Collinsville, IL - Illinois based TankSentinel™ is bringing reliable, cost effective tank monitoring to US oil producers. The system consists of tank mounted monitors and a web enabled reporting process that allows up to date tank level information to be accessed on a pc or android device. TankSentinel™ is the only wireless device on the market delivering dependable online daily monitoring of tank levels to oil producers at an affordable price. Because it requires no electrical connections, TankSentinel™ can be used practically anywhere no matter how remote the location. The simple installation process means it can be installed in less than 5 minutes and can be fully operational in ten minutes. Once installed, the TankSentinel™ unit sends information to the online data center allowing monitoring of tank levels at all times with a few keyboard strokes.
TankSentinel™ was developed from research Michael VanFossan was conducting into finding an alternative to the standard method of a pumper or roustabout measuring tank levels with the old fashioned tape and reel in an effort to eliminate the inefficiencies of this old school method. The VanFossan family has been active in the oil industry for over eighty years and, as oil producers, understand the importance of managing efficiencies in the field to maximize production levels. The practicality of the operational advantage provided by confidential automatic tank gauging was immediately apparent to Michael, who then brought that concept to other producers with TankSentinel™, the twenty four hour tank monitoring system designed to improve efficiency and increase production. Real-time awareness of tank levels benefits the American oil producer in a myriad of ways. The most basic function of the TankSentinel™ is to allow the monitoring of tank levels on a desktop pc or android device. This eliminates the delay in waiting for pumpers handwritten production reports. This feature alone makes TankSentinel™ monitoring an invaluable addition to oil field operations. Tank monitoring is only a part of the equation. Being armed with up to date monitoring levels on a daily basis gives operators the ability to realize increased production levels. The increased awareness provided by 24/7 monitoring is proven to reduce downtime thereby allowing improved employee productivity through a pro active deployment of human resources and the reduction of internal paperwork and reporting. TankSentinel™ can also be an integral part of decreasing costly mishaps such as overflows, leakages and thefts as well as accidents which could result in increased insurance costs and can, in some instances, actually reduce insurance costs. TankSentinel™ monitoring also makes compliance with upcoming government mandates on overflow and leakage monitoring requirements less onerous and time consuming.
A deeper analysis of the capabilities of TankSentinel™ reveals a system through which operators can improve production by balancing pumping capacities throughout a field to achieve the optimum output from each well or field. Just by monitoring the levels of a tank it is possible to discover the operational status of wells. If the level remains static it is likely the well is not in production. This allows the oil producer to judge the operational status of wells without the need to physically observe the well in the field. The online data center provides an extremely robust set of monitoring options and informational tools to make fine tuning oil field production a reality that was simply not possible with traditional methods. While not all producers are active to this level TankSentinel™ delivers the technology to make such evaluations possible if desired. TankSentinel™ provides a series of alerts about tanks including High Level, Critical High Level and Low Level that can indicate a range of problems and save the loss of many barrels in the field.
In short, TankSentinel™ brings increases where they are needed in increased production, safety and employee productivity. Just as important, TankSentinel™ delivers reductions where you need them in decreased costs, accidental leakages and potential thefts. In short, TankSentinel™ allows any operator to take advantage of this new technology from stripper wells to wells of any level of production.
