On September 15 and 16 near Buzuluk, the TNK-BP Company and the Orenburg regional branch of EMERCOM held a special tactical training on the topic: “Oil Spillage Liquidation at River Crossings. Fire Extinguishing Drill. Conducting emergency response, restoration and rescue operations”.
During the training an entire set of exercises for localizing and liquidating an oil spillage and a fire which occurred as a result of a loss of containment in an interfield oil pipeline were executed. The practical interaction of Orenburgneft with the Orenburg regional commissions for emergency response and fire safety and the municipal authorities of the locations of Orenburgneft's production sites was worked out in the field.
The TelecomServiceStroy Company, which is a system integrator for RadWin and AxxonSoft, quickly laid a high-speed multiservice network (50 Mbit/s, full duplex) based on a RadWin5000 base station and five RadWin520 user stations in an open field. It was connected to Orenburgneft's corporate network using RadWin2000 equipment. An IP video surveillance network was organized at distributed sites using Axis video cameras and the Axxon software package; video conferencing was set up based on Policom equipment, and a corporate telephone network was set up using AudioCodes media gateways. All video data were transmitted in real time to a TNK-BP crisis center organized in the central office in Moscow.
When implementing the project, TelecomServiceStroy used a set of tried and true technical solutions based on IP technology; this made it possible to deploy the entire system in a minimal amount of time with high guaranteed service quality. The system took no more than three hours to deploy. This well-tested solution can be used as the basis for executing similar tasks in the future. This is the first time that real-time aerial video monitoring using an unmanned aircraft developed by TelecomServiceStroy has been organized as part of such TNK-BP trainings. A large number of high-ranking guests, foreign representatives of TNK-BP and representatives of local and federal authorities were present at the training.
