Oil and gas production handbook An introduction to oil and gas production

1. External communication 
External communication 
systems interconnect 
installations and link them to the 
surrounding world – carrying 
voice, video, process control 
and safety system traffic 
necessary to allow uninterrupted 
safe facility operations. With 
today's solutions and 
technologies, distance is no 
longer an issue and bandwidth 
is available as needed, either on demand or fixed. This
 opens up new ideas 
and opportunities to reduce operational costs in the industry.  
 
 
2. Internal communication 
Internal telecommunication systems play a 
major role in supporting day-to-day operations 
and improving the working environment. They 
allow any type of system or operator to 
communicate within the facility, enabling 
reliable and efficient operations.
