Devon Energy is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company based in Oklahoma City OK. Devon operates in the Anadarko, Delaware, Eagle Ford, and Rocky Mountain regions. Devon energy's national assets are supported by a privately constructed and managed SCADA and radio communications network.

At Devon I worked on the 9th floor in production automation. My summer project involved automating the detection of remote field device and radio tower connections. Automatically determining the communication status of every radio tower in the field and intelligently displaying this information, along with dynamically building a representative hierarchy of this communication infrastructure and its relationship to field devices and wellpads.

Plow Technologies is an industrial automation and SCADA company based in Oklahoma City OK. The company is unique in providing both full service automation along with SCADA tools via OnPing for monitoring site data remotely. Plow technologies provides automation and SCADA services to companies in the automotive, energy, food processing, and municipal sectors.

At Plow I had the opportunity to work on two different projects. The first was to create a program that could calculate downhole dynamometer cards with data from any oil well's surface card. The second was to create firmware (and an assembly) that would read and write digital, analog, and PWM signals over MQTT. Along with these projects, I also helped solve small issues in OnPing's frontend, and to test some of the capabilities of Phoenix Contact's PLCNext platform.
