Oilfield Communications Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increased Investment in Improving Network Infrastructure to Favor the Market

For decades, the oil and gas industry has used its own telecommunications networks. These privately owned and managed networks oversee daily operations and coordinate emergency services during crises. Modern mission-critical networks face two challenges. First, there is a need for modernization. Real-time data, sophisticated control and monitoring, and high-level security require infrastructure that exceeds the capabilities of narrowband networks. Second, there is a requirement to ensure quality communication. Oil and gas field communications require high-capacity wireless networks that can function in harsh environments.

5G plays a crucial role in the digitalization of oilfield communications.

The oil and gas Industry can benefit from private Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G networks due to the fast acceptance of 4G wireless technology and evolving 5G standards for industrial use cases. The oil and gas industry's ambitions for 5G adoption remain uncertain. 5G technology is expected to provide a significant competitive edge for oil and gas companies in the future. Oil E&P companies are prioritizing efficiency and agility, leading to ambitious digital efforts. 5G offers benefits in the oil and gas industry, including Ultra-Reliable latency communication (URLLC) and Machine Type Communication (MMTC).
