Running Wells You Can't See
Oil and gas operations often involve equipment far from personnel, whether at remote wellpads or offshore platforms. Small issues can go unnoticed until someone is present, by which time they may have escalated. CRAWLER and Invisyne provide real-time visibility across your operation, eliminating the need for extra staff or infrastructure.
Rod pumps, compressors, ESPs, BOP systems, and drilling controls typically report only to local panels. Warning signs remain undetected until a technician visits the site. CRAWLER and Invisyne enables direct monitoring of this equipment, allowing issues to be identified before travel is required.
Wells and rigs often use equipment from various manufacturers and time periods, causing a lack of standardization. CRAWLER and Invisyne operate at the protocol level, so monitoring does not require sorting or standardizing mixed inventories.
Onshore site visits require significant crew time, while offshore mobilization incurs greater costs and logistical challenges, regardless of whether an issue is found. With remote visibility, site visits occur only when necessary, improving efficiency.
From Your Site to Your Screen
See how CRAWLER and Invisyne connect the equipment already running your operation, onshore or offshore
CRAWLER installs directly at your site and reads your controllers through their existing connections without modifying the equipment. Then, Invisyne transmits your data securely and continuously to the cloud. The result appears live on your phone or tablet. Whether your field uses a mix of decades-old rod pump controllers and newer compressor skids, CRAWLER and Invisyne speak each protocol already in use. This gives you one connected view without changing what already works.
Four systems typically define platform operations: the BOP control system, drilling control system, positioning, and vessel management. CRAWLER collects data from each system on-site without altering the connected equipment. Invisyne then transfers this data to the cloud in real time, making it available on your dashboard across devices such as phones and tablets, wherever your team is monitoring.
What Changes Once You're Connected
Once CRAWLER and Invisyne are active on your wellsites, your operations shift from reacting to past issues to proactively addressing current conditions.
Same-Day Visibility
In most cases, data reaches your dashboard the same day CRAWLER is installed. There is no drawn-out commissioning process between installation and knowing what's happening.
Fewer, More Intentional Trips
Remote visibility makes a site visit or mobilization a deliberate decision instead of a routine check. Your team spends less time confirming everything is fine and more time where attention is needed.
No SCADA-Scale Build Required
CRAWLER and Invisyne provide a connected view of your wells and platforms without the cost, timeline, or dedicated IT resources a full SCADA rollout requires.
One View for Every Controller
Rod pumps, compressors, ESPs, BOP systems, and drilling controls use different protocols, but CRAWLER and Invisyne reads them all. This means one unified view across your entire operation, regardless of asset type, brand, or age.

Questions Oil & Gas Operators Ask Us
-
How can I monitor my oil wells remotely without installing a full SCADA system?
You can add remote monitoring to existing wellsite equipment using an edge device that connects directly to controllers already on-site, without building out a SCADA network. CRAWLER installs on rod pump controllers, compressor controllers, and VSD panels through their existing connections, and Invisyne transmits that data to a dashboard you can check from a phone or tablet. This gives independent operators real-time visibility into their wells without the cost, timeline, or IT overhead of a traditional SCADA buildout.
-
What's the fastest way to get real-time data from rod pump wells?
The fastest path is connecting directly to the rod pump controllers you already have installed, rather than adding new hardware at the wellhead. CRAWLER reads controllers like Lufkin SAM through their existing Modbus RTU connection, and in most cases, data is live on your dashboard the same day it's installed. Because there's no equipment replacement or lengthy integration process involved, operators can typically go from install to visibility in a single site visit. Learn more.
-
What's the fastest way to get visibility into a newly acquired or older platform?
The fastest path is connecting to the control systems already on the rig rather than replacing them before monitoring begins. CRAWLER reads BOP, drilling control, positioning, and vessel management systems through their existing protocols, which means a platform's age or acquisition history doesn't determine how quickly it can be brought online. In most cases, installation and initial visibility happen within the same mobilization, without a separate integration phase. Learn more.
-
How can offshore operators get real-time data without adding IT infrastructure to the rig?
Real-time visibility comes from an edge device connecting directly to the systems already installed, rather than layering new servers or network hardware onto the platform. CRAWLER reads BOP controls, drilling controls, positioning, and vessel management systems locally, and Invisyne carries that data to a dashboard viewable from shore. Because processing and transmission happen off-platform, offshore operators gain visibility without expanding the physical IT footprint on the rig itself or needing dedicated technical staff stationed there to manage it.
-
What equipment can CRAWLER and Invisyne connect to on my wells and platforms?
CRAWLER and Invisyne connect directly to the controllers and systems already running on your assets. Onshore, that includes rod pump controllers like Lufkin SAM, ESP and gas lift systems like Baker Hughes SPEEDSTAR, compressor controllers like Ariel CAPP, and skid PLCs communicating over Modbus ASCII, EtherNet/IP, Profibus, CAN Bus, or HART. Offshore, that includes BOP control systems, drilling control systems, positioning systems, and vessel management systems. In both cases, CRAWLER and Invisyne read through each system's existing connection, so nothing needs to be replaced or reconfigured to get connected. Learn more.
-
How fast can I get up and running?
Onshore, installation happens during a routine site visit, and in most cases, data is visible on your dashboard the same day. Offshore, installation and initial visibility typically happen within the same mobilization, without a separate integration phase. Either way, there's no lengthy commissioning project standing between getting CRAWLER and Invisyne installed and seeing your data. Contact us today to get started.
-
Will this replace my SCADA system?
Not necessarily. CRAWLER and Invisyne give you real-time visibility into field and platform equipment without the cost and complexity of a full SCADA buildout, which makes them a fit for operators who don't run SCADA today. For those who already do, they add a layer of continuity and remote visibility on top of what's in place.
-
Do I need my own IT team to manage this?
No. Once CRAWLER and Invisyne are installed, monitoring and data transmission run independently of your onshore or offshore IT resources, with no ongoing configuration required from your team. Learn more.
-
What if my wells or platforms run a mix of old and new equipment?
That's the environment CRAWLER and Invisyne were built for. It reads legacy rod pump controllers alongside modern compressor skids, and older BOP systems alongside newer drilling controls, all through their native protocols. Equipment age, generation, or configuration doesn't create a gap in your visibility — every asset reports into the same connected view.
