Abstract:

Several oil and gas companies are using radio communication as the first mean of communication to optimize operations, boost profitability, and operate safely. Radio communications are considered the most crucial service for oil and gas plants since they are intrinsically safe and have many required features, such as group calls. This article illustrates the designs of radio antenna systems for the oil and gas industry as well as their best examples of use. In addition, it explains the challenges in the design and how to overcome them.

Keywords:
