S&P Global FieldDIRECT® Data Capture is a field app developed for pumpers and users working in field operations. This app enables FieldDIRECT® subscribers to capture field data and send it to the database from their smart phones or tablet, significantly improving the data capturing process as pumpers will no longer need to carry a laptop with them in their trucks, or write production data on a note pad. This also reduces time of response and improves accuracy. With S&P Global FieldDIRECT® Data Capture, pumpers will be able to see their daily route and arrange their sites at their convenience. Pumpers will also be able to register daily production data, calculate production volumes from meters and tank readings, or even enter run tickets through a simple but powerful interface. Daily production trends can be graphed for data review. Downtime and failures can also be captured and reported. The app allows FieldDIRECT® subscribers to capture field data regarding certain wells or areas at their fingertips from anywhere, even remote areas, as data capturing does not require an Internet connection, and later send it to the database when cellular data coverage or WiFi access is available.
