Opportunities

  • Energy industry is realizing the value of fiber
  • ptic communications
  • Subsea telecom industry seeking new

markets markets

  • Success demonstrated in Gulf of Mexico
  • Other projects under consideration
  • Fiber communications to offshore assets

becoming the standard approach

Point to Point System

  • New production field
  • 250 km from land
  • Challenging landings
  • Shallow water route
  • Possible future developments
  • Possible future developments
  • Environmentally sensitive

Fiber Ring

  • Over twenty shallow water (<250m) platforms
  • Platforms 10-50 km apart
  • Several clusters 100-200 km apart
  • 500 km total length
  • At least five different platform owners
  • At least five different platform owners

Repeatered Backbone

  • Eight initial and ten future

deep water (up to 2500m) platforms

  • 1500 km route
  • Platforms 100-300 km apart
  • Platforms 100-300 km apart
  • Comms reliability and

platform independence essential

Repeatered Backbone Advantages

  • No distance limits
  • Platforms operate independently of all
  • thers
  • Multiple fiber pairs can support multiple
  • Multiple fiber pairs can support multiple
  • wners and different business models

Mutual Restoration

  • Two (or more) owners combine/interconnect systems
  • Concept is well understood by telecom industry
  • Considered in some feasibility studies
  • Could potentially develop in energy industry

Summary and Conclusions

  • Now is the time to move forward
  • Suppliers must work with a new class of
  • wners
  • Submarine cable technology provides a
  • Submarine cable technology provides a

starting point for serving offshore assets

  • Solutions must address the unique integration

requirements of the offshore assets
