OIL AND GAS
|
Oil and gas fields can span hundreds or even thousands of square miles in remote areas that often lack cellular coverage. Some are subjected to extreme cold, ice and snow, others to searing heat and still others to high humidity, wind, rain and salt fog. Tropos networks meet the communications needs of oil and gas exploration and production, delivering reliable, high capacity networks that operate over large areas under extreme conditions to increase operational efficiency and safety.

Tropos’ wireless broadband network solutions provide a scalable and reliable foundation to securely support multiple applications on one cost-effective physical infrastructure. A single network can simultaneously support a range of oil and gas exploration and production applications such as:
- SCADA – production and injection well monitoring, measurement, logging and control; source and disposal water well monitoring; emergency equipment shutdown and recovery
- Real-time video feeds and surveillance – increase situational awareness; enhance security by monitoring wellheads and other key facilities
- Safety and security systems – improve worker safety; enhance facility security with control access
- Drill rig communications and diagnostics – monitor drill bit depth and tilt, mud weight, temperatures and pressures; remotely run diagnostics and analyze results
- Asset tracking – track and update the location of assets in the field to improve operations and to enhance safety and security
- Field workforce connectivity – keep work crews in the field connected with access to SCADA data, instant messaging and email at remote sites even if they lack cell service
- Voice – use IP phones for mobile worker voice communications even in remote areas with no cellular coverage
