Energy and oil and gas leaders who see non-productive time before it is booked.
INDUSTRY — Energy & Oil and Gas | MIDAS
Field operations, assets, and ERP each hold part of the truth about whether work is moving. Leadership still waits on reconciliation and reports while non-productive time runs and the cost becomes real.

Direct answer: how does MIDAS help energy and oil and gas operations?
MIDAS connects your ERP, field and SCADA systems, asset data, sensors, and crew updates into one operating picture tied to schedule, cost, and the owner of each call. Leadership sees unplanned downtime and asset risk while there is still time to act on it — before the loss is reconciled into a report after the fact.
Query fit: oil and gas operating picture; connect ERP and field systems; non-productive time and asset risk.
Unplanned downtime is the loss that runs while the report catches up.
Non-productive time on an asset is not a local field issue. It becomes schedule slip, cost overrun, and a number finance reconciles long after the crew already knew. The scale is hard to ignore: the average offshore oil and gas operator loses about $38 million a year to unplanned downtime; for the worst performers the figure exceeds $88 million (Kimberlite, via MaxGrip). MIDAS ties field and asset signal to the schedule, the cost, and the owner, so the connection reaches leadership while there is still time to act on it.
How MIDAS differs for energy and oil and gas
Your ERP records the business and your field and SCADA systems read the asset. Between them, no single view connects what the asset is doing to the cost and the decision.
ERP records the business — but only after the loss is booked. Field and SCADA systems read the asset in real time, but stop at the signal. MIDAS sits above both: it reads asset and field signal as it happens, ties it to the schedule and the financial exposure behind it, and surfaces the call with the owner, the cost, and the deadline already attached. The data is no longer technically connected and operationally silent — it produces a decision.

Frequently asked questions.
What systems does MIDAS connect in an energy operation?
ERP, field and SCADA systems, asset and maintenance data, sensors, and crew updates — read into one operating picture without ripping out what you already run.
How is this different from our ERP?
ERP records financial history and confirms the loss after it is booked. MIDAS connects live asset and field signal to schedule and cost, so leadership sees the exposure before it is reconciled.
What does forward-deployed engineering mean here?
NBR sends engineers into the operation to map workflows, connect systems and field signal, model how the operation works, and ship deployed software leadership runs on — not a specification a slow vendor is still writing.
Can MIDAS connect signal from remote or offshore assets?
Yes. Where the signal exists — sensors, machines, field-unit performance, or crew updates — MIDAS reads it and ties it to the schedule, the cost, and the owner of the call.
Does adopting MIDAS mean replacing field crews?
No. MIDAS gives leaders and field teams a live operating picture so they can decide faster. The system flags what needs attention; people decide what to do.
