The $5M downtime drain oil & gas operators can’t ignore.

It starts small.

A sensor trips on a compressor. A pipeline valve doesn’t close on time. A technician radios in that something “looks off.”

By the time the report reaches headquarters, hours have passed. The decision-makers don’t have enough context to act quickly. And in oil & gas, those hours are expensive.

For midstream and downstream facilities, production delays can shave millions from quarterly revenue — and erode trust with partners and regulators.

This isn’t about catastrophic failures. It’s about the small execution gaps that compound into major costs.

Why paper and PDFs can’t keep pace.

Most operators still rely on:

  • Paper forms filled in after the fact.
  • Disconnected mobile apps that don’t talk to each other.
  • Verbal updates and email chains.

The result?

By the time reports reach HQ, the damage is already done — and production is already lost.

The execution gap.

Your ERP shows the work order.
Your maintenance system shows the inspection log.
Your QHSE team tracks incidents after the fact.

But between “assigned” and “completed” there’s a blind spot: how the work actually got done.

That gap is where downtime, compliance risk, and production loss live.

How leading operators are closing the gap.

Forward-thinking oil & gas companies are embedding digital execution into every frontline workflow. With Atheer:

  • Mobile SOPs guide every technician step, in sequence.
  • Photo and video proof capture execution in real time.
  • Timestamps and user IDs validate who did what, when.
  • Supervisor sign-offs and escalation tools push issues up the chain instantly.
  • Centralized audit trails ensure HQ sees the full picture — without chasing paperwork.

Instead of waiting hours (or days) for a report, decision-makers see what’s happening live — and can act before downtime snowballs.

The impact.

Operators using Atheer have reported:

  • 30% faster issue resolution.
  • Significant downtime reductions across rigs and plants.
  • Audit prep time cut from days to hours.
  • Improved safety outcomes with proof built into every workflow.

One field ops leader put it simply:

Why this matters for oil & gas leaders.

Downtime isn’t just a maintenance issue. It’s a board-level risk.

If your execution proof lives in PDFs, binders, or emails, you’re not just slowing your teams down — you’re gambling millions on assumptions.

Atheer helps operators turn every task into its own defensible record, closing the execution gap that drains revenue, trust, and time.

Because in oil & gas, if you can’t see it, you can’t stop it.
