Maximising the successful operation of the oil &
gas rigs of the future will depend on bandwidth
usage level of 100 times that of today. This was
the analysis of Brastrading, the Florida, USA,
based company which provides engineering and
high-level logistics, services, equipment and
worldwide telecom solutions for the oil & gas
market. Multi-path communications,
applications-aware networks, universal device
IP-connectivity – all be required to improve rig
on-board situational awareness, enable faster
decision-making, facilitate real-time remote
control, increase automation, lower operating
costs, and create a safer working environment.
This analysis was presented during the
GVF Oil & Gas Communications Brazil 2014: Big
Oil, Big Data: The Deepwater Ocean Expanse
conference – the 20th event in
the series, and the 4th to address the
communications networking imperatives of the
Brazilian region of the global ‘oil & gas patch’
– which took place in Rio de Janeiro on 15th &
16th April 2014.
Yet, already, the oil and gas industry, and the
satellite solutions community, are turning their
collective attention to the next event in the
global series, the 21st, and the 7th to be held
in Aberdeen. As at the above date, a very strong
line-up of organisations, speakers, and
panellists have stepped-forward to contribute to
GVF Oil & Gas Communications Europe
2014: Big Oil, Big Data – North Sea, Atlantic
Margin, Arctic Ocean, taking place on
Tuesday 13th to Wednesday 14th May, at the
Marriott Hotel, Dyce, Aberdeen, Scotland.
Commenting on the Aberdeen event programme,
Martin Jarrold, GVF Chief of International
Programme Development and Conference Chairman
said, “O&GCommsEurope 2014
already has a fantastic speaker/panellist
line-up, perhaps the best-ever, ready to examine
the full range of satellite-based
communications, and integrated
satellite-terrestrial hybrid communications
solutions, to which the oil & gas industry turns
to play a vital role in providing the essential
connectivity and access to vital applications.”
