Well Integrity
An increase in either the annulus or bradenhead pressure can result in a well shut-in, increased workers, or a potential safety/environmental incident

Changing Production
A change in the flow of pressure or temperature can indicate a reduction in flow leading to decreased production or wellborn damage.

Maintaining Secondary Recovery
Non-monitoring of injection rates can lead to increased operating costs and in certain cases, decreased recovery efficiency and reduced production.

Health & Safety
Manual monitoring and repairs increase time in the field, resulting in elevated personnel risk and more exposure to site-related hazards.

Environmental
Leaks caused by mechanical failures can have an environmental impact. Early detection of abnormal conditions such as sand and erosion can help avoid leaks and their consequences.

Communication
Lack of timely and reliable communication leads to deferred/lost production and increased costs.
