Independent protocol simplifies subsea information flow

摘要

Information without connectivity stymies knowledge management. Effective communication is key to subsea field optimization. Minimizing downtime and maximizing uptime hinges upon a steady stream of timely, complete, and reliable information. The dynamic nature of subsea operations demands accurate and dependable data to assure safety, optimize production, and maintain technical and mechanical workings. Subsea well complexities require integration of all parts to work as a whole, which often limits equipment selection or prohibits upgrading existing infrastructure. Typically, establishing the subsea infrastructure narrows options for monitoring and managing data because of protocol configurations. Simply put, all parts -technical and mechanical - need common formatting rules to relay and exchange messages.
