Applications for remote power include, but are not limited to:
- Cathodic Protection - To prevent corrosion and possible leakage on both pipelines and wells.
- SCADA and Instrumentation - As more sensing and control equipment is added to the pipeline and wellheads, power needs are increasing. SCADA communication and control equipment is being utilized to remotely monitor and control all levels of oil and gas production, SSVs, MLBVs, etc. This data needs to be transmitted to avoid the need to dispatch personnel to manually gather the data.
- Chemical Injection Pumps - Electric pumps are used for injecting chemicals into natural gas remote wellheads to prevent scale, corrosion, and buildup of hydrates.
