MatrikonOPC has announced the release of its OPC Server for Well site Information Transfer Specification (WITS) which provides open data connectivity to well site data systems using WITS-compliant devices. Areas in which WITS-based data is common at a well site include geology, drilling, cementing, drill stem testing, electronic data recorders (EDRs) that capture logging while drilling (LWD) and measurement while drilling (MWD) data.
“With the release of the OPC Server for WITS, end users gain direct access to their WITS data via any [OPC enabled] application,” said Darek Kominek, marketing manager at MatrikonOPC. “This application makes it easier to share and work with key data onsite and with the rest of the enterprise.”
Key features of the MatrikonOPC Server for WITS include:
- Support for communications through TCP/IP, UDP and/or serial channels
- Simultaneous support for WITS Level 0 compliant active and passive devices
