Calculated right at the pad
Optimisation at the well level
IDT Edge is an industrial computer at the pad that calculates the well's operating mode and picks an action right at the equipment.
Request a demo
A well pad has no computing capacity and an unstable link to the control centre, and one engineer looks after 100 to 300 wells, so problems are caught late. IDT Edge calculates each well's operating point right at the pad: rates between tests, problem diagnostics and ESP frequency. The calculations keep running even when the link to the control centre drops.
Your engineer gets a ready recommendation instead of a stream of raw data.
IDT Edge polls the drives, the well test unit, the chemical injection unit and the substation, estimates each well rate between tests and diagnoses the pumps.
Data
Second-by-second data from the ESP control station, telemetry, the metering unit, and IDT Edge's own high-frequency signals.
Validation
Signal cleanup, stream synchronisation and data-quality checks.
Digital twin
Calculating the well's state: PVT, hydraulics, ESP and motor models, actual inflow.
Diagnostics
Finding problems: pump-off, negative trends, degradation, anomalies.
Optimisation
Picking an action for production and energy: frequency, run/accumulation time, energy efficiency.
Action
A recommendation to the production engineer or a closed loop through the control system, with the result verified.
You set a scenario (mode, complications, constraints), run it forward in time and apply actions: ESP frequency, accumulation time for intermittent operation, reagent dosing. The well's response shows up straight away. A separate mode, IDT Sandbox live, lets you trigger pump-off, a rising gas factor or hydrate formation on the well at the push of a button and watch in real time how IDT Edge detects it and which action it answers with. All of it before anything is tried on real equipment.
The ready-made apps cover complication diagnostics, mode optimisation and dosing. On top of them, the process engineering team can add its own control programme in the same environment, with no separate infrastructure. The same code goes from a Python prototype to the industrial controller without being rewritten: IDT Sandbox, then a test bench, then the pad.
The core of the package is virtual metering: continuous data on liquid and gas rate. Every other app plugs in as an option.
Slug, stratified and annular flow regimes.
Pump-off.
The share of gas and water in the flow.
Finding the well's potential.

Models of hydrate and wax/asphaltene formation.
Holding the target production rate.
Synchronising run cycles across wells.
Cutting specific power consumption.
Dosing on feedback.
Test priority and timing.
Edge covers its own part of the cycle at the pad: it calculates the well's operating mode and picks the action on the spot. SCADA and the other products in the line cover the remaining steps: data collection, digital twins, choosing interventions and execution.
The device is installed on the well pad next to the equipment, in an explosion-proof design. It collects data over wired Modbus from the ESP control station, the well test unit and the chemical injection unit, and links wirelessly to the PCS and SCADA over a radio channel. The connection method can be adapted to the customer’s requirements.
We'll set up a demo on wells similar to your pad and show how IDT Edge calculates the operating point and picks an action right at the equipment.
