Wellhead Monitoring Software
Built for Producing Wells

Merobix Engineering • Cloud-Hosted or On-Premise • Updated

Merobix puts every well on one dashboard — tubing and casing pressure, flow, tank levels, and pump or ESP data — and pages the right person by SMS in under 30 seconds when something goes wrong. It connects to the RTUs and controllers already on your wells, runs cloud-hosted (live in 3–5 days) or on your own servers, and comes with a Texas field crew that commissions it on-site.

What Wellhead Monitoring Covers

Wellhead monitoring software watches the points that decide whether a well is making money right now: pressures at the tree, whether the pump is running, how much fluid is moving, and how full the tanks are. A down well should announce itself in seconds — not wait for tomorrow's drive-by. Here is what Merobix monitors on a typical producing well:

Point ClassTypical Points MonitoredTypical Alarm Callouts
Wellhead pressuresTubing pressure, casing pressure, flowline pressureHigh line pressure, low tubing pressure, packing-off trend
Artificial lift (rod pump, ESP, gas lift)Pump status & runtime, motor current, ESP drive data, cycle countsWell down, pump-off, ESP trip, excessive cycling
Flow & productionFlow rate, daily totals, meter totalizersFlow deviation, zero-flow with pump running
Tank levelsOil & water tank levels, separator dumps, haul-off trackingHigh tank level, haul needed, level not moving
Site healthGateway status, controller communication, powerCommunication loss, power failure

Every point is historized with no retention limit, so decline curves, pump runtime comparisons, and before/after checks on a chemical program come out of the same system — no spreadsheet assembly. For the full engineering treatment of sensors, telemetry paths, and alarm strategy, see our wellhead monitoring system guide.

How Merobix Monitors a Well

The architecture is deliberately simple. A small gateway at the site connects to whatever is already controlling the well — pump-off controller, ESP drive, RTU, or PLC — over the protocol that equipment already speaks. The gateway forwards data over cellular to the Merobix platform, and every well appears on a single dashboard with live values, trend history, and alarm state.

The full platform capability list is on the features page; the platform's security architecture and both hosting models are detailed on the security page.

See it on live data: a guided demo walks through a working dashboard — wells, alarms, trends, and the mobile app — before you commit to anything.

Works With the RTUs and Controllers Already on Your Wells

Most wells already have the hardware wellhead monitoring needs — a pump-off controller, an ESP drive, an RTU, or a PLC that knows the pressures and statuses. What is usually missing is the software layer that gets that data off the pad and into the hands of the people running the route. Merobix ships 20 protocol drivers across 7 protocol families, so connecting existing equipment rarely requires replacing it:

Where a site does need control work — a controller with no spare comms port, logic changes discovered during commissioning, a panel that will not pass inspection — the same Merobix team handles Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLC programming and builds UL 508A control panels, including C1D2 construction for classified wellsite locations. One vendor, one work order.

Cloud-Hosted or On-Premise — Same Platform

Merobix is one of the few wellhead SCADA systems sold both ways, so IT policy does not force a platform change later. The cloud service is managed by Merobix end to end; the on-premise edition installs on your servers or VMs with full data residency, including air-gapped networks.

Live in Days, Not Months

Traditional per-site SCADA projects take weeks to months because every site means server builds, licensing, and integration work. A cloud-hosted Merobix deployment is typically live in 3–5 days:

  1. Site survey — confirm what your pump-off controllers, RTUs, and PLCs already report, and identify any points that need instrumentation.
  2. Gateway install — mount, power, and antenna placement, verified for cellular signal at the actual site.
  3. Point mapping — every pressure, level, status, and runtime tagged and scaled correctly on the first pass.
  4. Alarm setpoints with your foreman — thresholds set by the people who know the wells, so day one does not drown the route in nuisance alarms.
  5. Pumper training — dashboard and mobile app, on the tailgate if that is where the crew is.

Merobix is based in Texas with its field crew working out of the Midland area, serving operators across the Permian, Houston, DFW, and the rest of the US. West Texas operations get on-site commissioning from the local crew — see our SCADA monitoring page for Midland and the Permian Basin.

Put numbers on it: the Merobix ROI calculator compares your current gauge-run hours and downtime response against exception-based monitoring, using your well count and your labor costs.

Plans That Scale From First Well to Full Field

Merobix is offered in Starter, Professional, and Enterprise plans — flat and all-inclusive, with no per-tag, per-client, or per-protocol fees, so monitoring well 41 does not require a budget meeting. Enterprise adds hot standby redundancy, enterprise authentication (LDAP, SAML, RADIUS, FIDO2) with SIEM integration, historian federation, and integrations with SAP, Maximo, ServiceNow, PagerDuty, AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Kafka, and Tableau. The full feature matrix is on the plans page; pricing is custom-quoted for your well count — request a demo and a quote in the same conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does wellhead monitoring software do?

Wellhead monitoring software collects tubing and casing pressure, flow rates, tank levels, and pump or ESP data from equipment at the well site and presents it on a live dashboard with trend history. When a value crosses a setpoint — a well goes down, a tank level climbs toward the top gauge, an ESP trips — the software pages the right person. Merobix delivers SMS and email alarm callouts in under 30 seconds, historizes every point with no retention limit, and shows the same data on desktop and mobile.

Does wellhead monitoring work with the RTUs and controllers already on my wells?

In almost every case, yes. Merobix ships 20 protocol drivers across 7 protocol families — including Modbus TCP and RTU, OPC UA and DA, EtherNet/IP, Siemens S7, DNP3, and MQTT Sparkplug B — which covers the pump-off controllers, VFDs, RTUs, and PLCs already installed on most producing wells. Monitoring is added by connecting a gateway to existing equipment, not by replacing controllers. Where a site does need control work, the same Merobix team programs Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLCs and builds UL 508A panels, including C1D2 construction for classified locations.

How fast can wellhead monitoring go live?

A cloud-hosted Merobix deployment is typically live in 3 to 5 days: a site survey confirms what your controllers already report, a cellular gateway is installed and wired to existing equipment, points are mapped, alarm setpoints are configured with your foreman, and pumpers are trained on the dashboard and mobile app. On-premise installations on your own servers or VMs take longer and are scheduled case by case.

Is Merobix wellhead monitoring cloud-only?

No. The same platform is offered two ways: a cloud-hosted service that Merobix manages for you with a 99.9% uptime SLA, or an on-premise installation on your own servers or VMs with full data residency — including air-gapped networks. Operators choose the architecture that fits their IT policy without committing to a different product later.

What is the best wellhead monitoring software?

It depends on your staffing and infrastructure. Ignition and FactoryTalk are strong, widely deployed platforms for operators with in-house SCADA engineers and servers to run them on. Merobix is built for operators who want wellhead monitoring live in days without standing up servers — every well on one dashboard, SMS callouts in under 30 seconds, flat plans with no per-tag fees, and a Texas-based crew that commissions on-site. Pricing is custom-quoted for your well count; request a demo to compare against your current setup.
