Oil & Gas

Digital Oilfield —
No Wires, No Compromise

ROSSMA smart switching devices are not data transmitters — they are edge automation controllers with HART and MODBUS support. They manage processes when offline, store measurement archives, and execute setpoint algorithms. 12 oil & gas companies already run 10,000+ devices in production

Why Standard IoT Fails at Oilfields

Common issues oil & gas operators face when deploying "smart" sensors

Sensor without connectivity = blind spot

Most IoT devices are just data transmitters. Lost cellular signal in the tundra? You lose visibility. ROSSMA keeps managing the process autonomously and buffers up to 50,000 readings.

ESP downtime — $15K+/day in lost production

Unplanned pump shutdown means 5–15 tons of lost oil. Without continuous pressure and temperature monitoring you learn about the problem when production has already stopped.

Connectivity drops — process doesn't wait

Remote wellpads in Siberia and the Arctic have unstable cellular coverage. Standard IoT systems go dark. ROSSMA doesn't: device-level setpoints fire even offline.

Wired SCADA — $30K–60K per wellpad

Traditional wired automation requires trenching, cable trays, and control cabinets. At fields with dozens of pads this is an unaffordable budget.

Vendor lock-in to a single protocol

Being tied to one protocol (LoRaWAN only or NB-IoT only) is limiting. All ROSSMA devices run on a universal secure protocol — switch between LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and LTE without replacing hardware.

No digital audit trail for regulators

Regulators require documented proof of continuous parameter monitoring. Paper logs and manual rounds are yesterday's technology and grounds for penalties.

What Makes ROSSMA Different from "Standard IoT"

Six technology innovations competitors don't have

Smart Switching Devices, Not Sensors

ROSSMA produces intelligent automation switching devices that convert analog field instrument signals (4–20 mA, 0–10 V, thermocouples) to digital, interface with HART and MODBUS industrial protocols, and control process equipment via HH/H/L/LL setpoints. When connectivity drops, devices continue executing algorithms and buffer up to 50,000 readings.

One Protocol for All Standards

ROSSMA's proprietary secure protocol works over LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE, and 868 MHz Mesh. One ecosystem, one server, one SCADA. Mix standards on a single site: LoRaWAN at remote pads, LTE at LACT units, Mesh in processing areas. Zero vendor lock-in.

Built-in SCADA — ROSSMA.NETS HMI

No need for WinCC, Wonderware, or other third-party SCADA. ROSSMA.NETS includes a full HMI system: process graphics, trends, ISA-18.2 alarms, 9 report types, AI/ML analytics. Supports 10,000+ devices. Everything out of the box, no external licenses.

Equipment Control & Security

Valve position monitoring in % open/close (Dry Contact VPM). Static equipment security against unauthorized access and theft — vibration detection, contact sensor triggering (ESD). Alarm signaling on setpoint breach.

Ex Certified for Zone 0, 1, 2

ATEX / TR CU 012/2011 certified. Protection: Ex d (flameproof enclosure), Ex ia (intrinsically safe). IP67 stainless steel housings. Operating range −55 to +85 °C. Proven from Tobolsk to De-Kastri.

WellPAD — Turnkey Well Pad Cabinet

Ready-to-deploy automation cabinet: base station, Edge server with ROSSMA.NETS, 4-hour UPS, LTE uplink to dispatch. ~30 monitoring points per 8-well pad, installation in 1–2 days, cost ≤$15K vs $30–60K for wired SCADA. IP65 climate cabinet, Astra Linux, CII/FSTEC certified.

Questions Oil & Gas Operators Ask

What happens when connectivity is lost at a wellpad?
ROSSMA devices continue operating autonomously. Setpoints fire (HH/H/L/LL), control algorithms execute on field instruments, data buffers up to 50,000 readings. When connectivity returns — the entire archive syncs to ROSSMA.NETS with timestamps preserved. No measurement is ever lost.
How does this integrate with our existing SCADA?
ROSSMA.NETS supports Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC UA, MQTT, and REST API. We have a live project at LUKOIL with 800+ devices integrated into their SCADA via Modbus. You can also use our built-in SCADA platform ROSSMA.NETS HMI — a full HMI with process graphics, trends, and ISA-18.2 alarms.
Which companies already use ROSSMA?
Gazprom Neft, LUKOIL, SIBUR, Tatneft, Irkutsk Oil, Surgutneftegas, RussNeft, Varyoganneft, Bashneft, TOT (De-Kastri), KazMunayGas. Total: 10,000+ devices across 12 client sites in production.
Why −55 °C instead of the standard −40 °C?
Standard industrial IoT operates at −40 to +85 °C. Eastern Siberia, Yamal, and Arctic fields see temperatures below −50 °C. We extended the range to −55 °C — ER34615 lithium batteries retain capacity, housings are climate-chamber tested.
How are ROSSMA devices different from typical IoT sensors?
ROSSMA produces two classes of devices. First — smart automation switching devices: they convert analog field instrument signals (4–20 mA, thermocouples) to digital, interface with HART and MODBUS protocols, and control equipment via HH/H/L/LL setpoints. When offline — they continue managing the process autonomously. Second — proprietary sensors (pressure, temperature, gas analysis) that are also "smart": they operate both on schedule and in event-driven mode (transmit on threshold breach or triggering), accumulate timestamped archives, and can perform high-frequency measurements from battery power. Plus valve position monitors and anti-theft security devices.
Why a single protocol for LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and LTE?
It eliminates vendor lock-in. A single oilfield may need LoRaWAN at remote pads (no cellular), NB-IoT where there's a tower, and LTE for video. All data flows into one ROSSMA.NETS server — one SCADA, one protocol, one management system.
How much does it cost to equip one wellpad?
From $10K to $15K per wellpad (8-10 wells) including sensors, gateway, edge server, and ROSSMA.NETS license. Compare: wired SCADA runs $30–60K. Installation takes 1–2 days instead of 2–4 weeks. Payback: 12–18 months.
Is there explosion-proof certification?
Yes. ATEX / TR CU 012/2011 for Zone 0, 1, and 2. Protection: Ex d (flameproof) and Ex ia (intrinsically safe). Also: TR CU 012/2011, Russian software registry, CII/FSTEC compatibility, Astra Linux and Kaspersky certified.
