Oil and Gas
Upstream and midstream, turned over on time.
Arbiter's project experts take facilities, pipeline expansions and processing projects from tag takeoff to handover to operations, with every check sheet, deficiency and turnover package in one system.
Why it matters
First production waits on the last turnover package.
On a new facility or an expansion, production can't start until every system is mechanically complete, commissioned and handed over. When records are scattered, the final weeks become a search for missing paperwork. Arbiter keeps them current from the first check sheet.
30k–100k+ bbl/day
Upstream facilities delivered with Arbiter.
Nearly 10,000 approvals
Completed on one new facility in the heavy oil sector.
Early first steam
On an $850M SAGD project.
Weeks saved
On tag takeoff and tag count, done inside Arbiter.
Where projects lose time
Where oil and gas projects lose weeks.
Takeoff starts late
Counting tags from P&IDs by hand takes weeks, so the completions plan is behind before construction starts.
Records scatter across contractors
Check sheets, deficiencies and test records sit in different binders and spreadsheets, so nobody can see which systems are actually ready.
Turnover is built at the end
When packages are assembled after the work, the gaps surface at commissioning, which is when they cost the most to fix.
How it runs
One flow from planning to production.
The same sequence runs on upstream facilities and midstream projects, from pipeline expansions to processing stages and production flows to distribution.
01 · Plan
Tag takeoff and tag count
Systems, subsystems and tags are built into Arbiter from your P&IDs and drawings, saving weeks of work.
02 · Assign
Check sheet assignment
The right check sheets attach to every tag automatically, and Dynamic ITP runs one check across many tags.
03 · Build
Mechanical completion
Crews complete digital check sheets in the field, and deficiencies are raised and tracked to closure.
04 · Approve
Approvals and sign-off
Inspections are signed off in the system, so status is current the moment work is approved.
05 · Turn over
Turnover packages
Packages build as work is signed off, system by system, ready for commissioning.
06 · Hand over
Commissioning and handover to operations
Operations receives a complete, current record of every system on the agreed date.
People plus platform
Experts embedded with your project leadership.
A team sized to your scope, from a single Completion Specialist on a pilot to a full rotation on a major project, working for your project leadership in Arbiter every day.
We join at planning, ideally, or at mechanical completion or commissioning.
- Planning and configuration delivered before your crews mobilize
- Completion Specialists on site, running the work in Arbiter every day
- The platform stays with you, configured as your own tool

Project synopsis
From planning to production, on schedule.
Our team has decades, not years, of experience in this sector bringing the industries most ambitious projects online, on time and on budget. And Arbiter was developed with that knowledge of success as its foundation.
On one new heavy oil facility, nearly 10,000 approvals were completed in Arbiter. Read how an $850M SAGD project reached first steam early.
Compliance and records
Audit-ready from the first check sheet.
DocuLink ties every drawing and document to the check sheets that use it, and keeps the field on the current revision.
One of our prime construction contractors passes external ISO 9001 quality audits on the consistency of its Arbiter records.
FAQ
Oil and gas questions, answered.
Question
Which oil and gas projects do you support?
Answer
Upstream and midstream. Upstream facilities producing 30,000 to more than 100,000 barrels a day, and midstream pipeline expansions, processing stages and production flows to distribution.
Question
How much time does tag takeoff save?
Answer
Tag takeoff and tag count inside Arbiter save our clients weeks of work compared with building the register by hand from drawings.
Question
When should Arbiter join the project?
Answer
Ideally at project planning, so the tag takeoff, check sheets and turnover structure are in place before crews mobilize. We can also join at mechanical completion or commissioning.
Question
Do you supply people, software, or both?
Answer
Both. Our Completion Specialists run the work on site in Arbiter, and the platform stays with your team, configured as your own.
