Our Services for Oil & Gas Operations
Ensuring Efficient Oil & Gas Extraction With Satellite-Enabled Solutions
Global Monitoring
and Control
To both drive operation efficiencies and detect any areas of concern, Oil & Gas operations require almost constant data. Devices like RockREMOTE Rugged enable companies to report on exceptions which can have a significant impact on running costs and extend battery life.
Lone Worker Enablement and Safety
Field workers rely on connectivity with their base of operations for both task completion and personal safety. Personal tracking devices like RockSTAR enable two-way messaging, geofencing alerts, and emergency SOS capabilities, ensuring that teams remain safe and accounted for.
Resilient Failover Communications
A Ground Control customer managing a vital gas pipeline relies on a triple-redundant communication system – two satellite links and one cellular connection. In 16 years, neither satellite connection has ever failed, proving the unmatched reliability of non-terrestrial networks.
Real Time
Asset Tracking
With a satellite-enabled tracker, Oil & Gas companies can monitor fleets, track payload capacity, optimize delivery routes, and detect early signs of maintenance issues. RockFLEET ensures seamless operations, improved efficiency, and enhanced safety moving to and from remote Oil & Gas sites.

Secure Data Transmission
Data Monitoring
The RockREMOTE enables SCADA data transmissions directly from isolated wellheads, while the RockREMOTE Mini delivers backup connectivity for mobile field units. Together, they keep critical systems online and enable predictive maintenance, leak detection, and automated reporting.
Technician Safety
For Oil & Gas vehicle operators, RockDASH is a portable solution, transmitting accurate location and vehicle telemetry in real-time, while enabling two-way text communication and alert functions. Both Rock devices utilize the global Iridium network and include geofencing capabilities to enhance the safety of the remote teams.
Security & Surveillance
RockREMOTE Rugged, integrated with Videosoft, enables cost-effective video transfer by connecting smart cameras via USB or IP, allowing for remote worksite monitoring and enhanced site security. To transmit still images from a smart camera, RockREMOTE Mini is a sound choice.
Monitoring Sensors
The RockBLOCK Pro features a ruggedized enclosure with IP68-rated protection and wide operating temperatures from -40°C to +80°C, making it ideal to withstand harsh Oil & Gas extraction conditions. The RockBLOCK 9704, designed for integration into custom hardware, delivers reliable Iridium connectivity in a compact form factor - ideal for OEM solutions where space and power efficiency are critical.
Secure Data Transmission
With end-to-end encryption, advanced authentication protocols, and continuous data monitoring, TSAT strengthens network resilience for offshore platforms, remote well sites, and pipeline infrastructure. Designed for the industry's most demanding environments, it delivers reliable, secure connectivity, preventing unauthorized access and maintaining operational integrity across the entire energy value chain.
