History
Incorporated in 2004, GlobaLogix offers a full spectrum of technology services from the “wellhead to the website”, designed to help companies find a balance between innovations in technology and old-fashioned resources.
At the time of the company’s founding, the industry was dealing with unprecedented price rates coupled with limited technical resources. Companies were seeking better methods to competitively manage assets at an economical cost – leading GlobaLogix to develop solutions in remote monitoring and automation.
In 2007, GlobaLogix was named the fastest growing company in Houston, by the Houston Business Journal. Sales from 2006-2007 rose 1400 percent from $347K to $5,017MM, outpacing all other technology company growth in the Houston area. Growth continued in 2008 and again in 2009 with a posted 90%+ growth in revenue. Headcount of the staff passed the 100 mark in 2009 and in early 2010 was in excess of 115.
Services
GlobaLogix founded its business on the idea of providing multiple services to clients, including wireless, satellite, radio, Wi-Fi, supervisory control and data acquisition or SCADA, human-machine interface, and programmable logic controllers. Because GlobaLogix is not tied to any one product or software package, the company is able to employ a variety of technologies to each of its client’s projects.
The company employs engineers, programmers and information technology managers to handle the technical side of its project operations, and also maintains a staff of traditional field technicians for labor in the oilfields.
GlobaLogix helps companies achieve greener operations in their oil and natural gas fields by leveraging predictive maintenance to proactively address field problems, avoid shutdowns and reduce the number of miles driven each day by field personnel.
GlobaLogix' consultant services include evaluating current oilfield operations and presenting plans for more efficient automated systems that incorporate existing equipment where possible, helping companies move towards a digital oilfield operation with significant cost savings.
