Oil and gas maintenance software

Keep production running and SAP up to date.

Arkyn puts SAP work orders in your crews' hands at the wellsite, along the pipeline, and inside the refinery, and brings every report back to SAP.

Your uptime depends on data that reaches SAP.

Your assets sit a long way from the office, and the people maintaining them are a mix of your own technicians and contractors. When the work happens out of signal range, SAP hears about it late, and next week's schedule gets built on guesses.

Arkyn works offline, syncs when the signal comes back, and brings contractors into the same SAP workflow as your crews.

"This mobile tool seamlessly extends our SAP maintenance processes, while adding native capabilities like speech-to-text and object scanning, and it has been very well received by our field service technicians."

Oil and gas maintenance challenges

Common challenges in oil and gas maintenance.

Remote and offshore sites with no connectivity

Platforms, pipelines, and remote facilities often lack reliable cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Arkyn operates fully offline and syncs to SAP when connectivity returns. No data is lost.

Heavy reliance on contractors

Specialized contractors perform a significant share of maintenance work, but their reporting rarely flows back to SAP. With Arkyn, contractors report from a mobile app. You approve every submission before it touches SAP. No SAP accounts needed for contractors.

High cost of unplanned downtime

A day of downtime can cost a large refinery about $2.5 million. When planners work from outdated schedules and incomplete data, preventive work gets missed. Arkyn gives planners a live view of workloads and capacity so the right work gets prioritized.

Safety and regulatory compliance burden

Inspection and safety documentation must be complete and auditable. Paper-based processes create gaps between what happened in the field and what SAP records. Arkyn captures compliance data digitally and writes it to SAP on submission, with every entry tracked.

Arkyn's benefits for oil and gas operators

Why it's time to make the change.

Work and report from offshore or remote, offline.

FastWork runs fully offline on platforms, pipelines, and remote facilities, and syncs to SAP when connectivity returns. No data is lost.

Contractors report via app, approved before SAP.

Contractors report time, materials, and status from FastExternals, and you approve every submission before it touches SAP. No SAP accounts needed.

Live view of workloads and capacity across assets.

FastPlan gives planners a live view of workloads and capacity across every asset, so preventive work is scheduled before it is missed.

Safety forms write back to SAP automatically.

Inspection and safety forms are completed in FastForms on mobile, and every submission writes back to SAP with every entry tracked.

Maintenance software for upstream, midstream, and downstream.

The work looks different at a wellsite, a compressor station, and a refinery, but in each case the record your planners rely on lives in SAP.
Upstream

Wellsites and production facilities are spread out and often out of signal range. FastWork gives technicians work orders, asset history, and documents offline, when they need them. FastNotifications lets operators and technicians report an issue to SAP via a simple app that they can use without training.

Midstream

Pipelines, compressor stations, storage facilities, and LNG terminals are spread across remote sites. Energy Transfer, which manages over 130,000 miles of energy infrastructure, runs FastWork for 8,000+ field technicians who work offline and sync to SAP when the signal returns.

Downstream

Planners at refineries and processing plants use FastPlan for its live view of capacity, FastForms puts SAP-integrated checklists on technicians' mobile phones, and FastExternals helps your team manage contractors and connect their reports to SAP.

What 13 oil and gas risk filings say about maintenance.

We read the fiscal year 2025 risk disclosures of 13 of the largest oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP.

All 13 name equipment failure or operational disruption as a material risk, and all 13 flag regulation and compliance. Only 7 of the 13 treat talent and skills as a distinct risk, even as the industry’s frontline workforce ages and retires.

Some frequently asked questions.

Yes. Arkyn works fully offline. Technicians access work orders, capture data, and report from anywhere. Everything syncs to SAP automatically when connectivity returns.

You distribute SAP work orders to contractors through Arkyn. They report time, materials, and status from a mobile app. You review and approve every submission before it reaches SAP. No SAP accounts needed for contractors.

Yes. Admins build inspection forms with drag-and-drop, bind fields to SAP data, and route forms to the right technician. Every submission writes back to SAP and is tracked for audit purposes.

Most deployments go live in 2 to 6 weeks. Arkyn provides pre-built SAP PM and CS process coverage, so you are not building integrations from scratch.

Many large operators run SAP PM or CS as their maintenance system of record, paired with software for mobile work execution, planning and scheduling, digital forms, and contractor management. Standalone CMMS products exist, but for an SAP enterprise, replacing the system of record is rarely realistic. The practical question is what to run on top of SAP to help get the most out of your ERP.

EAM, or enterprise asset management, is how operators manage the maintenance and performance of physical assets like wells, pipelines, terminals, and refinery equipment across their lifecycle. In practice most operators run EAM through SAP PM, with the day-to-day work happening in apps connected to it.

If SAP EAM (PM or CS) is your system of record, you will want software that enhances SAP rather than replacing it. Your options are SAP’s own mobile apps, third-party apps built for SAP, and custom builds. Compare them on offline reliability at remote sites, contractor reporting, time to go live, and adoption rates from comparable deployments. Most Arkyn deployments go live in 2 to 6 weeks, with 85% average adoption. We compare the main options, with prices, in our guide to SAP work order apps.

Yes. Energy Transfer, one of the largest midstream energy companies in the US, uses FastWork for 8,000+ field technicians who maintain its pipelines and associated facilities. Technicians work offline along the route, and every report syncs to SAP when they’re back in coverage.

Move each checklist to a mobile form tied to the asset in SAP. With FastForms, admins rebuild the paper checklist in a drag-and-drop builder, bind fields to SAP equipment and functional locations, and route each form to the right technician. Technicians fill it out on iOS or Android, even offline, and every submission writes back to SAP, is tracked, and can be exported as a PDF for compliance records.
