The Information Your Company Needs, When You Need It

BALTEK is a leader in monitoring the performance of remote assets for oil and natural gas producers, operators and marketers. BALTEK uses wireless telemetry to collect performance information from the field and uses Internet-based technologies to distribute timely, user-friendly reports that result in better operating decisions of the operator which can result in improved field optimization and well performance.

BALTEK’s strength and value lies in its superior presentation of near real-time information. This presentation of the information using graphics and tables is recognized as the most user-friendly and functional in the industry.

Remote monitoring and information delivery via the Internet is the next evolution of SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) radio-based systems. BALTEK can serve a single well in one state or 1,000 wells across many states, while SCADA is limited to serving wells that are geographically consolidated. BALTEK can improve existing SCADA systems by providing the Internet portal to deliver valuable field information to multiple individuals at any location that has Internet connectivity.

BALTEK can integrate telemetry hardware to legacy field equipment to utilize the existing investment of the operator. Track the performance of and receive exception alarms for compressors, pumps, generators, rod pumps and plunger lift applications.

BALTEK provides oil and natural gas production and operating companies an easy and cost effective way to out-source field data collection, warehousing, and information presentation needs. BALTEK manages the telemetry services to the field hardware, typically wireless, brings the data back to the state of the art BALTEK Data Center, and provides delivery of useful information to our clients via the Internet. Timely and accurate operating information is available anytime anywhere the Internet is accessible. BALTEK’s clients can track the performance of their remote assets and make better decisions with this availability of information. BALTEK Networks provides this service so you can focus on what you do best.
