IT and comms for Oil and Gas

Written by David Ellison on August 17th, 2010

This is the kind of IT work ISN does best

Check out the comms dome we put on the bridge of the Armada Perkasa FPSO for Afren in the YouTube movie below. A floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit is a floating vessel used by the offshore industry for the processing and storage of oil and gas.

ISN were engaged by Afren to project manage and execute the voice and data communications parts of the project and delivered on time despite challenging deadlines.

This FPSO was fitted out for Afren’s Okoro Setu production project which achieved first oil in 2008 and still continues producing today, an average of 18,872 barrels per day in 2009.

Seismic data storage solutions at EAGE 2009 Event

Written by Rob Lyttle on June 15th, 2009

EAGE LogoThe annual conference for the EAGE – European Association of Geologists & Engineers – took place in Amsterdam last week – 8th to 11th June. A great opportunity for professionals in geophysics, petroleum exploration, geology, reservoir engineering, mining and civil engineering to get together for one of the key events of the oil and gas IT calendar.

As an IT infrastructure specialist for the Oil & Gas industry, London-based IT consultancy ISN Solutions partnered storage vendor Isilon Systems on their stand at the show. ISN have much experience of consultancy, design, project management, installation and support of IT and comms infrastructure for the oil & gas exploration and production sector.

With seismic data storage very much on the agenda and new applications for its manipulation and interpretation being showcased, ISN and Isilon where kept busy with interest on how best to manage the obvious storage implications, not just now, but allowing for likely growth patterns into the future.

Isilon LogoIsilon’s scale-out NAS products offer unparalleled speed of access, uptime and cost effectiveness for storage of seismic data. Having evaluated the options available in the marketplace, we have been impressed by how easy  Isilon clustered NAS arrays are to manage and maintain. We have seen nothing that scales so well, while still maintaining extremely fast response times. Isilon’s product range includes solutions for storage needs from 5 Terabytes to over 5 Petabytes. Ideal for many geoscience applications.
