Developing Critical Products for Oil Well Monitoring
The client, a solutions provider to the oil industry, partnered with Infosys to build an oil well monitoring product based on its optical expertise. Although the risk of technology failure is very high for this high-precision product, Infosys shared the risk with the client.
Infosys undertook the complete product design and development effort by assembling a team that was a mix of technology specialists, domain experts and hardware engineers. Technologies employed to create the oil well monitoring solution included: signal processing to measure physical properties of the oil flow, sensing and measuring transducers, TI cards and interfaces for these systems to one of the PC interfaces.
The client realized several benefits:
- The product architecture enabled the client to customize and deploy the same product in other technology segments.
- The developed product was the first of a series of products using optical technology in oil well sensing systems. In the future, this may lead to the development of products based on optical technologies in seismic geology, telecommunications, etc.
