RFID uses attached to or embedded electronic modules which respo nd to a radio transceiver with an identifier number. The electronic module s are packaged in different ways (most commonly as tags), to mount or embe d into various assets and to survive a variety of environmental conditions . The identifier number of each tag can be associated with any type of col lected and electronically stored data, like location, use history, mainten ance, inspection records, etc.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Traditional asset tra cking methods (bar code, stenciling, and RFID tags originally developed fo r retail or transportation industries) work for tracking assets not subjec t to harsh conditions, but fail when deployed to track assets in drilling and subsea operations where tracking does not survive the extreme temperat ures, pressures, vibrations, and abrasives.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n A new ge neration of rugged RFID technology, specifically developed in recent years to meet the unique needs of the oil and gas industry, is designed to surv ive extreme conditions. Driven by high-temperature/high-pressure (HT/HP) d emands in deepwater operations, certain tags have rated sustained temperat ure and pressure survivability to 400°\; F (204°\; C) and 30,000 psi (2070 Bar).\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n The largest potential return on investm ent (ROI) for RFID technology in oil and gas is in component-level identif ication of surface, subsea, and downhole assets used in drilling and produ ction operations. Industry estimates that positive ROI for this technology ranges from three months to two years from deployment.\r\n\r\n\n\n--- Thi s iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to chang e. ---\r\n\r\n--- By Tendenci - The Open Source AMS for Associations ---\r \n UID:uid1556@spegcs.org SUMMARY:Digital Energy: RFID Technology DTSTART:20100915T163000Z DTEND:20100915T170000Z CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20240329T102447Z TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION:Courtyard on St. James Place X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
