Revolutionizing Energy Production with Vital Energy & Umbrage
Overview
Vital Energy, an independent energy powerhouse, teamed up with Umbrage to transform their field operations. Hindered by lack of data visibility and systems interaction at the well site, Vital Energy like many others in their industry felt like they were missing critical production opportunities and that there were opportunities for improving the deployment of their field operators and technicians.
The collaboration aimed to streamline field operations and enhance well maintenance efficiency through advanced data science and technology solutions.
Starting with just ten weeks, Umbrage worked closely with Vital Energy to conceptualize and design two innovative products: a sophisticated Electrical Submersible Pump application and a customizable Field Data Capture software, before moving into a long-term 22+ month partnership to build out and deploy their Dynamic Routing platform.
Our Approach
The Future Oil Field is Digital
Client Need
The future of oil and gas is digital, but adoption is slow due to infrastructure and cultural challenges. Vital seeks to leverage data and technology for improved production, efficiency, and business value.
Product Definition
Insights Driving Solutions
Umbrage and Vital Energy began with comprehensive working sessions and site visits, gaining insights that shaped user-centric solutions and integrated data management.
Product Development
Powering Up Efficiency
Post-definition, an agile development team worked through a prioritized product backlog, leading to the launch of the initial MVP release of the Dynamic Routing application.
Industrialization
Built to Evolve
From there, the focus has shifted to scaling the Dynamic Routing app starting with data capture and task management to fully automated routing based on operator and technician location and priority.
