Tampnet fiber optic contract brings remote ops to Mexican deepwater oil project

(offshore-energy.biz) Tampnet, a Norway-headquartered provider of offshore high-capacity and low-latency connectivity services, has secured a fiber optic project and long-term service contract with Woodside Energy that will enable remote operations at an oil project in the Gulf of Mexico/America.

The fiber-based connectivity to shore for the Trion project will enable remote operations, safety and training capabilities, which will be managed from Woodside’s onshore facility based locally in Mexico.   

The contract represents Tampnet’s entry into Mexican waters.

“Offshore energy companies can now fully embrace digitalisation and automation technologies, benefitting from real-time data analytics and AI-driven insights, irrespective of the offshore field’s location,” said Tampnet CEO Elie Hanna.

“In terms of data speeds, reliability and scalability, no other technologies can compete with fibre optics, which is why offshore field developments focused on safety, minimal carbon emissions and efficiency continue to prefer and invest in fibre to shore. This project also ties in perfectly with our ambitions for geographic expansion and long-term presence in Mexico.”
