Oil & gas

When solar power is used for oil and gas operations

Isolated sites by nature

Gas and oil extraction and routing facilities are by their nature located in isolated areas, far from the electrical grid.

Oil and gasA key criterion: reliability

The power supply to these sites must be extremely reliable for obvious safety reasons (at risk areas). Depending on the project, all the components in the solution can be certified ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2. Photovoltaic solar power is used in this type of application to power pipeline protection systems as well as luminous signs or nocturnal lighting on onshore or offshore oil platforms.
