Overview

Our lives depend on energy. While many countries are working towards a more sustainable future with development focused on renewable energy sources, oil and gas remain the most popular energy sources of life today.

Challenge

Extraction of energy from oil and gas sources is a complex process that requires a lot of infrastructures. One part of such infrastructure is the pipelines, which are the critical transport mechanism for Oil & Gas industries.

However, pipeline infrastructure is usually placed in remote areas where are many unfavorable factors for construction.

-Harsh Environment

The on-site environment is often accompanied by extreme temperatures and humidity, rain, lightning, and sandstorm.

-Cannot use wired network

Oil pipelines are often located in remote areas, The use of the wired network is costly, and wiring is complicated.

-Power Supply

The grid cannot access the grid to remote areas, making the power supply of related equipment a significant problem.

-Personnel Unreachable

When a gas leak occurs in an oil and gas pipeline, people cannot go to the site to investigate the problem in time, which causes enormous economic losses and potential safety hazards.

Solution

USR-G786-G by USR IOT designed with rugged form can adapt well to temperature and humidity changes, sand and dust weather, and other harsh environments.

Users who install equipment in different areas of the pipeline can collect flow meter information and send gathered data to remote TCP servers by comparing the flow pressure in other areas to determine the leak's location. This process takes advantage of a 4G LTE network with high-speed and low latency to ensure reliable data transmission. The data format can use transparent transmission mode or protocol conversion which convert from RTU to TCP.

We have our own USR Cloud to provide customers with higher convenience for data collection and be able to send alarm information through E-mail and SMS to the person to avoid security risks when the data is abnormal, etc.,

Finally, the low energy consumption design, the minimum power consumption is around 50mA, allowing USR-G786-G to be powered up by combining solar power and batteries.

Topology
