History

Detechtion was founded by Alan Taylor

A recognized industry expert, who began developing a non-invasive diagnostic tool to analyze compressor operating performance and reliability in the late 1970s.

For over 20 years, he used this program as an engineering consultant to the major oil and gas companies around the world to troubleshoot compressors.

During this period, Alan continuously added functionality and intellectual property to the program, creating a unique tool in the industry. In the late 1990s, Alan’s son, Brian, was working as a summer student at a compressor packaging company when he quickly recognized the limitations of the vendor software he was using and shared his frustration with Alan. Together, Alan and Brian saw the opportunity to market the offering.

Timeline

1998
Alan and Brian founded Detechtion and began marketing the tool, Enalysis. As online technology was in its infancy, clients faxed in data, reports were generated, recommendations were manually added and the reports were faxed back to the client.
2001
The fax and pay business model was limiting the company’s growth, and with the internet becoming ubiquitous, Brian saw the opportunity to allow clients to enter their own data. Partnering with Cyberwave Technologies, Brian transformed Enalysis into one of the first “Software as a Service” technologies.
2002
Detechtion expanded into the United States with new partners Andrew Miles and Cavan Carlton. Since then, Detechtion has experienced steady growth of 15%-20% annually, opening new offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Brisbane, Australia.
2006
Detechtion was ranked 70th in Profit Magazine’s 100 Fastest Growing Companies in Canada, achieving 919% growth over the previous 5 years.
2013
Detechtion continued its growth in Houston, Pittsburgh, Calgary and Brisbane, and acquired Cyberwave to insource product development.
2013
In November 2013, Element Partners acquired the majority interest in Detechtion, recognizing the growth potential in broadening the product offering and further penetrating the United States market.
2016
Detechtion acquired Enbase LLC to deliver an Industrial IoT platform for solutions in the oil and gas industry.
2022
Detechtion and INNIO Group partnered to launch the SKIDIQ product suite. This cloud-based digital solution integrates INNIO’s Waukesha engine analytics with Detechtion’s real-time compressor monitoring and optimization technology, enhancing reliability, throughput and emissions reduction.
2023
Resurgens Technology Partners acquired the majority interest in Detechtion, recognizing the growth potential in broadening the product offering. This investment will help Detechtion expand its suite of solutions to serve the oil and gas market more deeply, as well as leverage its existing capabilities in new industrial segments facing similar asset monitoring and optimization challenges.
2024
Detechtion Acquires EZ Ops – a Leading Oil & Gas Field and Logistics Management Solution – Extending Mobility and AI Capabilities for Customers.
