Edge Control Layer for Oilfield Fluids

Operational Intelligence

Built to Run When Nobody's Watching.

OI runs saltwater disposal wells and a crude-reclamation train that recovers sellable oil from oilfield sludge and BS&W — watching every sensor, applying a hardened rules engine, and taking the corrective step before an operator has to.

The Systems

Two operating systems, one control brain

Each facility type runs its own OI application. Both share the same rules engine, the same PLC/VFD control path, and the same operator interface.

Reclamation OI

Crude recovery train

Offload, jet, decant, mix, heat and Tricanter separation — sequenced automatically so sludge and BS&W come out as sales-spec crude and clean produced water.

  • Tricanter bowl speed, torque & differential control
  • Mix-tank BS&W and heat-loop temperature hold
  • Skimmer / equalization line supervision

SWD OI

Disposal well control

Injection-safety logic on live wellhead, annulus and header data — keeping every barrel inside permit while pushing throughput to the top of the allowed band.

  • Permit-aware pressure and volume guarding
  • Formation-plugging and integrity trend detection
  • Automatic VFD trim and valve isolation

OI Platform

The brain

The shared rules engine, knowledge base and PLC/VFD control layer that ties both facilities together — running at the edge, on real sensor data, with no cloud round trip.

  • Knowledge-base rules KB-1 … KB-6 plus pump-curve analysis
  • Auto-correct, alert, or isolate — per rule severity
  • Full audit log of every action the engine took

The Distinction

OI is not AI

Generic AI answers questions. Operational Intelligence runs equipment.

Generic AI

  • Trained on text; guesses at plausible answers
  • Needs a person to ask it something
  • Lives in the cloud, behind a connection
  • Produces a recommendation and stops
  • Cannot see a pressure transducer or move a valve

Operational Intelligence (OI)

  • Purpose-built industrial control on real sensor data
  • Runs continuously, unprompted, every scan cycle
  • Runs at the edge on the panel — no internet required
  • Sees the problem and takes the corrective step
  • Trims a VFD, closes a valve, or escalates to a human

See it running

The OI Dashboard is the same interface operators use in the control room: live diagnostic alerts, well tabs with full completion data, pump-curve deviation cards, and both process schematics.

Deployment & licensing

Operational Intelligence licensing & deployment inquiries are welcome — whether that is a single disposal well, a full reclamation train, or an existing panel you want brought under OI control.
