Optimizing Operations for Heavy Industries
Oil and Gas organizations face a lot of challenges—aging infrastructure, tight margins, environmental pressure, and data overload make it harder to stay ahead.
We believe that your answer is tech. Data-driven systems. real-time equipment monitoring, predictive maintenance, logistics coordination, ESG tracking, and integrations will help you to connect the field with the boardroom and continue to work in the most harsh conditions.
Standards and regulations we're compliant with
We know your pains
-
Delayed decisions in upstream Seismic data, drilling metrics, and reservoir models take too long to analyze and lead to missed opportunities and inefficient resource allocation.
-
Pipeline disruptions ripple fast In midstream, a single undetected pressure drop or asset failure can halt operations and delay deliveries across the entire chain.
-
Outdated systems limit refinery efficiency Legacy control systems and disconnected tools make it hard to optimize downstream processes, enforce safety, or adapt to demand shifts.
-
Too much data, not enough insight Sensors, SCADA, and ERP systems produce endless data. However, without integration and analytics, it’s just noise.
-
Unplanned downtime hurts the bottom line When asset failures aren't predicted, outages become expensive and recurring problems that drain resources and slow output.
-
Manual work slows the field Technicians still rely on paper-based forms, radio check-ins, and isolated tools, creating delays, duplication, and data loss.
-
Compliance pressure keeps climbing Environmental and safety regulations are growing. Manual tracking and static reporting can't keep up with audit requirements.
-
Losing knowledge to turnover Experienced workers are retiring, and new staff struggle without structured training or access to tribal knowledge in the field.
-
Clunky software drives talent away Young engineers are reluctant to work with outdated, complex interfaces. If it’s hard to learn and painful to use, they’ll choose employers with modern tools and intuitive systems.

Frequently asked questions
What types of oil & gas operations does Sombra support?
We work across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. From drill site monitoring and pipeline telemetry to refinery automation and ESG compliance, we design and implement tech that supports the full value chain.
Can your solutions operate in low-connectivity, remote environments?
Yes. We design for real-world constraints—including offline modes, edge computing, and lightweight data sync across high-latency or low-bandwidth networks. Our platforms are field-tested for remote and rugged deployments.
How do you help reduce unplanned downtime?
We use AI and condition-based monitoring to predict failures before they happen. Our predictive maintenance models analyze vibration, pressure, and flow data to trigger early alerts and optimize maintenance scheduling.
Do you integrate with SCADA, DCS, ERP, or legacy control systems?
Absolutely. We connect existing systems—like SCADA, DCS, CMMS, and ERP—into one enterprise-wide data layer using secure APIs and industry protocols like Modbus and OPC UA. No rip-and-replace required.
How do your tools support workforce modernization and training?
We develop digital onboarding modules, in-field mobile apps, and digital twins for training in hazardous or high-stakes environments. These help retain institutional knowledge and enable faster, safer onboarding of new staff.
What kind of compliance and ESG tracking do you offer?
We automate the capture and reporting of emissions, incidents, and safety metrics. Our systems support geo-tagged spill reports, audit-ready documentation, and real-time dashboards aligned with standards like API RP 754 and ISO 14224.
How do your Industrial IoT platforms work?
We integrate sensors, devices, and remote equipment via protocols like MQTT and Modbus. Edge computing enables fast local decisions, while cloud dashboards give HQ real-time visibility into operations and alerts.
Can you help modernize our refinery operations?
Yes. We implement AI-powered optimization, process scheduling, and integrated monitoring tools to optimize energy use, balance flow, and manage downstream demand response. All while respecting your legacy systems and safety protocols.
What does implementation look like for a large industrial project?
We start with discovery and system mapping, followed by iterative development, integration, and testing. Projects are modular, minimizing disruption while delivering business value quickly, especially for high-risk, always-on environments.
How do you ensure security and data integrity in critical environments?
Our platforms are built to comply with ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. We implement secure data pipelines, role-based access, and real-time monitoring to ensure safe, auditable, and resilient operations across your tech stack.
