Natural Resources

Expand and Innovate With 5G

The natural resources industry is transforming in response to intense global competition and pricing pressures. As a result, the oil, gas, and mining industries are looking for new ways to significantly cut costs and accelerate the pace of innovation with automation efficiencies delivered by technologies such as IoT, machine learning, and robotics. In short, they are adapting and adopting the Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 for their business. At Oceus, we enable these solutions in challenging environments, including those of the natural resources industries.

Because natural resources businesses often work in harsh conditions and remote locations, reliable, secure networking can be a challenge. And as more automation and other efficiency tools are deployed, the sheer volume and diversity of devices, sensors, cameras, and controls—along with the high volumes of data captured for analysis—call for a wide range of performance requirements that may not be currently available with existing networks or are cost prohibitive using satellite communications.

Enterprises that want to transform their business and operational processes seek cost-effective communications solutions that will enable promises offered by the Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0, including:

• Data to transform
• Data to increase output
• Data collected from devices which are linked from machine to data-crunching engines and securely transmitted in actionable form to decision makers. Reliably. Securely. Persistently.

To enable continued transformation with new use cases and operating models, many natural resources enterprises are looking for networking solutions that support the innovation required to maintain competitiveness.

Private cellular networks enable emerging use cases, helping natural resource enterprises with:

• Automation, remote monitoring, and real-time asset management for safe and efficient extraction of hydrocarbons from remote or distant fields
• Capturing and transmitting high volumes of real-time data generated by machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT systems with a high quality of service
• Providing deeper operational insights to optimize business processes, leveraging automation and big data
• Enhancing unmanned or “low-manned” remote control and operations management of machines, drones, cranes, and robot arms for unattended production and cost reduction
• Enabling mega campus management to support collaboration for diagnostics and maintenance to reduce costs

In addition, private cellular networks eliminate or minimize costly and complex satellite communication that was previously required to maintain links with sites and vessels. And, remote monitoring over a cellular network can enhance personnel and equipment safety in remote locations while increasing productivity and efficiency.
