Background
With the rapid development of energy demands surging worldwide, the Oil & Gas industry requires higher efficiency in management and operation. Safer production, flexible dispatching, accurate monitoring, and quicker response in emergency all demand a secure, reliable and efficient communications solution.
The first challenge is how to achieve an effective mobile communication in all the work places, such as office, refinery factory, transportation dock, fuel storage area, scattered across a vast region with difficult terrain.
The second challenge is security. Oil and gas industry is always connected with risky environments which have possible existence of inflammable and combustible dust or gas. It is a must to equip people operate in such hazardous environments with intrinsically safe equipments.
Hytera, a leading designer and manufacturer of professional mobile radio communications equipments, is dedicated to delivering innovative intrinsically safe end-to-end communications solutions to Oil & Gas companies across the world to protect their staff and asset in hazardous environments, while enhance productivity at the same time.
Hytera understands what’s underneath the challenges of Oil & Gas professionals, and tailors solutions to address their demands.
Explore, Extraction & Production
Rugged and reliable equipments that can withstand extreme harsh environments are vital for prospecting teams working offshore, in deserts and other remote areas.
Distribution
Oil tank trucks, railway vehicles and pipelines can be better monitored and coordinated via appropriate communications solutions.
Refineries
Powerful grouping and dispatching functions in communications system are essential to refineries in terms of task assigning and extensive management. Facilities and control centers with intrinsically safe architecture also challenge the wireless coverage network with blind zones.
Pipelines
Pipelines always cover thousands of miles, while the maintenance personnel scatter along the track. Seamless coverage of the whole pipeline area is crucial for operators in the control center to stay in touch with maintenance personnel. It ensures efficient communications to set up an emergency handling team in unexpected situations.
