IoT technology can reduce the risk of safe operations in the oil and gas industry

It can reduce the risk of safe operation in the oil and gas industry.

In August 2015, an explosion at a natural gas processing plant on the west coast of Venezuela demonstrated that the oil and gas operating environment requires the highest level of safety measures.

The explosion occurred at a processing plant in the Carden IV block of the Perla gas field, about 50 kilometers northwest of the Gulf of Venezuela. The processing plant is one of the largest offshore gas fields in Latin America. Fortunately, the explosion did not cause casualties, but such incidents often cause casualties.

There are many potential causes of an explosion at the scene: the sudden release of gas under pressure, or the introduction of a fire source into an explosion or flammable scene. It is hydrocarbon emissions (HCR) that caused this explosion, which is simply a gas leak.

Natural gas leakage will inevitably occur during operation. Although great efforts have been made to reduce leakage, the innovation of remote monitoring technology can further reduce related risks.

Monitoring the presence of flammable gases in a potentially explosive environment is an important health and safety measure that requires the use of accurate measuring equipment. By combining the progress of the Internet of Things in remote networking and the innovation of monitoring technology, the achievements in this field can be significantly improved.

Internet of Things for remote monitoring of oil and gas drilling platforms

If applied effectively, remote asset management through network infrastructure will completely change the level of oil and gas operations. Although there is still some way to go for unmanned offshore oil rigs, the reduction in the number of operators required will bring greater cost savings and radically reduce casualties in emergencies.

The ability to remotely diagnose information has been widely used in public utilities. For example, remote assets have been controlled by telemetry technology for many years to manage multiple tasks. A typical example is the periodic reporting of asset status and the diagnosis of the probability of possible failure of the asset.

Historically, people have to check whether assets are working properly, which takes a lot of time and money, and the core is to put human lives in potentially dangerous environments. Therefore, remote monitoring and inspection of these assets can not only greatly reduce operating costs, but also reduce inherent security risks.

Ubiquitous network connection

The popularity of cloud technology and the Internet has brought major changes and unlimited possibilities to remote asset management. Cloud is an infrastructure or network where applications can run on multiple different computers at the same time, while remote asset monitoring requires extensive Internet connections.

Monitoring equipment installed on local assets transmits data to a central server in real time instead of physically transmitting it on site. When real-time data is transmitted to software such as the Gas Emission Monitoring System (CEMS), the company can continuously collect, record, and analyze the data remotely.

Improve management through monitoring

When remote asset monitoring is combined with the accurate and real-time information of cloud technology, it can have a significant positive impact on the level of oil and gas operations from monitoring to management. It enables companies to obtain information about extreme events and make correct strategic decisions based on historical data.

Data gives people insight, and insight enables better management, which in turn reduces risk. The high risk of the oil and gas industry matches the high return, and any action to reduce risk means that a higher return can be obtained.

At the end of 2015, a fire broke out on a drilling platform in the Caspian Sea, killing dozens of oil workers. The reason was that a natural gas pipeline was damaged in high winds. By recording key data in the cloud, the company can timely understand the impact of extreme weather on oil rigs and implement measures to reduce the occurrence of similar incidents. If the rig owner can clearly understand the possibility of such incidents, then the workers may have evacuated the site long ago.

Human Factors

Ironically, the most critical factor for the successful deployment of IoT communication systems for remote asset monitoring is human participation. The network infrastructure will feed back accurate information in real time, but professionals still need to interpret and analyze the information in order to turn it into actionable insights to make wise decisions. The application of the Internet of Things also needs to design fail-safe devices to ensure that human intervention can be upgraded immediately when needed, and the monitoring system itself can be monitored.

The best Internet of Things application is not to replace humans, but to improve people's ability to make correct decisions; reduce costs, improve capabilities, and more importantly, reduce risks.

This is most applicable to the high-risk oil and gas industry, but it is also an industry that can obtain a lot of additional benefits through network monitoring infrastructure. As regulations become more targeted, more complex, and more legally binding, oil and gas companies need to take advantage if they want to maximize the financial potential of their business in an increasingly uncertain environment. The most innovative IoT technology.

Loudspeaker

We engineer loudspeaker solutions that offer great durability, quality sound, and peak performance. When an electrical signal is applied to the voice coil it generates a magnetic field. The voice coil and magnets within the Speaker interact causing the coil and attached cone to move, generating sound. Our loudspeakers incorporate large magnets and particular voice coils to handle a broad range of frequencies and sounds. Additionally, our loudspeakers can be configured in multiple cone materials, sizes, shapes and gaskets to adapt to different operational environments. We have provided loudspeaker solutions for both indoor and outdoor applications. Our loudspeaker designs can be found in home theater systems and on the handlebars of some of the most exquisite motorcycles.
