Embedded controls, test automation, and lab data systems delivered across oilfield services operations across more than a decade of engagements. Selected examples:
Hardware abstraction layer for tool string manufacturing test, IR spectrometer reservoir fluid hydrocarbon analysis system, downhole reservoir tool dynamometer test development, and a bench top reservoir analysis tool test application for a large oilfield services company.
Friction loop automation that drives fluid through compacted core samples to measure viscosity and friction, a rock permeability tester for fluid flow through rock formations, and an internal lab website and database designed to get data well-formed for AI and advanced analytics.
Phase 1 and Phase 2 V&V in hardened bunkers with explosion shielding, designed for safety with high-energy neutron sources under immense pressures used in downhole well logging, plus a bunker monitoring system.
Closed-loop circulating hydrocarbon flow loop with integrated pressure and flow gauges, wellhead choke valve automated test system, conduit run automated test validation, automated barcode part tracking, and test cell scrubber and cooling stack automation.
Multi-year on-site software and hardware support of frac pump test cell. Includes multiple OS migrations of test cell control system.
Multi-year support and upgrades to the embedded control system for the client’s flagship electronic fracking pump truck fleet.
Critical test equipment OS migration and revalidation to ensure continued operation following OS end-of-life.
Production-grade control systems for e-frac fleets, manifold automation, and high-pressure test environments where failure is not an option.
We design oilfield test sets and controls as mission-critical systems, with interlocks, fault handling, and diagnostics that behave predictably under pressure.
Automated choke test systems for wellhead choke valve performance characterization and automated test procedures for new conduit run testing and validation of oilfield flow control equipment.
Industrial components, clear interconnects, and documentation that a field tech can follow at 2 a.m. on dirty power.
Automated data acquisition, lab instrumentation, and structured databases that turn ad hoc test data into engineering-grade datasets ready for analysis and AI.
Whether you are tuning chemistry, qualifying sensors, or debugging tools, you need traceable, timestamped data you can compare across runs and fleets.
High-pressure flow loops, friction loops, and core flow systems with automated sequences, calibration checks, and reporting.
Unit-aware data capture, metadata, and QA checks that turn ad hoc logs into datasets ready for analysis and modeling.
Multi-year embedded partnerships, hazardous environment expertise, and a track record of transforming operational data quality.
We maintained continuous on-site presence at frack pump test cells across multiple years. We stay until the system works, the operators trust it, and your team can maintain it without us.
We build and commission systems in environments most integrators avoid: pulse neutron source tool bunkers with explosion shielding under immense pressures, and high-pressure closed-loop hydrocarbon flow loops.
We transform ad hoc test logs and spreadsheet-based data into structured, unit-aware databases with metadata and traceability. The chemistry lab web application and database we built is specifically designed to prepare operational data for AI and modeling workflows.

“Rockstar tool validation experts.”
“Skilled experts, strong leadership & great service.”
“Worked with this team a few times. Always professional quality software delivery and great communication.”
“Great team at Good Automation, can always trust that they will get the job done no matter the industry or complexity.”
“Great folks with strong core values, excellent leadership, and solid engineers. It’s always a pleasure working with them.”
“Very impressed with the product that was delivered to us. It was obvious they take great pride in their work. They’re an easy recommendation for anyone in need of some LabVIEW expertise.”
GA is a great resource for LabVIEW development! We were developing an automated test system with various instruments at a large medical device company…
To alleviate workload we outsourced part of the software libraries related to instrument interfaces, hardware abstraction, and API drivers for test app developers to leverage. Long story short, among all the integration companies that responded to our RFQ, GA came back with the best price, most comprehensive and substantive quote, and ultimately an on-time above-par deliverable (in fact, its framework and technical rigor is praised by other integration companies working on this platform today).
I first met Albert DeWeese several years ago when he came over to Cochlear Australia to run a workshop on medical device V&V best practices for our Test Systems team…
Albert was right on his game and immediately understood where we were and helped us get to where we needed to be. He was able to understand our systems and procedures right from the software running on the floor to our procedures and practices to deploy those systems. I had some great one on one sessions with Albert that were exceptionally productive and enjoyable and has shaped the architecture of the test system software in use today at Cochlear. On the fun side we all caught up with Albert and his team in Austin TX and had a few drinks down on 6th street. Meeting the team from Good Automation and being in the Medical Device industry I have to say that these guys are experts in Test Systems, V&V processes and procedures. I consider Albert a mentor and a friend and we continue to involve Good Automation in our new business Medulla.
“Ab helped me on a project where we needed some help validating a system for a medical device company. He basically got it done very quickly and very well…
He is very enthusiastic and hits the ground running. In fact, he hits the ground running ahead of you because of his deep knowledge of and background in the medical device world. The medical device world requires not just really good engineering but also really good documentation systems around it, and Good Automation is good at both of these.”
“This is a great team. They really dig into your problem, understand what is needed and then execute the plan to perfection…
I love working with their team and really respect the integrity, work ethic and focus on quality they bring to every project. Hands down the best LabView and test automation group I have ever worked with.”
“Good Automation has helped us with several projects and has done a great job. They were able to work remotely to modify and write new LabVIEW software for…
our medical device and complete all the validation tasks as well. We could not find a better partner to help us.”
“Bell had a legacy system that was near the end of its lifecycle and replacement parts were not readily available…
Good Automation designed a complex, high channel-count, simulation and measurement solution that was compatible with existing components, reducing our costs and saving us space.”
“Good Automation architected our software for a brand new product. They worked with our software and hardware teams to integrate multiple systems and software languages…
We are very pleased with the work Good Automation has done.”
“Applied Avionics have been quite satisfied with Good Automation’s responsiveness and technical knowledge. They have provided both turn-key solutions and programming only…
In both cases, they did an excellent job. Their LabVIEW software expertise is formidable.”

If you have a test set, flow loop, or control system everyone avoids but nobody can live without, that’s where we help. Tell us what you’re testing, how it fails today, and what “safe and reliable” looks like. We’ll map a path from here to field-ready.
