Overview
Oil and Gas companies are some of the major users of communications services based on satellite. With employees now wanting access to state-of-the-art communications on oil rigs and remote locations, as well as companies want to improve the efficiency of their operations, this has become a key issue. However, as oil companies strive for improvement in this area, their communications strategy is under the microscope. The issue of using satellite or fiber, or a combination of the two is now a focus of their communications strategy. This webinar will look at how major oil companies are tackling this issue.
Join Via Satellite in this webinar to find out what some oil companies think of satellite communications solutions and what they can bring to the table.
Get your questions answered and:
- Learn about Saudi Aramco’s plans on deploying satellite communications, and their needs for services based on satellite going forward.
- Shell has a major presence in the Americas and the Gulf of Mexico. Find out the key communications’ networks decisions they are facing.
- What impact is the onset of fiber having on satellite? Is the demand for satellite solutions still as strong as ever?
- What are the capital expenditure plans in terms of communications networks? Is the spending going up significantly?
- How will oil companies’ communications strategies evolve over the next few years?
Via Satellite will have some of the industry’s top executives and thinkers presenting to you directly and answering all of these key questions facing companies in this sector.
