Wi-mesh technology assists oilfield digitalization

Recently, Daqing oilfield has deployed the largest industrial wireless broadband network in China using adlia technology's Wi-mesh technology wireless mesh network, providing support for its fixed and mobile video security and data collection.

According to reports, Daqing oilfield has been fully deployed in the industrial wireless broadband network system, covering 180 square kilometers, radiating the entire oil zone and plant area, it can provide support for up to 25 mobile video monitoring and data collection teams, a control center, and some fixed locations, providing comprehensive security for field operators, strengthen close contact between the control center and field operators.

Most of the oil exploitation areas are scattered in complicated terrain and landform areas such as the hills and swamp. Communication between drilling platforms is inconvenient because of the distant regions. For a long time, how to perform real-time data collection and monitoring during the implementation process is a challenge for the safe and efficient operation of the oil industry. The development of wireless broadband network technology has gradually solved this problem.

The mesh network technology, also known as The mesh network, is a type of wireless router device that can be connected through wireless connection, data is transmitted over wireless, this is a wireless broadband access technology that is free from the limitations of wired networks. It has been widely used in a variety of industries, enterprises, and telecommunications networks. It is reported that this Wi-mesh technology provided by adelia Technology Co., Ltd. has features such as self-networking, automatic healing, and automatic searching for the optimal path. It is easy to configure and manage. The data transmission rate of the product is up to 12 Mbps, and the video transmission rate within the 10 km connection range is 30 frames per second. Its core components, such as MSR2000 and MSR4000 network dual-RF and quad-RF mesh routers, can provide low-price and high-transmission wireless broadband for high-quality long-distance services, at the same time, it can meet the harsh requirements of industrial use in harsh environments. The distributed interaction-IP subnet roaming service ensures that the voice and video transmission of mobile application products in oil fields are not interrupted, meeting the coverage requirements of ultra-large oil fields.

In the past, production status data such as oil well temperature, pressure, and oil output had to be manually monitored and recorded every day, which was easily affected by the weather. In areas with severe climatic conditions, fiber optic laying is not easy due to high construction costs and long cycles. In a complex external environment, the advantages of the wireless mesh network technology over the wired network are more direct. At the same time, the open geographic environment in the oil zone makes the application of the system also have advantages in transmission, which is conducive to radio wave propagation. According to reports, since the exploitation of the well area covered by Daqing oilfield, the operation cost of the oil production plant has been reduced, creating significant economic benefits, and promoting the construction and application of wireless information technology in the oilfield.

In the interview, experts also spoke highly of the Application of adlia's wireless Mesh Network Technology in Daqing oilfield. Zhuang zixin, deputy director of the Beijing network multimedia lab, believes that "the Daqing Oilfield case is not just a monitoring issue. If this network is built one day, it is actually a wireless Daqing. This is an example of informatization to promote industrialization ." He said, "If the entire Daqing City uses a wireless Mesh Network to establish a wireless broadband MAN, it would mean an information infrastructure and broadband information infrastructure for the entire Daqing City ." The combination of optical fiber and Wi-mesh means that the entire Daqing architecture has a network infrastructure with full coverage and full coverage. Daqing's e-government, e-commerce, public security systems, public service systems, public transportation and other facilities can all rely on this network environment.
