ASIA mobilisation and demobilisation . The demands are always increasing ”.
A containerised solution was not a new industry concept , but the brief was that the standard design would include what had been learnt over time . The solution needed to be standardised , include VSAT connection redundancy , provide safe operation during assembly , maintain tight engineering control , achieve helicopter portability under a max weight of load constraint , rapid mobilization and demobilisation , as well as remote connectivity monitoring – all underpinned by field support . This was developed in collaboration with network and satellite communications service provider , Speedcast . A further challenge to solve in the field was the reliability of internet connection for data acquisition . At each rig site , oilfield service business Geoservices Australasia Pty Ltd , was required to maximise the drilling investment through appropriate decision-making . Historically , the bandwidth demands of corporate traffic and acquired data were impacting each other , and from a service model point of view represented an unnecessary dependency . Working closely with Geoservices , a design was established for standalone infrastructure to support mudlogging . Geoservices prepared a standard solution , developed mobilisation and demobilisation processes , and integrated the
