Applications of offshore electronics and control instrumentation systems
Electronics and control instrumentation systems are used to perform various functions in the oil and gas industry. Some of the most common applications are:
- Real-time condition and asset monitoring
- Oil field water analysis
- Gas and flame leak detection
- Predictive maintenance, and
- Fault detection
Choosing the right offshore instrumentation systems
The tough operating conditions of offshore oil and gas developments call for selecting reliable and sturdy instrumentation systems. Operating and environmental conditions including exposure to chemicals, extreme heat and cold can damage the sensors of equipment such as oil & gas remote monitoring systems and oil field gas detectors.
Performance characteristics such as accuracy, sensitivity, screen type and resolution, apart from maintenance requirements that include regular calibration are some of the factors that need to be considered when selecting instrumentation systems.
Uses of oil and gas remote monitoring systems
Offshore oil and gas development fields and facilities often lie in remote and deepwater locations. Unmanned facilities are used in some cases, which require regular inspection and monitoring to ensure optimal performance.
Oil & gas remote monitoring systems can help in remotely monitoring the status and health of the facilities from onshore locations and verify the environmental and equipment conditions. They also help in scheduling and implementing maintenance activities.
