IN a time where energy exploration is moving into newly discovered, isolated regions and the technical workforce is continuing to tighten, the need to keep remote sites connected with headquarters becomes even more essential.
CapRock Communciation’s satellite solutions provide tools that enable the oil and gas industry to operate more efficiently in today’s environment.
With more than 28 years of experience, CapRock Communications is a premier global satellite communications provider for the energy, maritime, government, engineering and construction and mining industries as well as for disaster recovery services. The company utilises the latest field-proven satellite technologies to deliver highly reliable managed communication services including broadband Internet, voice over IP, secure networking and real-time video to the world’s harshest and most remote locations. It provides reliable communications to oil and gas, mining, and engineering and construction customers with operations located in some of the world’s harshest and most remote environments.
REAL-TIME APPLICATIONS
VSAT communications allow subject-matter experts working from headquarters and regional offices to be virtually connected to the operations of remote locations. Applications such as real-time streaming well data and video inspection of underwater pipelines can be viewed for multiple drill sites without having to travel to each location. These experts can then collaborate with on-site engineers to analyse the data, resulting in faster and better decisions.

CapRock serves the communications needs of rig owners, service companies and operators working on drilling rigs and production platforms.
