News: S3 ID selected for massive Kazakh oil field
The S3 ID Group in Rotherham has signed an agreement with AGIP to deploy an integrated personnel security system at its facility in Kazakhstan.
Based at Eastwood, S3 ID has developed a range of specialist hardware and software products that provide real-time personnel location awareness, mustering and access control. They are used in working environments where a major incident would be catastrophic such as oil, gas and petrochemical plants.
Working with partners, Ubisense and their unique Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) solutions, the primary function of the technology is to enhance safety, but it can also be used for access control and security purposes, managing personnel logistics and automatically recording time and attendance on-site.
In all cases of a major incident in a hazardous environment, it is crucial for the emergency response service to know exactly who was present on the facility at the time of the incident and exactly who is accounted for after the incident, usually at muster points, so that any persons unaccounted for may be searched for and rescued. The system being selected by AGIP will enable this information to be available instantaneously at multiple locations on and off site, ensuring enhanced personnel safety and security.
Users will wear a small battery powered tag that, when read by sensors, can provide precise three-dimensional location information to an accuracy of better than half a metre at ranges of up to 200m. The tag reading is contactless and done automatically.
Doug Woodbridge, sales and marketing vice president at S3 ID, said:: "Selection by AGIP is recognition of the unique position of S3 ID in the provision of location-aware safety and mustering systems to the oil and gas industry."
AGIP is responsible for the execution of the first phase of development of the giant Kashagan field which holds some 35 billion barrels of oil in place and reserves of over 11 billion barrels beneath the Kazakhstan section of the north Caspian Sea.
