Short answer: eLynx Technologies is a cloud SCADA and data historian service for oil and gas, based in Tulsa. It polls your controllers, raises alarms and can control equipment remotely. If you need control, eLynx is built for it. If you need to see tanks, pressures and runtime on conventional wells without running a SCADA project, TinyPumper is the lighter fit: your team self-installs it in 8 minutes, and it bills one flat rate per site.
Picture the compressor tripping at 2 a.m. on a lease 40 miles from town. You don’t need to restart it from your kitchen. You need to know it quit, so the pumper heads there first instead of last. That gap between “see it” and “control it” is the whole decision on this page.
Is eLynx or TinyPumper the Better Fit for My Wells?
It depends on whether you need to control equipment or watch it. If you need to start pumps, close valves or tune lift controllers from the office, eLynx is the better fit. If you need tank levels, pressures and runtime on conventional wells where SCADA never penciled, TinyPumper fits. As of October 2026, TinyPumper costs $349 a sensor, one time, plus one flat monthly rate per site. If you already run SCADA and want a cloud historian on top of it, eLynx is built for that job too.
What Is eLynx Technologies?
eLynx Technologies is a web-based SCADA and historian service for oil and gas, founded in 2000 and based in Tulsa, Oklahoma (eLynx About page, 2026). It says it serves over 40,000 wells and assets for more than 1,000 production and midstream companies (eLynx About page, 2026). You may also see it written as e-lynx, e‑lynx™, or misspelled elynx tecnologies. It is the same Tulsa company.
In plain words: eLynx connects to the controllers and flow computers on your lease, pulls their data on a schedule, stores it in the cloud and sends alarms. It works with most major hardware makers, so you don’t have to rip out what you have.
What Does eLynx Do Well?
- Long track record. 25 years in oil and gas is a real comfort for a careful buyer.
- Works with existing gear. eLynx says it polls all lift types and popular controllers (eLynx SCADA page, 2026).
- Remote control. Start and stop pumps, open and close valves, and change lift setpoints, with a log of every change.
- Field paperwork built in. Tank gauge sheets, run tickets and liquid allocation live inside its SCADA service.
- Historian over existing SCADA. Its WebHost tool ships data from your current SCADA database to the eLynx cloud.
That is a serious toolset. For an operator with automation people on staff, it earns its keep.
Where Does eLynx Get Heavy for an Independent Producer?
eLynx is SaaS, but the field side is still a SCADA build. Someone has to pick the instruments, wire them to a controller, power the site and set up a comm link. eLynx is open on the link (radio, Starlink, fiber and others), and its own Starlink guide says you need a business plan with a static public IP and maybe a third-party router (eLynx Starlink guide, 2026). If you don’t have a controls tech, that work goes to an integrator.
Three other things to know:
- The marginal-well plan reads once a day. eLynx’s Limited SCADA plan for marginal wells collects data once a day on up to 12 tags, with alarms delivered daily (eLynx plan page, 2026). A tank that starts climbing at noon may not show up until tomorrow.
- The full price isn’t public. eLynx lists service “starting at just $10 per asset” (eLynx plan page, 2026). Hardware, install and comm costs are not published there, and those are usually the big numbers.
- More vendors, more points of failure. Instruments, comms, installers and the SCADA service can each be a different company.
How Does TinyPumper Compare?
| eLynx Technologies | TinyPumper | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Cloud SCADA and data historian | Self-installed lease monitor |
| What it watches | Whatever your controllers and instruments report | Tank levels, pressures (wellhead, flowline, injection) and engine or compressor runtime |
| Control | Yes: pumps, valves, setpoints | No. It watches, it doesn’t control |
| Install | Instruments, controller, power and comm link, often by an integrator | Your team self-installs in 8 minutes. No electrician, no trenching |
| Power | Site power or solar you design | Solar-powered gateway, wireless sensors |
| Data frequency | Polling from once a minute to daily; once a day on the marginal-well plan (eLynx, 2026) | Hourly reports; sensors check thresholds every 5 minutes and alert right away |
| Coverage | Depends on the comm link you set up | 100% continental US coverage over satellite |
| Pricing | From $10 per asset for service (eLynx, 2026); hardware and install not published | $349 a sensor, one time, then one flat rate a month per site, unlimited sensors |
| If it breaks | Ask the vendor | Lifetime hardware replacement |
| Trial | Ask the vendor | 60-day money-back, we pay return shipping |
Where a cell says “ask the vendor,” eLynx’s public site doesn’t say. Ask them directly before you sign.
When Is TinyPumper the Better Fit?
- Your wells are conventional and SCADA never penciled. TinyPumper gives you roughly 99% of SCADA’s upside at about 95% less than SCADA.
- Your SCADA is aging and costs more to keep alive than it returns. TinyPumper drops in as a replacement for the monitoring side.
- You have no controls tech. If you can change a lightbulb, you can install TinyPumper.
- You want to know the same hour, not the next morning. Sensors check thresholds every 5 minutes and send the alert right away.
- You want one bill per site. Add another tank or pressure sensor on the same site and the monthly rate doesn’t move.
Producers running TinyPumper report cutting lease runs by 30 to 50 percent and catching failures days sooner. Every well with a TinyPumper sensor gets free Greasebook, so your pumper’s numbers and the sensor’s numbers land in one place. See the whole lease picture in our oil well monitoring systems guide.
TinyPumper is GreaseBook’s sister product. It has 100% continental US coverage, because we use satellite. It connects up to 8 sensors per gateway. It comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. It carries lifetime replacement on all equipment, every sensor included.
TinyPumper self-installs in 8 minutes. $349 a sensor, one time, then one flat rate a month per site. 60-day money-back.
See TinyPumperWhen Is eLynx the Better Fit?
Be honest about the job. eLynx is the better pick when:
- You need remote control: shutting in a well, closing a valve or tuning a plunger from the office. TinyPumper doesn’t do that.
- You run custody transfer measurement and need archive file collection and distribution.
- You already run SCADA and want a cloud historian over it.
- You have a mixed fleet of controllers and want one service to poll them all.
If that’s you, our oil and gas SCADA guide covers what to ask.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is eLynx?
eLynx Technologies is a Tulsa company that sells cloud SCADA and a data historian to oil and gas producers and midstream operators. It connects to the controllers and flow computers on a lease, pulls their data on a schedule, stores it online and sends alarms. It can also control equipment remotely, such as starting pumps or closing valves. It was founded in 2000 as a web-based SCADA service.
What is the best eLynx alternative?
It depends on the job. If you need remote control or a historian over existing SCADA, look at other SCADA providers. If you need to watch tanks, pressures and runtime on conventional wells without a SCADA build, TinyPumper is the lighter alternative. Your team self-installs it in 8 minutes, it reports over satellite, and it costs $349 a sensor, one time, plus one flat rate a month per site.
Are there eLynx Technologies reviews?
Software directories list eLynx Technologies, but on the public listings we checked in October 2026 we found no user-written customer reviews to quote. The best review is a reference call. Ask eLynx for two producers your size running wells like yours, and ask them what the install took and who did the work. Ask TinyPumper the same question.
Does TinyPumper replace eLynx’s remote control?
No. TinyPumper watches; it doesn’t control. It will not shut in a well or change a pump setting. It tells you the moment a tank, pressure or compressor crosses the line you set, so your pumper goes to the right lease first. For most conventional wells that covers what you would pay SCADA for, at about 95% less than SCADA.
Does TinyPumper need a comm link or power at the site?
No. The gateway is solar powered and reports over satellite, which gives 100% continental US coverage. Sensors talk to the gateway wirelessly, so there is nothing to trench and no electrician to schedule. One gateway connects up to 8 sensors. Your team self-installs it in 8 minutes, and every order comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee.
