Information Technology (IT) Consulting Services in Houston for the Oil and Gas Industry

Oil & Gas IT Consulting Services in Houston
DESSS provides information technology consulting for oil and gas companies in Houston, covering IT strategy, cybersecurity, cloud, enterprise applications, data and field connectivity. We have worked with energy sector clients since 2002.
We support operators, oilfield service providers, midstream businesses, engineering firms and energy technology companies. Energy IT carries constraints most industries do not: remote sites with limited bandwidth, operational technology that cannot simply be patched on a Tuesday, a contractor-heavy workforce, and reporting obligations that follow the barrel from the field through to the financial statement.
Our work starts with what the business needs in order to run reliably and safely, then fits the technology to it. To discuss an oil and gas IT project, call (713) 589-6496.
Our Oil & Gas IT Consulting Services
IT Strategy and Roadmaps
Assess the current estate, agree priorities with operations and finance, and set a phased roadmap tied to production, cost and compliance objectives rather than to vendor release cycles.
IT/OT Integration and Field Connectivity
Connect field and plant systems to business systems without exposing control networks: segmented architecture, brokered or one-way data transfer where appropriate, and connectivity designed for remote sites with limited or intermittent bandwidth.
Cybersecurity for Energy Operations
Identity and access control, network segmentation, endpoint and email defense, vulnerability management and incident response planning, scoped for environments where an outage carries physical and safety consequences.
Cloud and Hybrid Cloud
Workload placement decisions, migration of the systems that genuinely benefit, and hybrid designs that keep latency-sensitive or field-dependent workloads close to where they run.
ERP, CRM and Business Applications
Selection, implementation, integration and support for ERP and CRM platforms, including joint venture accounting, AFE and procurement workflows, and land and contract management.
Data Management, BI and Analytics
Consolidate production, operational and financial data into reporting the business trusts, with governed definitions so the number in the board pack matches the number in the field report.
Legacy Modernization and Migrations
Assess aging applications and databases, then rehost, re-platform or rebuild them with attention to data integrity, historical records and the reporting that depends on them.
Application Development and Maintenance
Custom applications and ongoing maintenance for the workflows packaged products do not cover, from field data capture through to vendor and contractor management.

Why Choose DESSS for Oil & Gas IT Consulting
Houston Energy Sector Experience
Based in Houston and working with energy clients since 2002, so the operating context, vendor landscape and reporting obligations are familiar.
Business Systems and Field Systems
Experience on both sides of the IT/OT boundary, which is where most energy technology projects actually become difficult.
Practical Sequencing
Roadmaps phased so each stage delivers something usable, rather than a long program that only pays off at the very end.
Support After Delivery
Ongoing maintenance, monitoring and enhancement, so the systems keep working once the project team moves on.
An oil and gas IT consultant assesses how technology supports production, operations and reporting, then plans and delivers the changes needed. That covers strategy, cybersecurity, cloud, enterprise applications, data and field connectivity, with the sector's operational and regulatory constraints built into the plan.
Remote sites with limited bandwidth, operational technology that cannot be taken offline casually, a contractor-heavy workforce, joint venture and regulatory reporting, and budget cycles driven by commodity prices all change what a workable solution looks like.
It is the controlled connection of operational technology in the field or plant with business IT systems, so operational data reaches reporting and planning without exposing control systems to the corporate network or the internet.
Yes. We integrate with and support the platforms you already run, and recommend replacement only where the current system genuinely cannot meet the requirement.
We start with identity, segmentation and visibility, prioritize the paths an attacker would realistically use, and plan for incident response, because in energy environments downtime carries safety and production consequences.
Yes. Remote access, endpoint management and connectivity for field locations and rotational staff are a routine part of the work.
Both. We deliver defined projects and also provide ongoing managed support, maintenance and enhancement.
