ELynx

eLynx operates as a specialized technology provider focused on the oil and gas industry, offering a cloud-based platform for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA).

The company originated from American Central Gas Technologies Inc. (ACGTI), a natural gas pipeline company that identified a need for remote well monitoring. This led to the official founding of eLynx in 2000 by co-founders Stephen “Steve” Jackson and Stephen J. Heyman to deliver a web-based SCADA solution as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. Jackson, who had a background in founding and developing several companies across various industries including oil and gas, led the company as president and CEO until January 2020. The current President and CEO is Samantha McPheter, who joined the company in 2009 and progressed from customer support to Chief Product Officer before her promotion.

eLynx's core business revolves around providing real-time data collection, production reporting, and remote monitoring and control for oil and gas assets. The platform serves over 1,000 production and midstream companies, monitoring more than 40,000 wells. Revenue is generated through a tiered subscription model, with pricing based on the number of assets and the level of functionality required, making it accessible for both large and small operators. The service helps clients optimize production, reduce operational costs, and mitigate risks by providing actionable data-driven insights.

The platform's key features include a robust data historian, field data capture capabilities, and advanced alarming systems designed to combat alarm fatigue among operators. A key component is the eLynx Rules Engine, a multivariate system developed in partnership with engineers to provide real-time diagnostics. The company has also ventured into predictive analytics and machine learning, developing tools that forecast equipment issues before they occur. These solutions integrate with business intelligence tools like Spotfire and Tableau, allowing clients to leverage their data for broader analysis. The service is accessible via web and mobile applications, providing operational data, graphs, and alarms on the go.
