Helm provides real‑time permit compliance monitoring for oil and gas operators by continuously reading live operational data from systems such as SCADA and AVEVA PI and checking it against EPA permit conditions. The platform alerts users to potential violations before regulators detect them, running on‑premises so plant data never leaves the company’s network. It integrates with existing infrastructure without requiring new hardware or system replacements.

Problem
Oil and gas operators must continuously ensure that their plant operations comply with EPA permit conditions, but manual monitoring of SCADA and AVEVA PI data is time‑consuming and often detects violations only after regulators identify them.
Solution
Helm delivers real‑time permit compliance monitoring by connecting directly to existing SCADA and AVEVA PI systems and continuously evaluating live operational data against the specific conditions outlined in EPA permits. The on‑premises software flags potential violations as they arise, giving operators the opportunity to remediate issues before regulators intervene. Because the solution runs within the operator’s own network, no additional hardware or data‑exfiltration is required, preserving existing infrastructure and data security. Helm’s alerts are presented through an intuitive interface that highlights the relevant permit clause and the associated operational metric, enabling rapid corrective action.
Target Audience
Primary customers are compliance managers and operations engineers at mid‑size to large oil and gas production facilities who need continuous, automated monitoring of environmental permit conditions.
