    - Diverse Application Support - for a variety of new applications including integrated exploration and production operations, improved productivity and collaboration as well as ensured safety and security of critical assets.

Diverse Application Support

For oil and gas companies, satellite connectivity is a critical part of their core communications infrastructure. Increasingly, it’s relied on to support a variety of new applications

Integrated exploration and production operations - To stay connected to their operations around the globe, oil and gas companies require greater integration between remote exploration, production sites and corporate offices. By providing reliable voice, data and video access, our network supports real-time information exchange between in-field operations and experts back at headquarters. The result is faster, more accurate analysis of exploration and drilling data that optimizes production and contains costs.

Improved productivity and collaboration - IP-based broadband satellites enable oil and gas companies to affordably run a variety of bandwidth-intensive applications that enhance productivity and improve collaboration, whether that’s sending live video feeds from an oil rig or from the ocean floor, or equipping exploration vessels, workboats, tankers, OSVs, production platforms and remote drilling sites with full corporate network access. Further, satellite connectivity has opened up new opportunities to automate operations and manage them more efficiently from afar.

Improving safety and security - Oil and gas companies can rely on always-on, high-speed broadband to enable real-time access to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) information while simultaneously supporting higher bandwidth applications such as video surveillance at remote locations to monitor operations and assess damage to critical assets when it occurs. In addition, advanced data encryption keeps SCADA and other information sent over the network secure.

Crew welfare - Beyond rig operations, the demand for increased bandwidth can also be seen in a new generation of crew. These individuals are accustomed to instant and ubiquitous connectivity. Web surfing, emails and texts are part of their daily life and even more necessary during long stretches away from home. Satellite networks can also be used for telemedicine, providing a link to medical staff from any location.
