Oilfield communication consists of all communication technologies used in oilfields, which have been growing significantly to satisfy user demand and to provide advanced and improved oil and gas operations. These communication technologies support the oil and gas companies, which require advanced automation, monitoring, and reporting technologies to manage huge amounts of operational and field data. The oil and gas companies seek to utilize these modern technologies by integrating them with their existing and future operations. Oilfield communications need a reliable and efficient wireless network, which is able to function over distant areas and under harsh weather conditions. Oilfield communication networks and technologies provide broadband speeds that support multiple applications, which improve the operational efficiency and safety of the oilfield operations along with cost-effective infrastructures.
Asphalt is a binder and filler obtained as a refined residue from the distillation process of some specific petroleum-refined crude oils. It is a petroleum-derived pitch used in road construction for binding and also for paving, roofing, and waterproof sealing. It is mixed with aggregate particles consisting of rock, sand, gravel, or slag to create asphalt concrete.
