Pyotr Korvyakov, First Deputy CEO, Gazprom Space Systems JSC, told participants of the 24th International Scientific and Technological Congress, arranged during SPIGF 2019. The project of the satellite system for the Earth distant sounding SMOTR will facilitate further introduction of aerospace technologies in the oil and gas sector of the Russian Federation.
Today, Gazprom Space Systems JSC, affiliate of Gazprom, is implementing the satellite communication system Yamal, guaranteeing uninterruptable cellular transmission for rotation workers that undertake hours-long surveys in the taiga.
Based on the Yamal system, Gazprom Space Systems JSC offers satellite telecommunication services via 2 thousand of earth stations, 450 of which are owned by the Gazprom group. The Yamal system is served by a group of 5 satellites, the lattermost Yamal-610 placed into the orbit on May 30, 2019.
Satellite introduction in the oil and gas sector is conditioned by development of information management systems and the need to connect remote affiliates, departments, and facilities to them. Moreover, there is a need for on-the-spot cellular communication and internet support for remote construction sites and rotation camps. Introduction of cosmic telemechanics into production processes, wide use of mobile applications, immediate broadcastings and space bridges – all of that makes development of space technologies one of the top priorities for Gazprom.
Reference: The 24th International Scientific and Technological Congress during the 9th St. Petersburg International Gas Forum was arranged by the International Academy of Technology (MATN/IAT), the first ever industry-specific science academy, focusing on conversion and information technologies intended for Russia’s key sectors of economics.
Subject of the congress: Implementation of High-End Technologies. Academy as the Centre for Society-Science Collaboration.
In her opening speech at the convention, Ludmila Lindblud, Vice President of MATN/IAT said that their point is implementation of scientific research and their use for the good of the society. During 28 years of their existence, the International Academy of Technology has been much supported by Russia’s oil and gas enterprises.
