Barcode & RFID track & trace for the oil & gas supply chain

Industrial track and trace solutions that work from wellhead to warehouse. Barcode, RFID, and IoT solutions that identify parts, pipes, tools, and containers in harsh oil and gas environments.

From pipe mills and Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) yards to fabrication shops, platforms and refineries, Coriel Solutions delivers end-to-end identification and data capture, so you always know what you have, where it is, and its complete usage history. By combining rugged RFID solutions, accurate barcode solutions and secure IoT solutions, we enable hands-free identification, instant lookup of certificates and maintenance records, and a full, auditable chain of custody for every asset.

Oil & gas supply chain overview

Key challenges for the oil & gas supply chain ...

Safety, compliance and audit trail

Safety-critical assets must be uniquely identified and linked to accurate documentation. Our systems create a trusted digital history for every item, simplifying inspections, incident investigations and regulator audits.

Harsh environments and metal assets

Steel pipes, valves and tools are difficult to identify due to their metal content. We select the right tag types and readers, then optimise placement and shielding so assets can be read reliably in metal-dense, hazardous locations.

Lost time and poor utilisation

High-value tools and spares are often misplaced between workshops, laydown yards and offshore sites. Automated portals, handhelds and vehicle-mounted readers update locations in real time, cutting search time and improving utilisation.

Counterfeit risk and warranty control

Assure that critical components are genuine and within warranty. Each asset is tied to its certificates and product data, so teams can verify authenticity, check warranty status and confirm correct specification before use.

Turnaround & logistics complexity

During shutdowns and turnarounds, throughput and accuracy matter. Bulk read at gates and dock doors, maintain live inventories of pipes and skids, and capture proof of movement and delivery without manual scanning.

Make all your assets intelligent ...

corielTHINGS creates and manages GS1 and EPC-compliant barcodes, QR codes and RFID tags, building a unique digital identity for each asset. That identity links to certificates, drawings, pressure test records and service history, making critical information available to authorised users on any device.

  • Track precise location across yards, warehouses and offshore sites
  • Associate assemblies and contents for full item-level traceability
  • Manage inspection, calibration and cleaning tasks
  • Monitor contractor and partner usage of assets
  • Optimise the utilisation and lifecycle of your asset pool

Assured compliance, simple reporting ...

Accurate monitoring of assets and their contents makes regulatory adherence straightforward. Serial numbers, heat numbers, batch data, storage conditions and a complete movement history are all handled in one place. Simple dashboards and exports support regulator requests and internal audits without time-consuming manual collation.

  • Complete, auditable trail of movements and contents
  • Current and historic asset status, owners and locations
  • Proof of packing, dispatch, receipt and installation
  • Asset condition, inspection and calibration history
  • Role-based access to drawings, certificates and procedures

Know where your product and tools are ...

Once tagged, assets can be read at scale and at speed using handhelds, vehicle-mounted readers, portals and conveyor systems. Locations update immediately in your existing ERP, EAM or WMS via our platform connector, providing one version of the truth across operations.

  • Hands-free, operator-free identification at control points
  • Immediate updates to your backend systems
  • Micro-location within a site and macro-location across the network
  • Exception alerts for unauthorised moves and late returns

Typical oil & gas use cases ...

Tubular traceability

Track pipes, casing and OCTG from mill to rig with item-level IDs and a complete movement history.

Component identification

Intelligently tag: valves, spools, skids and assemblies to link parts to drawings, specs and certificates.

Tool tracking

Locate drills, pumps, cleaners, degassers and stabbing guides to cut loss and reduce downtime.

Point-of-use certification

Surface certificates and inspection records on site for faster QA and safety checks.

Turnaround logistics

Use bulk reads at gates and dock doors to speed receipts and dispatch during shutdowns.

Returnable containers

Track RTIs and containers between partners for accountability and quicker cycle times.
