      The oil and gas value calculator

      Unlock the full potential of private 5G for your oil and gas operations. Our value calculator helps quantify the financial and operational impact when integrating private 5G into your infrastructure.

      Benefits of using private networks in oil and gas

      Use this calculator to estimate your return on investment in smart oil and gas operations. Simply enter your details and discover potential savings across four key use cases.

      Baseline oil and gas refinery*

      Assumptions are based on a mid-sized, petroleum refinery, and the pre-filled numbers represent the following:

      175.00 k
      BPD (Barrels Per Day) throughput
      4.00
      square kilometers
      2000.00
      employees
      15.00
      safety inspectors per shift dedicated to safety-related compliance

      How to use this calculator

      • Select one or more use cases by checking the boxes. Keep in mind, deploying all four together will maximize greater gains. The "standard private network connectivity" use case is pre-selected and cannot be unselected.
      • Enter your refinery's area (in sq km for network coverage), production throughput (in BPD), engineer costs, total employees using the network, and the number of technical/safety inspectors. 
      • Watch the ROI update in real-time. Hover over the value buildup chart to see the percentage benefits for each use case.

      *Based on a joint 2024 study between Ericsson and its industry partners.
