Understand How This Factor Can Ensure The Necessary Competitiveness In A Market As Critical And Demanding As That Of Oil & Gas

The Oil & Gas sector represents an important pillar of growth and economic recovery in Brazil and worldwide. According to reports from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), global demand is expected to rise to 3.36 million barrels per day by the end of this year, resulting in a significant recovery from the sector’s decline in 2020.

Even with this positive impact on the sector, the scarcity of these natural resources has demanded extractions in increasingly remote and dangerous locations, making it even more challenging to maintain the safety of teams in operation. This more demanding movement in search of extraction and production requires more and more technology for its viability. It requires a lot of technology – from resources to increase productivity/efficiency to solutions to ensure the safety of professionals exposed to extreme temperatures and adverse conditions.

The Secret Lies In Integrated Solutions

Basically, for one of the most challenging jobs in the world to overcome security issues, all technologies in Oil & Gas must be evaluated and designed as an integrated solution, to improve collaboration between departments, regardless of the segment they are located in: upstream (exploration, discovery, and production), midstream (transportation), or downstream (distribution).

Communication and video technologies are among those that can significantly support this sector. A digital platform for oil that enables clear and long-range communication can reduce accidents and response times to potential problems. Video security solutions with advanced self-learning analytics and access control alerts allow risks to be detected, so professionals can feel safer in their area. For example, in the control center, where video management software is used, it is possible to monitor multiple remote locations with low bandwidth consumption and without losing the quality of scene details, thanks to explosion-proof cameras that operate safely in high-risk areas.

In facilities with Bluetooth and GPS connectivity, for example, it is possible to send alarms to the right people during emergencies and create alerts when a professional has been inactive for a certain period. It is also possible to set up geofencing in high-risk areas to send notifications to the plant when professionals are in the area, to keep an eye on them and recognize persons of interest.

Two-way radios are also recommended for this type of environment. Professionals can mutually share voice and data for collaboration and real-time assistance if a setback or incident occurs. These radios should have the capability to further reduce background noise, ensuring that the message reaches the recipient clearly and quickly. In addition to noise elimination, radios and accessories need to be specially designed to withstand fire, water, and strong drops or blows, for example.

With the adoption of communication technologies and connectivity resources, it is possible to record voice and audio events to provide evidence of what happens in all work areas during the workday and respond immediately – in cases of unscheduled events. The ability to record and manage incidents provides more security for professionals and the entire organization.

Safety and productivity are deeply intertwined. Indeed, companies that can count on unified communication systems, in addition to safety resources, voice, video, and data, will be able to minimize downtime, improve efficiency, and generate better results across all segments of the industry – ensuring the necessary competitiveness in such a critical and demanding market.
