Digital Communication Solution For Oil&Gas
High Efficiency and Safe Production
Hytera Solution For Oil&Gas
The Oil and Gas industry nurtures a very strong safety culture, even under the most benign circumstances. When workers are required to work in more remote regions, the operational, environmental and regulatory risks are that much higher. Companies need to uphold even more rigorous safety regimes to ensure both their staff, and their infrastructure are adequately protected.
As the world's leading provider of private network equipment and solutions, Hytera leverages advanced technologies to help Oil and Gas companies improve productivity, whilst reducing cost through digitalization and informatization. With a full portfolio of innovative convergence communication solutions, Hytera provides tailored solutions that meet diverse operational requirements, ranging from the exploration, production and storage of oil, right through to the transportation, refining, and trading processes.

Transportation
Oil exploration sites are often located in large, open areas and, consequently, have
poor infrastructure and no network coverage. Voice and data communications rely on
satellites, two-way radios, or radio stations. To carry out their jobs safely and
efficiently, this industry requires a temporary, yet reliable and resilient communication
network . Hytera is able to deliver such a solution, one that is designed to support
voice and video communications, whilst ensuring operational efficiency and safety
at the exploration site.
In the oil field, companies often deploy their private wired networks for day-to-day
operations, because public networks are not usually available. However, the construction
of these private networks requires time and resources, including manpower and a large
number of expensive network equipment. Utilising the customer's existing wired networks,
Hytera's narrowband network transmits equipment data from the oil well and offshore
platforms, straight to to the control centre. Additionally, Hytera offers a complete
solution covering video surveillance, daily inspections, unified dispatch, work orders,
data management and remote equipment monitoring, helping improve safety and productivity.
There are many ways to transport oil and gas. Pipelines are preferred as they are
able to transport large volumes, efficiently. However, oil and gas pipelines are usually
located in remote areas with harsh environments and poor network infrastructure, leading
to high maintenance costs, and sometimes even theft or damage. Hytera offers a digital
pipeline solution that enables oil and gas companies to tackle their challenges; our
solution applies the advanced ICT technology to provide a digital communication platform
and intelligent security surveillance system, guaranteeing more efficient communications
and better monitoring along pipelines.
In the refineries or petrochemical plants, the production facilities consist of a
variety of reaction units, pipelines, storage tanks, and shielded rooms. This kind
of environment may block wireless communication signals. In addition, only communication
equipment complying with explosion-proof standards can be used in the production area.
These issues pose great challenges to the communication network construction of oil
refineries and chemical plants. Luckily Hytera offers integrated solutions, including
voice, data, positioning, network interconnectivity, and industrial park security.
Our solutions enhance monitoring capabilities and improve communication efficiency,
and as a result, improve the overall safety of such environments.
Reliable communication is of upmost importance in the transportation stage. Transporting
oil and gas comes with its risks, but by harnessing Hytera’s technology, you are able
to ensure the safety of your personnel and property. Our solutions allow you to provide
real-time voice communications, GPS positioning, remote monitoring, and cross-regional
push-to-talk for tank truck transportation, staying connected at all times.
