Decide what should happen
Build the operating strategy, calculate optimal modes, and prepare scenarios and setpoints.
nv.EDGE is an on-premise SmartWell controller that turns live well data into safe, autonomous action - even when the connection to the control center is lost.
Central analytics can define the operating strategy. nv.EDGE executes that strategy at well level - fast enough for real-time control and independent enough for unstable communications.
Build the operating strategy, calculate optimal modes, and prepare scenarios and setpoints.
Execute locally, hold the operating mode, and correct setpoints when well conditions change.
The control station and downhole equipment execute commands and return live telemetry.
nv.EDGE complements existing monitoring and control infrastructure with an intelligent local runtime.
A compact runtime combines industrial connectivity, operating context, and model-based control without requiring heavy infrastructure at the well site.
Protects the well from loss of communication and keeps the local control loop running without the operator connection.
Core capabilityConnects to control stations through widely used industrial protocols, including OPC UA and Modbus TCP.
Continuously records time-series operating data so every control event has a traceable context.
Uses setpoints, run status, frequency, current, temperature, pressure, and pump context for a rapid start.
Recalculates production rate from pump performance curves as measured operating frequency changes.
Maintains a configurable catalog of head-capacity curves for the pumps operating across your asset.
Emulate the well control logic on a test bench before the runtime is connected to production equipment.
Validate real-time alerts and potential emergency scenarios before enabling direct control of the well.
Safe adoptionnv.EDGE puts the decisions that cannot wait close to the equipment - reducing unnecessary trips, adapting to disturbances, and improving energy use.
Distinguish a real emergency from a false protection trip using the operating context around pressure, temperature, insulation resistance, and other signals.
Control the well operating point automatically when external disturbances such as gas interference or loss of pump intake occur.
Select the optimal operating point automatically to reduce power consumption while maintaining pump performance.

False tripKeep the context
Protection logic and thresholds are configured and validated for the specific asset during the pilot.
The direction is supported by a working control foundation and reference work in industrial and academic environments.
Intelligent programmable logic controller work provides an applied foundation for well-level edge control.
An experimental test bench supports emulation and validation of control logic before production deployment.
Confirm the available signals, control station interfaces, protection logic, and success criteria for the target wells.
Scope & readinessRun in recommendation-only mode, validate alerts and models, and quantify performance on a focused operational scope.
Evidence & tuningEnable local control, integrate with operational workflows, and expand the validated configuration across wells and pads.
Operate & scaleChoose a focused group of wells, validate the effect, and build the case for an autonomous operating layer.
