Every lease and light tower, accounted for
Track pad equipment and crew iron where lease roads lose signal.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration counts New Mexico as the nation’s second-largest crude oil-producing state, after Texas. That output runs on light towers, generators, water trucks and roustabout crews spread across leases. Gytix keeps their hours and locations in one record.
What the lease roads cost you
Blind past cattle guards
Past the cattle guard the cell signal drops, and most trackers go quiet until the truck comes back.
Towers left on location
Light towers and generators sit on a finished pad for weeks, still on rent or still burning fuel.
Hours from memory
Water truck and pump hours go onto the field ticket from memory at the end of a 14-hour day.
Idling on location
Trucks and generators idle for hours on location, waiting on the frac crew or the company man.
What an oilfield fleet connects first
Satellite tracking
The A1S sends position, hours and fault codes every 15 minutes where the lease has no cell signal.
GPS equipment tracking
A geofence on every pad, and B1 trackers on light towers, frac tanks and pipe trailers.
Fuel and emissions
Idle hours and gallons per truck and generator, matched to the lease and the field ticket.
Managed fleet desk
Fleet analysts watch after-hours movement on remote leases around the clock, as an add-on.
From the yard to every lease
- Week 1
Map leases and pads
We list every truck, tower, generator and pump, and mark which leases have no cell signal.
- Month 1
Gateways on the iron
A1 or A1S gateways on trucks and pumps, B1 trackers on towers, a geofence on every active pad.
- Month 3
Tickets match engines
Hours per lease feed the field ticket, and dispatch sees which towers are free before renting more.
Leases, signal and idle hours
Coverage on the lease. Across the Permian and the San Juan Basin, signal fades on lease roads, in canyons and behind mesas. Every A1 gateway stores 30 days of readings and sends them when the truck drives back into coverage, so the day’s route and hours still arrive. Where dispatch needs a live position, such as a water truck on a long haul or a transfer pump at a remote compressor station, the A1S sends position, hours and active fault codes by satellite every 15 minutes.
Idle time is a line item. A water truck idling on location while the frac crew rigs up burns fuel and puts hours toward its next service. Gytix splits engine hours into working and idle for every truck, generator and pump, by lease. That gives the operations manager a number to take to the operator when standby time belongs on the ticket, and a reason to shut down a light tower at sunrise.
Why the basin matters. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that New Mexico accounted for 15% of U.S. crude oil production in 2024. Behind that output are service companies moving towers, generators and trucks between leases an hour or more apart. Our field crews install from Hobbs, Carlsbad and Artesia to Midland, Odessa, Farmington and Bloomfield, so the person wiring the gateway already knows the roads.
Oilfield questions, answered
How do you track oilfield equipment without cell service?
With store-and-forward and satellite. Every A1 gateway stores 30 days of readings and uploads them when the truck drives back into coverage. The A1S adds a satellite modem that sends position, engine hours and active fault codes every 15 minutes, billed per gateway per month on top of the plan.
Can you track light towers and generators on well pads?
Yes. Most light towers and generators take a B1 battery tracker, billed per asset per month, which reports location once a day for up to five years. Where you bill run hours, an A1 gateway wired to the engine reads hours and fuel on the Field plan, and a geofence on each pad shows what is on location.
Do you install trackers on the Texas side of the Permian Basin?
Yes. Our field crews work the whole Permian Basin, from Hobbs, Carlsbad and Artesia to Midland and Odessa, and the San Juan Basin around Farmington and Bloomfield. Installation is charged per machine installed. Travel is included in New Mexico; for Texas and Colorado locations we quote a flat trip fee before the visit.
Can engine hours feed our field tickets?
Yes. Hours logged inside a lease geofence are summed per truck, pump and generator for each day, with idle and standby time split out. The daily report exports to your ticketing or accounting system by API or scheduled file. Your crew still signs the ticket; the hours on it come from the engine.
How is oilfield fleet management priced?
Per connected truck or machine, per month. Tracking is on the Field plan, month to month with unlimited users, satellite data is billed per gateway, and fuel, idle and dispatch reports are in the Command plan. A1 and A1S gateways are bought outright. Your written quote, sent within two business days of a walkthrough on your own fleet list, gives the exact figures.
