OIL AND GAS REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS

Oil and gas companies want to cut down on operational expenses and become more profitable.  To do this, the industry has become a leader in adopting digital transformation, adopting the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics and digital technologies to manage physical equipment and help make better-informed decisions.

At the heart of these technologies and their management lies a network that supports fast data processing and crystal-clear communications. Whether in drilling, exploration or production, this connectivity becomes the lifeblood of your operations, connecting your people, assets and equipment. It’s essential for the operational technology that runs the technology and equipment relied on in the industry.

If you want the peace of mind of knowing that your network is in the hands of true and experienced professionals, get in touch with Smile IT today!

BENEFITS OF A HIGH SPEED REMOTE NETWORK

Predictive Maintenance

Consistent communication with your critical assets helps you stay on top of upkeep schedules, performing maintenance in time to reduce breakdowns and downtime. Increased lifespan, improved safety and maximised productivity results.

Improved Health and Safety

Reliable and fast connectivity is a cornerstone of health and safety in the oil and gas industry. It improves the operational safety of machines on site, with real-time safety monitoring becoming a standard feature. It also allows for quick communications and dispatch in the case of an emergency.

Operational Analytics

Gathering extensive operational data daily helps inform your decision-making processes, while guiding how to optimise production, reduce energy use and manage emissions. The optimisation of drilling speeds can be a massive cost-saving factor in the oil and gas industry.

Remote Operations Centre

Remote drilling can significantly reduce the number of people on a rig, reducing costs and improving health and safety. A high-speed remote network will allow for advanced VR capabilities and data visualisation, while supporting extensive automation.

Less Downtime

Unplanned downtime is a massive cost for oil and gas companies and any step to mitigate it is always welcomed. Improved equipment maintenance, enhanced communications, better training and support and data-informed decision-making all contribute to reducing downtime on a rig or site. 

Compliance

There’s an overwhelming amount of regulatory laws and regulations in the oil and gas industry, and staying on the right side of them is essential to avoid negative consequences. Having fast, reliable and secure connectivity helps meet compliance requirements.
