Remote Operations is a Major Industry Focus

• Today 85 of the world oil and gas comes from
  assets that are NOT monitored.
• Remote Operations has the potential to increase
  production by 7-10, according to several
  independent studies.
• About 92 of wells and other critical assets are
  further than two miles from nearest office.
• Wireless Remote Operations is the only solution.
  All wired solutions have proven impractical and
  too expensive.

Typical Well in Middle East. No Monitoring! Well
on or off status is done through touching the
pipe!
In Nigeria wells producing 6000 bpd or more shut
down for several days without operators knowledge

The Impact of the Digital Oilfield

• Studies conducted by several major oil and gas
  companies and NOCs estimate
• 7-10 production increase can be achieved through
  implementation of Smart/Digital Field technology.
• 4-6 increase in reservoir exploitation.
• Estimates are that 40 of the increases will come
  from implementation of Remote Operations
  Technology.
• Early data from smart field applications are
  supporting these studies.
