M2M Technology Forum
2013-06-17 - 2013-06-20 in Abu Dhabi, UAE
Integrating machine-to-machine, SCADA and DCS

M2M or machine-to-machine technology supports wired and wireless communication between devices. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are centralized systems that utilize telemetry to monitor and control remote facilities. SCADA, telemetry and M2M solutions can be found throughout the oil & gas value chain including applications such as drill and well monitoring, fiscal metering and pipeline monitoring. Wireless technologies such as private radio, cellular and satellite communication can provide ubiquitous online connectivity at reasonable cost and deliver very high performance, as well as excellent availability. All of these components combined enable the delivery of operations management, equipment management and regulatory compliance applications linking remote equipment and enterprise IT systems. MCCs or machine command centers also known as DCS or distributed control systems are being used extensively to monitor and remotely control offshore projects. Apart from ease of convenience, reliability of data and smart field processing, these industrial control systems also offer a certain level of HSE benefits especially in the red zone geographically inaccessible areas for oil and gas companies.

M2M for the Oil and Gas Industry
2013-07-08 - 2013-07-09 in London, United Kindom
M2M technologies, Wireless Networking, SCADA Telemetry, and disruptive technologies are emerging as key differentiators in expediting oil & gas exploration and accelerating operational efficiencies. Wireless technologies and devices have played a key role for many operators in Europe and North American in their quest for energy independence. Early adopters of telemetry, M2M, devices, sensors and connectivity technologies are able to monitor and manage remote locations more effectively, as well as benefit from faster more flexible control of assets from Wellhead to Pipelines; fiscal metering, drill monitoring, to fleet management and lone worker force safety and response. M2M in Oil and Gas Industry will address the role of Wireless Networks and Machine to Machine technologies, their current utilization, the future of devices and machine to machine connectivity and automation, and the role technical strategies play as operational business drivers for Oil and Gas applications.
