Hi guys!

Any experiences connecting Oil & Gas drilling rigs data systems to Ignition? Either directly or through _translators_ (e.g. [Kepware](https://www.ptc.com/en/store/kepware/suites/wits-suite)). Specifically interested in the connectivity and WITSML side of it, dos and don'ts, etc.

I couldn't find a single mention of WITSML in the forum, so just looking for integrators with the right experience out there; will contact anyone through DM for additional discussions and engagement.

Thanks.

Kepware has a WITS driver suite, I wouldn’t expect too much drama getting that data into Ignition.

It is definitely possible, we have fully integrated the WITSML for our Oil & Gas client. It can get very complicated though, everything was custom written and runs from the pylib folder in Ignition!
