From Fragmented Fields to Full Impact
Disconnected operational data limits visibility, slows action, and increases risk.
The oil and gas industry spans remote, high-risk, and highly regulated environments, requiring speed, safety, and precision to operate at maximum capacity. Matrikon Data Broker unites siloed systems, ensuring strategic growth, modernization, and innovation are never just a pipe dream.
Run Leaner, Safer, and Smarter
Before: Disconnected Systems. Incomplete Visibility.
Fragmented data forces operations, compliance, and engineering to work in the dark, leading to inefficiencies, overlap, and lost opportunities.
After: Unified Access. Cross-Functional Gains.
Matrikon Data Broker creates a Unified OT Data Layer that connects your brownfield assets, modern platforms, and remote infrastructure. As more departments gain access to this OT data layer and optimize to align with real-time insight, your operation gains its future footing.
Stronger Links. A More Powerful Chain.
Matrikon Data Broker delivers the operational data transparency each department needs to best do its job, boosting production efficiency in the field, extending asset life through smarter maintenance, automating HSE compliance, and giving leadership a clear line to strategic gains.
Total Clarity From Exploration to Distribution
Matrikon helps oil and gas operators bridge the gap between what’s in the field vs. what’s in the plan via seamless and secure access to OT data enterprise-wide. The result? Momentum that scales.
Predict Failures. Protect Output.
In oil and gas, every minute of downtime puts both safety and revenue at risk. Matrikon Data Broker transforms fragmented data into predictive power by unifying legacy SCADA/DCS systems, real-time telemetry from wellheads, IoT sensors on critical assets, and PLC-driven corrosion monitoring. The result? A living nervous system where equipment can “speak” its condition before failure occurs.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Operational Gains
- Predict ESP failures early via vibration signatures
- Diagnose wellhead issues remotely, reducing helicopter dispatches
- Correlate corrosion rates with chemical injection metrics
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Reduce unplanned downtime and protect profit margin
- Extend asset life through condition-based maintenance
- Achieve ambitious production reliability targets
Compliant By Default
Matrikon Data Broker offers secure, real-time access to process, spill, and emissions data directly from third-party data sources. MDB simplifies data access and protects the underlying data sources by aggregating them, contextualizing their raw data, and streamlining this information to reporting platforms, dashboards, and audit tools. Teams can eliminate manual entry, respond faster to deviations, and maintain a continuous state of audit readiness across sites.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Compliance Gains
- Automate GHG, flaring, spill detection, and water use reporting
- Track safety metrics in real time (e.g., pressure spikes, emergency stops)
- Audit-ready logs of process and emissions data
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Minimize audit prep time and regulatory risk
- Prove ESG progress to stakeholders
- Streamline sustainability reporting across upstream and downstream
From Legacy to Limitless
Modernizing aging infrastructure often introduces downtime, cost overruns, and integration headaches. MDB’s single Unified OT Data layer (UODL) serves as a reliable data foundation that integrates legacy and new systems without forced replacements and rework. Engineering teams can connect all sources into a single data fabric that contextualizes and standardizes representation, empowering phased migration, more meaningful data, and successful implementation of new technologies.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Engineering Gains
- Integrate historian, SCADA, DCS, and IoT data
- Feed contextualized data into AI-driven asset integrity models
- Connect remote construction monitoring and progress dashboards
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Phase capital projects to reduce risk and cost, maximize ROI
- Unlock efficiencies without delaying production
- Future-proof infrastructure with built-in scalability
Protection Without Pause
Securing oil and gas infrastructure starts with controlling OT data access and movement. MDB enables outbound-initiated data sharing, meaning data connections are established from inside the OT network out to IT systems, eliminating the need for opening inbound ports on OT firewalls or risky VPN tunnels. All traffic is encrypted, and access is governed by role-based controls that restrict who can see or modify data.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: IT/OT Gains
- Gains MDB removes the need for VPNs or open ports
- It applies IEC 62443-aligned controls
- Monitor OT data usage through audit logs and access controls
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Reduce risk of cyber breaches across critical assets
- Strengthen collaboration between IT and OT teams
- Meet internal governance and external compliance standards
Facts Over Forecasts
Matrikon Data Broker makes live OT data available to enterprise systems, allowing them to transform field-level activity into actionable insight. Executives can monitor asset performance, compliance risk, ESG metrics, and output trends in real-time across a site or the entire fleet. By federating data from multiple locations into one trusted Unified OT Data Layer (UDOL), MDB empowers leaders to make informed decisions, guide capital planning, and align priorities enterprise-wide.
What It Might Look Like:
Zooming In: Leadership Gains
- Real-time ESG and HSE dashboards
- Cross-geography and cross-functional KPI tracking
- Project outcome analysis to guide capital allocation
Zooming Out: Business Gains
- Data-informed growth strategies and optimized ESG investments
- Faster response from boardroom to field
- Clear ROI on innovation and modernization initiatives

Here’s to Being Well Informed:
A Unified OT Data Layer (UODL) describes the concept of a foundational enterprise-wide OT data layer, which makes all of a company’s operational data seamlessly and securely available to everyone who needs it. Beyond aggregating OT data into a common address space (like a Universal Name Space (UNS) does), the UODL addresses all aspects of enabling, federating, and managing OT data access, its security, reliability, context, and security.
Matrikon’s UODL vision is to aggregate OT data on a single open-standard platform so that everyone across the enterprise can access meaningful data. This means all teams share the same real-time view of operations, avoiding miscommunication and speeding strategic decision-making.
MDB fuels your analytics and digital initiatives by providing reliable, high-quality OT data. Many analytics and digital transformation projects fail due to poor data quality or inaccessible data sources. MDB solves this by:
Unifying disparate data sources: Seamlessly integrates with various OT systems, regardless of their communication protocols, overcoming common data access barriers.
Ensuring data security: Handles secure network traversal and firewall access, ensuring your data remains protected.
Preserving data context: Enriches raw data with essential context, making it immediately useful for analysis and decision-making. This context-rich data is crucial for accurate insights and effective AI/ML model training.
Streamlining data delivery: MDB’s MQTT publisher enables effortless data streaming to any cloud or IIoT platform. We offer deployment guides for popular platforms like AWS IoT SiteWise and Azure IoT for simplified integration.
Optimizing data for specific applications: Uses OPC UA modeling to automatically provide a unified and context-rich dataset, ensuring your analytics tools receive data perfectly formatted for their needs.
MDB is built to handle high-data throughput environments. It supports hundreds of thousands of transactions per second with low latency, making it suitable for large-scale, real-time industrial data workloads.
Yes. Matrikon gives you visibility that fosters efficiency. Integrating OT data enterprise-wide provides the precise, real-time insights needed to reduce waste and energy use. For example, identifying underperforming assets quickly enables corrective actions that support sustainability goals.
SCADA systems excel locally but typically create data silos. MDB bridges all systems, normalizing data into a single layer enterprise-wide. This avoids costly point-to-point integrations and ensures consistency across sites, simplifying analytics and reporting
Success is measured by concrete improvements like reduced downtime, faster deployment times, or lower integration costs. For example, we might aim to cut data retrieval time by 90% or improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Meeting these KPIs shows the Matrikon platform is delivering on its promise.
