RFID Best Practices for the Oil & Gas IndustryRFID Best Practices for the Oil & Gas Industry
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a proven automated
data collection technology being rapidly deployed across
diverse industries. The founding members of the Oil & Gas
RFID Solutions Group (OGR) believe the technology offers
significant value for this industry, and that our collaboration
and cooperation is essential to attaining every benefit.
The OGR is supported by a consortium of oil & gas
companies, technology solutions providers, and two
universities -- the University of Houston and Texas A&M
University -- with strong ties to the industry.
The OGR is chartered to analyze the industry’s current
and potential use of existing RFID technology and identify
programs to accelerate its adoption. Thinking forward, OGR
will strive to anticipate the industry’s needs and use our
voice to influence the direction and focus of commercial
RFID technology development.
Sharing their different perspectives, group members seek
industry-wide applications for RFID and launch industry-
wide initiatives that enable use of the technology. The OGR
has leveraged Texas A&M’s 100-acre Oil & Gas research
facilty to create an RFID Lab with the capability to test and
develop solutions in simulated real-world environments.
Outreach programs share expertise developed by OGR
across the industry, through white papers, educational
programs, application briefs, and solution recommenda-
tions. Companies in the oil & gas industry are encouraged
to contact OGR for information about RFID capabilities and
solutions, data standards, project plans, and system
requirements.
The Oil & Gas RFID Solutions Group solicits input from companies that have implemented, or are considering, RFID solutions.
