Challenge
A major challenge in upstream oil and gas operations is the need to monitor and control automated gas sweetening processes across geographically distributed, hazardous locations. Gas sweetening—the chemical process of removing sulfides and CO2 from raw hydrocarbons—must occur in Zone 1 hazardous, explosive atmospheres where direct human intervention is restricted, time-consuming, and dangerous. Additionally, well testing operations conducted in remote locations across a pay-per-use model require sophisticated coordination, remote asset management, equipment health monitoring, and consumables tracking—all across multiple dispersed sites.

Custom deployment
Solution
BlueRipples designed and deployed an integrated remote operations system comprising: (1) Automation of the gas sweetening equipment process to operate with minimal human intervention in Zone 1 hazardous areas, (2) A local monitoring and control station positioned in Zone 2 safe areas, (3) An IoT edge layer in Zone 2 enabling supervisory control and remote monitoring from central operations, and (4) Intelligent data evaluation systems that compare real-time process data against historical references while maintaining strict data security protocols. For well testing operations, BlueRipples implemented an automated and remotely operated system using their Sequrops product, enabling clients to operate dispersed testing equipment with minimal human intervention while tracking equipment health, work status, and consumables across multiple deployment sites.
