For oil & gas and pipelines

Your lead operator knows every station's startup sequence. Keep what they know.

KeptLabs turns 60-second voice notes from your operators and pipeline techs into answers the whole crew can search. Built for production, midstream and pipeline teams.

The numbers

When a lead operator retires, what they knew usually goes with them.

Most of it was never written down, so the next person learns it the hard way.

47%

of U.S. workers have had to train themselves because a retiring coworker's knowledge wasn't passed on.

92%

of organizations don't consistently capture knowledge from employees about to retire.

What it captures

The stuff that never makes it into the procedure.

Your procedures are documented. The way each station really starts up, and what goes wrong there, is not.

Startup & shutdown

The real sequence for each compressor, the valve that has to open first, what to watch while it comes up.

Compressor notes

The unit that trips on high discharge temperature in summer, the vibration to watch, the fix that worked.

Valves & pigging

The valve that takes two people, the launcher that needs extra care, where pigs tend to hang up.

Safety steps

Isolation points, gas checks before entry, and what NOT to do at that station.

Station access

Directions, gate codes, the lease road that's out after rain, who to call to get in.

Parts & vendors

Which parts fit each unit, the vendor tech for each controller, the after-hours contact.

In the field

Ask it like you'd call the lead operator.

  • Record at the station or in the truck from a phone's browser. Nothing to install.
  • Each note is transcribed and filed under the equipment and the site it's about.
  • Scan the QR sticker on a compressor, a skid or a station building door to see its notes or record a new one.
  • Notes are tagged with the problem, cause, fix, parts, tools and warnings.
  • No signal at the station? In the installed app, notes wait on the phone and upload when you're back online.
  • Anyone on the team searches in plain words or asks a question, and gets the answer from your notes along with the notes it used.

Compressor C-3 · Station 12

“Station 12, compressor C-3. On startup, open the suction valve slowly before the discharge, or it trips on low suction every time. Let it run unloaded for five minutes before you load it. In summer it trips on high discharge temperature by mid-afternoon if the cooler fins are dirty, so wash them on the first visit in June.”

Problem: trips on low suction at startupFix: open suction firstCause: dirty cooler fins
