Who We Are

Not a big corporation.
Just good people
who do great work.

GameAutomation was founded by brothers who grew up around the oil fields of South Texas. We started this company because we saw a gap — operators needed reliable, technically skilled partners who actually showed up and got things done without the runaround.

We're not a faceless company with a call center. When you work with us, you talk to the people doing the work. We take pride in every installation, every meter calibration, and every project we touch — because our name is on it.

Our focus is South Texas — the Eagle Ford Shale, the Permian Basin edge, and the border region. We know these fields, we know the operators, and we understand what it takes to keep production moving safely and efficiently.

"We built this company to be the partner we always wished we had out in the field." — The GameAutomation Team · South Texas
🤝

We actually pick up the phone

No ticket systems, no waiting 3 days. When something's down in the field, you need someone who answers. We do.

🔧

We own our work, start to finish

From design to installation to commissioning, the same team handles your project. No hand-offs, no surprises, no finger-pointing.

📍

We know South Texas

We're not flying in a crew from out of state. We live here. We know the formations, the operators, the conditions, and the fastest way to get to your location.

📋

Straightforward pricing, no surprises

We tell you what things cost up front. We stick to timelines. And if something changes, we tell you before we act — not after.

What We Do

Three divisions.
One team.

Every service we offer is delivered by people who've been in the field. No subcontractors we don't know, no cut corners.

📊
Measurement
Accurate measurement isn't optional in this industry — it's revenue. We install and calibrate the systems that tell you exactly what's flowing through your lines.
  • Flow meter installation & calibration
  • Orifice, turbine & Coriolis systems
  • Gas & liquid chromatography setup
  • Custody transfer measurement
  • Chart recorder & EFM service
  • Regulatory compliance reporting
🏗️
Construction
We build it right the first time. Our construction crews handle oil and gas field infrastructure — from skids and buildings to piping and equipment installation.
  • Skid & equipment installation
  • Electrical & conduit runs
  • Pipeline connections & tie-ins
  • Separator & tank battery setup
  • Site preparation & civil support
  • Prefab building & shelter install
🛠️
Maintenance & Field Support
Production doesn't stop on weekends — and neither do we. We offer ongoing field maintenance contracts and rapid-response support for automation and measurement systems across South Texas.
  • Scheduled preventive maintenance
  • Emergency troubleshooting & repair
  • Instrument calibration & loop checks
  • System upgrades & retrofits
How We Work

From first call to
field commissioning.

1

You call, we listen

No pitch decks. You tell us what's going on in the field, what you need, and what your timeline looks like. We ask the right questions.

2

We scope it honestly

We give you a straightforward proposal with real numbers. We'll tell you what's realistic and flag anything that could affect cost or schedule.

3

Our crew does the work

Our own people — not subcontractors we've never met — show up and execute the project. You'll know who's on your location.

4

We don't disappear

After commissioning we're still your point of contact. We support what we build. Most of our clients become long-term partners.

Our Territory

Rooted in
South Texas
oil country.

We're not a national company trying to serve everyone. We've intentionally stayed focused on South Texas because it's where we know the land, the people, and the fields best.

That means faster response times, crews that don't need a GPS to find your location, and relationships with local suppliers that keep your project moving even when supply chains get tight.

Our primary coverage area includes the Eagle Ford Shale, the Permian Basin edge in West Texas, and the border region around Laredo, Eagle Pass, and Del Rio. We regularly work in Webb, Zapata, Starr, Jim Hogg, LaSalle, McMullen, and Dimmit counties.

What is an Orphan Well?

An orphan well is an oil or gas well left unplugged with no financially responsible owner. When an operator goes bankrupt or walks away, the well becomes "orphaned" — no one is required to seal it.

Operators are legally required to seal wells at the end of their productive lives, but 160+ years of drilling history has left a massive backlog. Many were drilled before modern regulations, or transferred to increasingly insolvent operators who eventually disappeared.

The criteria: an unplugged well with no active production (typically 12+ months) and no responsible party on record.

Texas tracks these through the Railroad Commission, flagging wells with delinquent P-5 operator filings for more than 12 months.

Why It Matters

☁️
Methane Leaks & ClimateUnplugged wells leak methane — ~80x more potent than CO₂ over 20 years. A single well can emit for decades.
💧
Groundwater ContaminationCorroded casings allow oil, brine, and toxic fluids to migrate into aquifers used for drinking water and agriculture.
⚠️
Safety HazardsPressurized orphan wells can blowout unexpectedly and may emit hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) — a colorless, deadly gas.
🏚️
Land & Property LossOrphan wells make land unusable for agriculture or construction, lowering property values for rural landowners.
💸
Taxpayer LiabilityWhen no responsible party exists, governments bear plugging costs — ranging from $30K to over $600K per well.

Texas Orphan Well Program

🤠
Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) Texas has plugged ~650 wells using state funds and 64 additional wells using Phase 1 federal grant money through early 2025. The DOI Inspector General certified Texas met all requirements for its initial IIJA grant.

✅ Plugging Progress & Federal Action

The 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocated $4.7 billion through the REGROW Act. By September 2025, over $1.5 billion had been distributed to 26 states. Kansas has nearly eliminated its entire inventory. More than 9,600 wells have been plugged nationally, cutting methane emissions by ~155,000 metric tons per year.
