Anadarko Petroleum Corp., an oil and gas exploration and production companies, is tracking thousands of valves with wireless RFID technology from Xerafy Ltd.
The Ontrase solution supports valve maintenance and inspection operations at Anadarko Petroleum’s oil and natural gas production locations in Brighton, Colo. and Salt Creek, Wyo.
In conjunction with software from idsTAG, the solution will provide real-time, actionable valve history ensuring on-time maintenance and compliance verification that reduces valve costs and audit penalties, and avoids costly shutdowns and spills.
Xerafy’s passive MicroX II RFID tags track thousands of valves for valve servicing and inspection, to lengthen the valve life and streamline DOT, EPA, and OSHA compliance. The end-to-end valve management system includes a full line of valves, installation, servicing and greasing, as well as the recording and maintaining of all the data.
