HotButton Solutions has developed Handheld Data Collection System (HDS) for CGI Group Inc., an extension of their popular product, Production Volume Reporting (PVR). Through the convenience of a handheld, daily production data can be collected and analyzed by the field operator (pumper) and administrative groups. Information collected from daily readings propagates from the handhelds to the PVR Database. During the development process current PVR customers were consulted in regards to the functionality of HDS. The product was extensively piloted in the field prior to its release. PVR users now benefit from the enhanced features offered by HDS and, as a result, report an increase in operational efficiency.

Some of these enhanced features include:

• Wells, batteries, field locations, and areas are defined in the PVR Database and those definitions are transferred to HDS where runs can be created and assigned. 
• Administrators can set up a ‘Favorites’ list for each handheld. This list makes it easier for each run to have a list of commonly used internal and external trucking locations, as well as, for default trucking company lists
• Modifications in the PVR database will propagate to the handheld on next synchronization.
• Users can view history (individual readings or graphical representation) of past data collections
• Administrative and Engineering groups have quick access to daily oil and gas production
• Access to production calculations in the field enables operators to modify settings for optimum efficiency
• HDS and the collected production data are stored on a flash memory card. If a handheld fails or the battery dies, the card can be moved into a new handheld and all the data will be instantly accessible.
