ENTERPRISE VERTICAL ARCHITECTURE

Oil & Gas

Edge-to-cloud infrastructure for upstream, midstream, and downstream — SCADA integration, IIoT ingestion, OT/IT convergence, and operational continuity at remote sites.

Oil & Gas infrastructure stack

From wellhead PLCs to refinery control rooms — unified, secure, observable.

Document management (DMS)
Engineering drawing vaults (P&IDs, single-line diagrams)Well-completion reports with spatial metadataHSE incident reports with legal-hold capabilityMOC (Management of Change) artifact trailsRegulatory permit archives (EPA, HSE, local authorities)
Hardware & storage
Ruggedized edge nodes (IP65+) for wellhead and pipeline sitesIndustrial NVMe storage rated for -40°C to +85°CSCADA historian storage (OSIsoft PI-compatible time-series)Satellite-link-tolerant store-and-forward buffersEncrypted removable media for classified reservoir data
Virtual machines & containers
OT-zone-isolated VMs (Purdue model levels 2/3)Lightweight containers on industrial edge gatewaysHistorian virtualization (PI Server migration)Redundant VM pairs for safety-critical SCADA HMIAir-gap bridge nodes for IT/OT data diode crossing
Databases
TimescaleDB for high-frequency sensor time-series (pressure, flow, temp)PostgreSQL for asset registry and maintenance work ordersInfluxDB-compatible ingestion for existing OSIsoft PI migrationsClickHouse for reservoir analytics and production reportingRedis for real-time alarm state caching at control room
Messaging & streaming
Kafka for IIoT sensor streams from 100k+ tagsMQTT broker (HiveMQ) for constrained edge devicesOPC-UA to Kafka bridge for PLC/DCS dataApache Pulsar for multi-region pipeline monitoringDead-letter queues for missed-sensor anomaly alerting
Networking: IP, mTLS, DNS, LB
IPAM across IT, OT, and DMZ network zonesmTLS for cross-zone API calls (OT historian → IT analytics)DNS with split-horizon for onshore/offshore segmentsSD-WAN with LTE/satellite failover for remote sitesData diode (optical) for unidirectional OT-to-IT flowsVLAN segmentation per Purdue ISA-95 model

Operational continuity & safety

Designed for environments where downtime means lost production or safety incidents.

  • ✓RPO < 60 s, RTO < 5 min for safety-critical historian replication
  • ✓Autonomous edge operation during WAN outage (store-and-forward)
  • ✓SIL-2 aware deployment gates — no untested code to safety PLCs
  • ✓Automated flare/emissions telemetry with regulatory threshold alerts
  • ✓HSE incident correlator: sensor anomaly → work-order auto-creation

Primary Economic Drivers
  • $Migrating OSIsoft PI Server to a cloud-native time-series database can remove per-site historian licensing and dedicated hardware.
  • $Consolidating regional SCADA historian servers into a unified cloud telemetry platform can avoid repeated hardware refresh cycles.
  • $Automated HSE compliance reporting replaces 4–8 FTE manual data-aggregation workflows for EPA and local regulatory submissions.
  • $IIoT Kafka pipelines enable predictive-maintenance alerting that can help reduce unplanned downtime.
