Tera Bullion builds live operations dashboards for energy companies: production volumes, equipment health, and safety metrics across distributed sites in one real-time view. Field data stops being trapped on location — instead of learning a site's numbers when someone drives out or emails a spreadsheet, operations sees every site's telemetry live from the office.
Right now, the answer to "how is the Permian site doing?" is a drive, a phone call, or a spreadsheet someone emails on Friday. Production volumes, equipment condition, safety numbers — the data exists, meticulously recorded, and almost all of it is trapped at the site that generated it.
The costs stack quietly. Windshield hours spent driving out just to know. Decisions made on last week's numbers because that's the freshest spreadsheet anyone has. And the expensive one: drift that nobody catches — the site trending toward a problem for two weeks in data nobody in the office could see, surfacing only when it becomes an event. In an industry where downtime costs thousands per hour, finding out late is its own operating expense.
More site visits put experienced eyes on gauges — for the hours they're on location. A visit samples a moment; the story lives in the trend between visits. And every windshield hour is a skilled person converted into a courier.
The Friday spreadsheet ritual produces a report that is stale on arrival, formatted differently per site, and reconciled by hand in the office. It answers last week's questions at next week's meeting.
SCADA screens at each site are built for the operator standing in front of them, not for the operations manager responsible for nine locations. Nine separate systems with nine logins isn't visibility — it's nine places to not be looking when it matters.
The common failure: every fix moves a person to the data or a snapshot of the data to a person. What operations actually needs is the live trend of every site, in one place, without anyone carrying it there.
Before: a site's numbers surface when someone drives out or the Friday spreadsheet lands → office decisions run a week behind the field → drift compounds unseen → and finding out is an activity that consumes crew hours.
After: every site's telemetry reads live from the office → the morning meeting starts from the same real-time view → drift gets a work order while it's still cheap → and windshield time is spent on work, not reconnaissance.
If your sites are distributed and your field data is trapped in them, this is the foundational visibility build — the one that turns "drive out and check" into a glance, and feeds every analytics layer you add after it.
The telemetry you already generate: SCADA historians, field reports, run logs, and back-office systems, pulled through supported export paths and APIs into one warehouse. Most operators are surprised how much of the picture already exists — it's just trapped on site.
No. We integrate through historians, export paths, and APIs — read-only routes out of your operational environment. Your OT stays isolated; the analytics layer lives outside it. That boundary is a design rule, not a preference.
Whatever your sites record: production volumes by site and trend, equipment health indicators, safety metrics, downtime events, and deferment. The point isn't a fixed template — it's that the questions you currently answer by driving out or calling the site become a glance.
As current as your data paths allow — typically the refresh cadence of your historians and field reporting. The practical shift is from finding out days later, when the spreadsheet arrives, to seeing drift the same day it starts.
It's the reason to build it. Distributed operations are exactly where visibility breaks down — nobody can watch everything, so surprises happen at the site nobody was watching. One pipeline feeds one view of every site, regardless of geography.
Yes — and that's the compounding value. The pipeline that feeds live dashboards is the same foundation our failure-forecasting models train on. Operators typically start with visibility, then add prediction on the same plumbing.
