Electronic & Wireless Technology: the most targeted technology conference for the Energy industry

“With today’s complex field structures, fast, cost effective communication transfer (both voice and data) from offshore facilities to onshore central control centers is an essential part of maximizing productivity. While traditional fixed line technology can support this, it is costly, slow to set up, slow to transfer data and has safety, integrity and reliability challenges.”

Wireless and electronic technology provides an exciting option for faster, more reliable communication platforms.

The benefits of electronic and wireless technology to operate fields are clear to the industry but what’s stopping you from implementing it possibly include:

1. The absence of an international standard for the specifications of wireless systems that put data integrity and other HSE considerations offshore at stake
2. The lack of proof of reliability and in-house expertise in the continued maintenance of these systems
3. The lack of proven cases – no field has been fully electronically operational
4. You are therefore, at a stage where you’re making cost-benefit analysis

What can you expect at Electronic & Wireless Technology 2008?
Providing a fresh agenda developed by and for IT, Communications, Technology & Control Engineering professionals, this year’s programme will address the A-Zs in your understanding of wireless applications so you can make an informed decision.

This April, meet the leaders who have successfully pioneered wireless programmes on their assets across the globe to achieve your top 3 priorities:

1. Compare the latest technologies available to monitor your remote assets and personnel

• StatoilHydro - has developed a robust wireless sensor networking with Sintef to manage remote pipelines and assets
• Brunei Shell - has brought wellhead parameters closer to flow station with an electronic setup
• VICO Indonesia - explored IP as an infrastructure to centralise control and optimise remote monitoring

2. Enable efficient data management through secure data transfers and optimum real-time data extraction

• Saudi Aramco - compared the main encryption and data integrity systems before selecting the cellular voice digital packet for secure data transmission
• Khafji Joint Operations - increased bandwidth and information delivery with Canopy wireless

3. Ensure the inter-operability and ongoing reliability of new technology platforms for centralised communication

• Medco Energi - achieved 99% reliability and accuracy of data transmitted through tight selection of electronic devices
• PNOC - supported an entire electronic network with negligible breakdowns

PLUS! Translate these case studies into a solid business case for a wireless/ electronic field through:

• 2 Exclusive Keynote Addresses by Luigi Salvador and Ashishkumar Chauhan to pick up lessons learnt to overcome challenges at the planning and implementation stages
• 3 Dedicated Masterclasses that will provide you with in-depth insights on the
• 3 Interactive Discussions to thrash out all your operator-contractor differences and completely eliminate project bottlenecks with a foolproof checklist
• VIP Breakfast Meeting to weigh all the milestones that stop you from implementing a new technology in your business with other like-minded Management heads

Seize the opportunity to be a part of this unique platform in the region and join the successful line of industry leaders who have gone ahead with wireless safely. Register online today to save your seat!
