TORONTO, Jan. 8, 2015 /CNW/ - Redline
Communications (www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading
provider of mission-critical wireless networks for the oil and gas
industry, announced today that it has received a $2.6M contract for the first phase of a wireless
network that is expected to bring cost-saving automation to
hundreds of oil wells in an oilfield in the Middle East.
Redline's newest customer, one of the largest oil producers in
the region, will be implementing an advanced production monitoring
and control system to make oil production more productive and
efficient. They will use Redline's wireless network solution to
provide the real-time connectivity that makes these bottom line
benefits possible.
Advanced process and control automation systems connect sensors
at every well, making ongoing status updates on production
available to people and systems at remote locations. It also brings
the ability to remotely and in real-time change an increasing
number of production parameters to optimize production rates almost
instantly. This eliminates the need to send people into the field
to physically check well sites for problems, in turn minimizing
downtime and increasing operational safety. With the ability to
change parameters at the well sites remotely over Redline's
wireless network, operators can continually optimize production
quickly and without adding additional costs.
"We're pleased to see Redline providing the network
infrastructure for yet another digital oilfield," says Rob Williams, Redline CEO. "Our customers
continue to benefit from the resulting productivity, efficiency and
safety gains that translate directly into financial savings.
Delivering measurable bottom line benefits is even more critical in
these times of lower oil prices."
Redline makes oilfield automation possible by providing the
network infrastructure needed to realize improved efficiency and
productivity. Once fully deployed, a Redline network delivers a
ubiquitous umbrella of connectivity, converting the field operation
into a truly digital oilfield and bringing the operator real-time
visibility and remote control of their production assets. Equally
important, the Redline network has the capacity to grow with
minimal additional costs as the oilfield grows. This translates
into a cost-effective system for the long term.
Redline couples powerful and reliable wireless technology with a
deep knowledge of the oil and gas industry to deliver a single
secure and reliable network infrastructure that is powerful enough
to simultaneously accommodate the distances, capacity and the many
application types required for the oilfield. This includes voice,
video, SCADA, M2M, Wi-Fi and other data.
With a proven track record that includes dozens of successful
large scale digital oilfield installations, Redline, an ISNetworld™
member company, has deep expertise in turnkey wireless network
delivery for oil and gas, with purpose-built products and
oilfield-ready, HSE-certified professionals. Redline's end-to-end
solutions for oil and gas include planning, engineering and
delivery services along with ruggedized products to deliver a
complete network solution that can operate effectively throughout
the entire life cycle of an oilfield.
Delivery of the Redline network is expected to begin in the
first quarter of 2015 and be completed before the end of the
year.
