Maximizing efficiencies in the energy sector is one of today’s key challenges. Thankfully, dependable voice and data connectivity from Viasat can make a real difference throughout a project’s lifecycle. Our services and solutions allow for reliable communications between field workers, operational visibility and remote control of infrastructure, and enhanced personnel safety and welfare on sites across the world. 

Exploration

Exploring remote and hostile locations is a huge challenge for the energy sector. As viable sites become harder to find, your teams on the ground need to be able to deliver instant survey results and maintain fast, secure connections with HQ. That’s where our portfolio of satellite connectivity services comes in.

Whether using our compact, rugged BGAN terminals to connect remote workers and mobile offices, or our Land Xpress service to transfer high volumes of data, we can help connect your exploration operations like never before.

Remote monitoring and control 

Managing and monitoring the status of all your fixed and mobile assets is critical to maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime.

Within our global M2M connectivity services, we provide you with complete 24/7 operational visibility and control over your extraction and distribution infrastructure. Whether using our IsatData Pro service to monitor road tanker fleets or using BGAN M2M service to implement real-time monitoring of oil pipeline flow rates, Viasat solutions help ensure you stay productive, secure, and connected.

Site communications

A connected, smart drilling site means a more profitable operation. Without reliable connectivity, you can’t effectively manage your assets and suppliers, make vital decisions, or respond to unforeseen events quickly. With Viasat, you can do all that and more.

Get access to robust, cost-effective, and reliable connectivity simply, no matter how challenging the environmental conditions. Our BGAN Link and fixed Land Xpress services enable you to set up a virtual office anywhere within minutes, ensuring you're productive from day one

Safety and welfare

We know that technology can play a key role in keeping people safe, but technology is only as strong as the connectivity that underpins it.

Using our satellite-enabled connectivity services and solutions, you can access the tools you need to promote workplace safety and give remote workforce a vital communications lifeline. With our IsatPhone 2 handsets and our BGAN service, you can be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to safety.
