The company said that the selection of OleumTech offers tighter integration across EnCana and Shell in an effort to operate multiple well sites that have been supported with multiple products from different vendors.

According to the company, leveraging the WIO System as the single-system for the ‘Last Mile’ connectivity will allow EnCana and Shell to increase productivity and improve efficiency in the hydrocarbon extraction process. The WIO System simplifies the process of remote field data collection and integration to SCADA systems.

Vrej Isa, chief operating officer at OleumTech, said: “We are excited to add Shell to our growing roster of customers. This is testimony to our continued focus to provide solutions that meet the needs of the industrial wireless sensors market and affirms our value proposition.”

The recent EnCana-Shell selection extends OleumTech’s footprint to north Louisiana and presents significant growth opportunities in this major natural gas play.
