QT specializes in providing TRUSTED OT ADVISOR consulting services primarily to oil and gas companies, to help them further optimize their field operations and engineering work flows.
Typically, our clients are looking for ways to optimize their field work flows, including integrating: operations by exception and remote operations rooms/centers.
To achieve these goals, QT excels at bringing unique INTEGRATION capabilities.
We know oil and base work flows, field automation, field communications, SCADA/DCS, OT, IT, cybersecurity, data flows, application development, and building integrations between disparate systems to achieve highly efficient operations.
To optimize your field work flows it’s vital to include all the components that feed into this overall view, such as your facilities, operating model, culture, staff, DCS/SCADA systems, historians, and data flows which ALL NEED TO ALL INTEGRATE!
Our proven and extensive knowledge in oil and gas, operational technology (OT), DCS/SCADA systems, field communications, and IT, allow us to optimize your field work flows the way you want them optimized and at the pace you want to pursue.
When increasing the efficiency of operational work flows, automation is always part of the solution, with the focus technology usually being the mobile app, you put in the hands of your operators.
Your operators need to see the value in using it, not using paper anymore, and seeing as a tool to provide direction and information, so they can use their experience and judgement to operate your facilities.
Our competitors, such as EZOPS, Oplynx, and Muddy Boots primarily provide “canned off the shelf” mobile applications.
This approach reduces your ability to customize your mobile application, so you can execute each work flow, the specific way you want it to occur and so you can define how each work flow integrates with the other work flows, to create an overall Typical Operator Day.
With a custom mobile app, you can make change as fast or as slow as you want, with an “off the shelf” mobile application, usually shared to some degree with other customers, you can not control the rate change, and sometimes you will hear “No” and sometimes, “sorry that is going to take a few months, we need to put this request in our development queue, which is quite large”.
These solutions also do not always allow the amount of cross work flow integration and data flow integration, customers need, to meet their specific field work flow requirements.
Oil and gas work flows are common across all conventional oil and gas companies, however, each company’s specific goals, culture, types of facilities, and formation they operate in, amount of field data and corporate system integrations varies significantly.
If you use an off the shelf mobile app for your operators’ many of our competitors can not or struggle with integrating the mobile app into and out of your existing the SCADA/DCS systems.
We also specialize in assisting clients to either pull data out of existing historians or assist in building enterprise historians and/or centralized OT Data Warehouses, where ALL your field data is put in one spot, organized by an asset framework / facility hierarchy, and easy to use.
We also specialize in integrating data in and out of corporate systems needed to complete the work flows.
Many “off the shelf” operator mobile apps can not achieve these goals, to take your work flow efficiency “to the next level” and drive not thousands, but millions in recurring OPEX savings!
The QT solution is based on our deep and thorough knowledge of OT, IT, and integration, combined with a rapid deployment Mobile App Development Tool Kit.
Our tool kit allows the ability to quickly develop a mobile app for operator use, customized the exact way to support your unique work requirements.
You know how you want operators to execute work flows, where you want to schedule their work or just present information to them to assist them to do their work, and there are times when you require some combination of these two approaches.
You can integrate as many work flows as you want. The development activity can be executed as quickly or slowly as your needs and ROI dictate. And if changes in the marketplace or within your organization require a different focus, you can pause the development work. You manage the roll out timing/management, rate of transformation, and on-going change management, based on your needs and your organizations adoption ability.
Many of the other mobile app solutions struggle to quickly integrate field automation sources, DCS/SCADA systems and the integration of information to and from corporate, engineering, and BI / analytics systems. We can do that for you!
We charge a monthly tool kit access fee and charge time and materials, while development is on going. Once your mobile app is done, the tool kit access fee stops and there are NO LICENSING FEES!
There are no subscription fees or never ending per user or per solution component or per site fee!

If you would like to have a meeting and see examples of our custom mobile app and work flow / data flow integration results, please contact me @ shane.yamkowy@qtltd.ca
We also assist with one off OT projects needing help, field communications, DCS/SCADA system projects, enterprise historian, and advanced OT analytics solutions. We can set up lower cost enterprise historian solutions with tightly integrated analytics and data modeling tools if you are ready to use your field operational and engineering data to do process and equipment optimization across your fields.
