Expertise Designed to Tackle the Challenges of Oil Platforms

In offshore projects, Eolys-Technology implements cutting-edge solutions to address the specific challenges of extreme environments. One of our key case studies, developed for an oil platform in Saudi Arabia, perfectly demonstrates our ability to deliver innovative solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.

Case Study: Video Surveillance and Buoy Control at Sea

When a Monaco-based intermediary company approached us to resolve issues related to video surveillance and data management between a main oil platform and several buoys located up to 11 km away, the challenges were clear:

  • Ensure precise monitoring of approaching tankers.
  • Measure environmental conditions (wind speed, wave height, mooring tension) in real-time.
  • Prevent risks associated with defective moorings, such as oil spills.

Our Technological Solution

  • High-frequency sensors: Installation of sensors on buoys to measure wind speed, wave height, and mooring tension.
  • Automation through home automation: Data is automatically collected and transmitted to the main control system via advanced automation integration.
  • SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition): Implementation of a SCADA system to process, analyze, and make data actionable for the control center.

Direct Impact

A mooring that is too loose or too tight can lead to a ruptured refueling hose, causing catastrophic consequences such as an oil spill. Thanks to our expertise, we reduced these risks by automating monitoring and optimizing the control system's responsiveness.

Innovation in Connectivity

Faced with a lack of existing solutions, Eolys-Technology designed a specific mesh network to ensure reliable and redundant connectivity between the platform and the buoys.

How the Network Works

    • Data is transmitted through three primary routes, forming a mesh network.
    • By default, the system prioritizes the direct link between the platform and each buoy.
    • In the event of a failure, an intelligent system automatically reroutes traffic through available alternative paths.

    Key Advantage:
    This dynamic network ensures uninterrupted communication and secure data transmission, even in the event of a connection point failure.
