ntelligent Operations’ connect people, processes and
technologies for safer, smarter oilfield working. The
exploration and production sectors have embraced the
concept and whole technical industries have been built around
it. But intelligent operations are possible only because of satellite
communication. Without satcom, people and machines cannot
talk to each other. And without communication, companies cannot
operate intelligently.
In today’s climate, using intelligent operations as a foundation
for creating efficiencies at all stages of the E&P cycle has become
more important than ever. Data generated during a seismic survey,
downhole data from drilling operations, pipeline inspection data; it
is all more valuable today because when used to actively improve
operations, tangible cost savings can be realised.
