Groundwater monitoring at licenced facilities and other government-sanctioned activities has been ongoing for decades. Over time, many of these monitoring networks have evolved into substantial systems requiring routine sampling and maintenance. With that, the annual costs associated with this approval-required monitoring can be substantial.
As you start planning for your 2021 monitoring program, have you ever wondered:
- “How much monitoring is enough? Am I over-monitoring?
- Is the data I am collecting helpful, useful, accurate?
- Is there a way I can right-size my monitoring to meet regulatory needs and corporate goals for cost reduction?”
Oil and gas water monitoring
Experience has shown that many facilities have more than enough monitoring to cover the need. Significant opportunity exists at most operating facilities to pull-back on current water monitoring efforts and ultimately reduce costs (see example in sidebar).
Integrated Sustainability’s approach to monitoring system optimization is based on identifying only the infrastructure needed to fulfill regulatory needs and corporate comfort levels. Site conditions play a critical role in any monitoring activities, so it is important to:
- Know your site
- Understand where concerns may exist
- Understand how those concerns may turn into issues
We know risk, and our goal is to identify, reduce, eliminate, and communicate what it means to corporate liability and future costs.
Our service offering is designed to improve your monitoring efforts so that you are only monitoring what you need to monitor. Our trained subsurface specialists can look at your site and determine where and how you can reduce your program costs.
We can ensure that your programs are “smart” and are designed with the right level of detail in mind by:
- Reducing the number of wells that require regular monitoring
- Streamlining analytical programs
- Implementing digital hardware and software
Integrated Sustainability’s telemetry and data management software brand, Random Acronym, can support your water strategy and ensure that agile decisions can be made and operational risk can effectively be mitigated. Random Acronym offers FieldTracker, a streamlined, affordable, and flexible hardware and software water sensing unit designed for remote locations. The self powered telemetry hardware works with a range of sensors, including flowmeters and level sensors, automatizing the data collection and delivery. Capable of autonomous operation for up to 5 years and portable enough to easily be redeployed when needed, the hardware uses both cell and satellite to transfer data securely. FieldTracker can make remote data easy.
Let us help you right-size and re-tool your monitoring programs to drive-down unnecessary costs and achieve much needed cost-efficiencies.
We are pleased to offer a free assessment of your monitoring programs and determine where cost-savings and efficiencies may be realized.
