Case Study: Petrolog remotely manages oil wells and fleet devices with Balena

Petrolog, Remotely Managing Oil Wells With Balena.io

Petrolog, an oil and gas IoT provider based in Houston, TX, needed a better way to remotely interact with and monitor its oil well controllers in the field. Using balena and balenaOS, the company wanted to reduce long trips to remote sites and make it easier to manage devices installed on wells hundreds of miles away.

With Balena, Petrolog now configures and manages its fleet remotely through the balena dashboard, allowing the team to troubleshoot, restart devices, and update code without traveling to the well. The solution has helped Petrolog do “almost everything remotely,” accelerate prototyping for new ideas like a thermal camera system, and deploy field-tested prototypes in weeks instead of longer on-site cycles.
