LinkQuest Reports Continued Success Offshore

LinkQuest Inc. reports it has continued making a success of its SoundLink underwater acoustic modems for offshore oilfield applications despite the recent downturn in the oil prices and general difficult market condition in the global offshore oil business.

In recent months, the company has shipped close to 100 underwater acoustic modems for worldwide offshore oilfield deployments.

A large number of high-frequency UWM2000 and 2000H modems were recently shipped for downhole pressure testing and monitoring and FPSO mooring line monitoring in offshore oil field projects, LinkQuest said, adding that low-frequency UWM3000 modems and medium-frequency UWM4000 and UWM4010 modems were shipped for seabed seismic monitoring of offshore oil and gas field reservoirs in large-scale deployments, real-time deepwater multi-sensor data monitoring and deepwater real-time AUV data communication.

LinkQuest's underwater acoustic modems are based on proprietary Broadband Acoustic Spread Spectrum Technology and have been extensively used in the offshore oil fields worldwide over the years. LinkQuest produces a number of acoustic modem models designed for various application scenarios and environment conditions.

The company said it leverages its experience in offshore oilfield applications and competence in theoretical analysis, working with customers to select specific acoustic modem models most suitable for the customers' applications, aiming to optimize system performance, increase overall system reliability and enhance cost effectiveness.
