INDUSTRY

Oil & Gas

Certification decides the enclosure before the electronics are chosen. Upstream and midstream sites are classified hazardous areas with no mains supply, no network and nobody present — so intrinsic safety, power budget and backhaul are settled at architecture, not selected from a catalogue afterwards.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What engineers ask before they call.

01

Can Faststream design intrinsically safe equipment?

Hazardous area requirements are established at scoping, because classification constrains battery chemistry, enclosure design and radio power at the same time. The applicable certification route is agreed before component selection rather than discovered at approval.

02

How do remote oil and gas sites report without coverage?

Satellite non-terrestrial links carry the exception traffic where terrestrial coverage does not reach, with reporting policy designed around the fact that every satellite message costs substantially more energy and money than a cellular one.

03

What is the hardest part of instrumenting an unattended site?

Battery life against the maintenance interval. There is no mains supply, and a site visit costs more than the instrument — so reporting policy, not sensor accuracy, determines whether the deployment survives its contract term.
