Oil and Gas Communications 2012

Understanding the importance of satcoms and telecommunication channels

21st to 22nd March 2012, Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, United Kingdom.

Energy exploration is moving into new and isolated regions and the technical workforce, both on and off site, face many new challenges. In order to reduce risk, improve productivity & efficiency, reduce costs and safety threats in such demanding working environments, a robust and reliable communications solution is needed. The need for oil and gas companies to ensure reliable connectivity to all major human and operational assets is crucial. Often far removed from infrastructure and security, the Oil and Gas industry works in some of the harshest environments on earth. Our forthcoming Oil & Gas Communications conference will address the requirements, challenges and emerging communication solutions companies are deploying to mitigate risk and ensure success.

Why should you attend this event?

The deployment of robust communication architectures are vital in the management and optimization of critical assets, and reducing vulnerability across the entire value chain.
