What It Is

Production Manager is a field data capture and production reporting system for oil and gas producers. It is operated as a product under 2Com Consulting. According to the official website, it has been active in the oil and gas industry since 2006 and is used as a key production management tool by most oil and gas producers in Western Canada. Its core goal is to integrate field entry, SCADA imports, production feedback, company-level reporting, and analytics into a single system.

Core Capabilities

The product is designed around the oil and gas production data workflow. Field operators can enter data such as tank volumes, truck tickets, and gas meter readings in a single interface, and the system also supports automatic SCADA imports. The mobile app, Prodman Field, supports Apple and Android devices and can record entries offline when there is no internet or cellular signal, then automatically upload them once connectivity is restored. This makes it suitable for low-connectivity environments such as well sites. On the reporting side, it provides corporate summaries, weekly sales summaries, raw production data reports, map views, oil marketing reports, as well as Lease Ops revenue, operating expenses, and BOE-related metrics. Diagnostic dashboards can monitor SCADA delays or anomalies, negative inventory, conflicts between tank gauge readings and inventory, major production fluctuations, and test schedules.

Pricing and Deployment

The official website does not disclose plans, pricing, a free version, or trial information. In terms of deployment, the site clearly states that the system is fully web-based, requires no installation or local support, and can be accessed via browsers on phones, tablets, laptops, and PCs, while also offering mobile apps. It does not specify whether private deployment, API access, or developer documentation is supported.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths lie in its strong industry focus and its coverage of key oil and gas production workflows from the field through to financial and management reporting. Its offline capabilities and SCADA imports are well suited to field production environments. The truck application also allows transportation company drivers and dispatchers to participate in ticket entry and verification. The main drawbacks are that pricing, security and compliance details, the permission model, the specific list of third-party integrations, and API capabilities—key concerns for enterprise procurement—are not publicly disclosed, so further confirmation from the vendor is required during evaluation.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to production operations teams, engineering teams, accounting staff, and management in Canadian and similar oil and gas production environments. It is not intended for general-purpose enterprise data collection or broad cross-industry reporting needs. The official website does not provide information about access from mainland China, so its availability there is unknown.
