery of data.  Design influence and coaching of system topology has always been a significant contributor to SCADA system success.

system integration

Without a good SI to facilitate assembly of the system components, they remain isolated and inefficient.  Having strong SI's as part of our career path, we understand the value of every size SI, from 2 guys a truck and a dog to those staffed with 1,000+ engineers capable of delivering compressor stations and gas plants as a turnkey offer.

instrumentation 

Wired and wireless instrumentation has been a career theme where we carry a lot of experience.  Pressure, temperature, tank level, a variety of primary technologies of gas and liquid flow measurement; both custody and non-custody transfer.

artificial lift

Since the mid-2000's when the CBM market softened and shale gas created a revolution, there have been great advances in the artificial lift market place.  Traditional EFM/RTU's became enhanced with applications such as plunger lift optimization and gas lift where almost no code was written and the average field tech could commission an entire well pad.  Prior to this PCS, Ferguson Beauregard and a dozen other dedicated controller manufacturers commanded this market and would connect serially to an EFM for rate.  The advent of combined full function controllers such as ABB, Emerson, SchneiderElectric, Thermo and others have driven efficiencies to an all time high which worked out well for the lean period beginning 2014.  As the market turned again softening the NGL market, the price of oil hit record highs which drove the necessity of more elaborate Rod Pump Control (RPC) using more efficient and cost effective VFD's which drove further improved efficiencies in this realm of artificail lift. 

field automation

Many years spent launching the SCADAPack to local and domestic markets provided a strong yet diverse competitive knowledge base of market players such as Emerson ROC/FloBoss, ABB TotalFlow, Thermo Flow Automation, Rockwell, Yokogawa, Modicon, IDEC, Dynamic Flow Computer, QLogix by FlowData (now Lavoro Tech) and others.

Wireless

We have a strong background in the competitive landscape of wireless for last mile and traditional local field instrument networks with both proprietary and standards based instrument protocols such as WiHart/ISA100 and recently into IoT/IioT.

Wireless instrumentation come in the form of self powered wireless instruments and also wireless I/O that can make most any instrument wireless.  There are a number of consideration around over the air protocol, interval of read/communicate and sensor type that are significant in the decision making process.
