There is an enormous increase in the availability of green energy solutions but still our demand for Oil & Gas has only increased. This has required the industry to operate with higher efficiency, consume lesser resources and maintain better security & communication standards. EBIZ has been at forefront to provide Communication solutions in that challenging environment.
As we discussed above, the demand for Oil & Gas is only increasing. With fuel hungry equipment around us in our day-to-day life, the dependency may not decrease in years to come. This has put enormous pressure on industry to produce more fuel, while consuming less resources and maintaining secure ways to operate. With our long association with the Oil & Gas industry, we have seen the security and communication infrastructure grow to global standards.
We are proud to be a part of implementing communication solutions that are equal to global standards and making available the latest solutions & products available to the customers.
Our core expertise is in understanding customer requirement and designing a tailor made solution. Our approach is to start with detailed site survey, taking details of existing network / facilities / products and taking details of the current requirement of customer.
We also take details of the compliance requirements of the customer and the industry. This helps us design a solution that will work for the customer and they are comfortable using it.
Many of the products that we deal with are licensed products that can be sold and installed only after getting a license from the regulatory authorities (WPC/DOT.) Additionally, Oil & gas sector is mostly comprised of hazardous area that require a product to meet certain compliances like certification for Intrinsically Safety (PESO, IECEx, ATEX, UL etc.
Also, within a large geographical area such as a refinery, there are areas that are designated safe or hazardous and a solution is to be designed using all these details. The designed solution should meet safety and regulatory requirements of the industry and certifications for equipment and customer should be secured before starting a project.
Once a project is awarded, the first job is to take regulatory approvals. The delivery will commence only after the receipt of all certificates and licenses. A network can be very simple such as for a pipeline location or an oil depot and comprises of few Portables to be used with probably a Fixed Station that will require minimum of installation.
However, most of the projects in a Refinery are complex and may require infrastructure installation at multiple sites. Steps include IP connectivity of multiple sites, installation of infrastructure at each site, configuration of all these products and testing. Project handover is the last phase of the installation activities. Normally a project may involve multiple years of maintenance and hence a regular presence at the site is maintained.
