Packet Modem Spec Rev6.doc 11 06/09/00
3.1.2 Oil and Gas, Pipelines
• Monitor pipeline Cathodic Protection rectifiers to ensure operability.
• Remotely test the pipeline electrical discharges and be alerted to electrical
current buildup without having an inspector driving from one 40-mile
checkpoint to another, manually checking each location.
• Reduce costs, maximize use of personnel for repairs and maintenance, and
receive real-time notification of a problem before a line ruptures.
• Monitor production well heads. Track mud flow in real-time to
maximize profitability in the market.
• Utilize the GSP 1620 Satellite Packet Data Modem with a monitoring
device on a remote "nodding donkey" rig so you monitor energy and
velocity amounts. Temporarily suspend, slow or stop the flow
of oil when it drops below a profitable level, or shut down the
rig if there are mechanical problems.
• Monitor pressure reduction equipment. Remotely control the converter
volume and transmit data to a central system. Keep service interventions
to a minimum.
3.1.3 Utility: Water, Treatment Plants
• Monitor water flow along pipelines and achieve better regulation of water
pressure, thereby reducing unnecessary consumption and eliminating
water losses.
• Reduce maintenance costs by detecting lift station failures.
• Monitor waterways and canals.
• Transmit the status of snowpack gauges, flow rates, and spillway
conditions back to the control center to help regulate water flow in dam
operations.
