Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) is India’s leading producer of crude oil and natural gas.
Headquartered in New Delhi and operating as a Maharatna enterprise, the organization manages an extensive network of onshore and offshore assets that are critical to the country’s domestic energy production. To maintain this critical infrastructure, ONGC made the strategic decision to establish a centralized, 24/7 Production Operations Control Centre (POCC) at IPEOT, Panvel.
The main challenge was to create an environment capable of enabling faster and more accurate decision-making by integrating complex production dashboards, live operational video, and multidisciplinary collaboration into a single unified visualization. The solution needed to deliver high-impact visualization to ensure complete situational awareness while remaining intuitive for daily use and scalable for future operational requirements.
To support the creation of the new Production Operations Control Centre, ONGC selected Datapath as its technology partner for the video wall and operator KVM systems. Datapath platforms were chosen for their proven performance in mission-critical environments, where reliability, security, and ease of use are essential.
At the core of the POCC is a Datapath-powered interactive LED video wall that combines high-performance visualization with secure KVM workflows. This enables operators to access and control multiple workstations and live sources directly from the video wall through a fast and intuitive interface.
Thanks to Datapath’s multi-source visualization capabilities, teams can simultaneously view SCADA and production dashboards, operator PCs, IP camera feeds, and web applications without disrupting the primary operational view.
Integrated KVM control allows operators to switch seamlessly between sources for monitoring, troubleshooting, and decision-support tasks, while multi-touch and multi-user interaction facilitates collaborative work during shift briefings, incident response, and executive reviews.
Designed for enterprise control room environments, the Datapath-T1V platform supports on-premises deployments, secure workflows, and integration with unified communications systems. This ensures operational visibility can extend beyond the main control room to adjacent spaces and remote participants while maintaining professional control-room-grade performance.
The POCC is designed to support demanding and continuous operations, where teams need instant access to complex information and frictionless collaboration. Our role was to provide a secure, high-performance visualization and KVM platform that allows ONGC teams to work with confidence, both today and as operational requirements evolve, explains Andy Lee, Senior Business Development Manager at Datapath.
“Our focus was on reliability, simplicity, and a platform that end users could operate easily without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Datapath helped us achieve this through its easy-to-use Aetria touch panel, which provides fast, smooth, and efficient KVM control”, says Ranbir Singh, Director at Pan Intellecom Ltd.
The Datapath-enabled POCC has transformed the way ONGC monitors and manages its production operations. Operators can now move seamlessly between multiple sources, positioning dashboards, camera feeds, and applications side-by-side to support faster and better-informed decision-making.
By enabling collaborative interaction on the video wall and extending situational awareness beyond the main control room, the POCC provides a secure, scalable, and future-ready operational hub that supports ONGC’s mission-critical activities around the clock.
