ONGC Launches ‘NETRA’ Platform to Transform Production Operations Control

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) accelerated its digital transformation journey with the launch of an integrated digital platform, NETRA, designed for its Production Operation Control Centre (POCC). The initiative marks a significant step toward modernising upstream operations and enhancing production intelligence.

Strategic Launch at IPEOT

The platform was inaugurated at Institute of Production Engineering and Ocean Technology (IPEOT) by Pankaj Kumar, Director (Production). The launch underscores ONGC’s commitment to leveraging advanced digital technologies to improve operational oversight and efficiency.

Powered by the “Bytes to Barrel” Vision

Aligned with ONGC’s “Bytes to Barrel” vision, NETRA is designed to transform large volumes of operational data into actionable insights. By integrating multiple functions into a unified system, the platform enables seamless data flow and real-time visibility across production assets.

Integrated Capabilities for Smarter Operations

NETRA brings together a wide range of advanced capabilities within a single platform. These include real-time production monitoring, advanced analytics, predictive insights, well and network modelling, optimisation workflows, and digital twin technologies. As a result, ONGC can streamline workflows, improve coordination, and optimise production processes more effectively.

Enhancing Decision-Making and Efficiency

With NETRA in place, ONGC can make faster and more informed decisions. The platform improves accuracy in resource management while enabling proactive interventions through predictive analytics. Consequently, it enhances operational efficiency and reduces uncertainties in upstream activities.

A Shift Towards Data-Driven Performance

Importantly, ONGC views NETRA not just as a technological upgrade but as a transformation in its operational approach. By focusing on speed, precision, and data-driven performance, the company is redefining how production operations are managed in a digital era.

Strengthening Innovation in Upstream Operations

As reported by projectstoday.ai, NETRA supports innovation across ONGC’s upstream value chain. By leveraging integrated data and advanced modelling tools, the platform enables continuous improvement and fosters a culture of digital innovation within the organisation.
