Abstract
A radio broadcast system and method can assist employees in a hydrocarbon field that is compliance monitored using a checkpoint monitor installed therein. A radio transmitter located on the checkpoint monitor is configured to transmit a broadcast signal including a radio program, in a selected radio broadcast band, to be received by a radio device on a vehicle occupied by the employees of the compliance monitored hydrocarbon field. The radio program includes company rules and regulations, safety related information and employee activity status and assignment status information for the hydrocarbon field.
Claims30
A radio broadcast system for assisting users of compliance monitored hydrocarbon wellsites, the system comprising:
- a first server including a first data storage and a first processor;
- and
- a second server including a second data storage, a second processor in communication with the first processor and a radio transmitter controlled by the second processor, the second server being located in a hydrocarbon wellsite which is compliance monitored and remotely located from the first server;
- wherein the first processor is configured to process a radio program data to form a radio program in digital form and transmit a broadcast information including the radio program to the second processor;
- wherein the second processor is configured to receive the broadcast information including the radio program in digital form sent from the first server;
- and
- wherein the radio transmitter is configured to transmit a broadcast signal including the radio program to be received by at least one radio device located on a road vehicle occupied by at least one user, wherein the at least one radio device receiving the radio program substantially within the hydrocarbon wellsite.
A method of using radio broadcast for assisting users of a compliance monitored hydrocarbon wellsite, the method comprising:
- providing a first server including a first data storage and a first processor;
- providing a second server including a second data storage, a second processor in communication with the first processor and a radio transmitter, the second server being located in the compliance monitored hydrocarbon wellsite which is remotely located from the first server;
- receiving a radio program data at the first server;
- converting the radio program data to a radio program in digital form and storing in the first data storage;
- transmitting a broadcast information including the radio program to the second server and storing it in the second data storage therein;
- converting the broadcast information to a broadcast signal including the radio program;
- using the radio transmitter, transmitting the broadcast signal including the radio program in a selected broadcast band;
- receiving the broadcast signal by a radio located on a road vehicle occupied by at least one user;
- and
- audibly communicating the radio program to the at least one user, the radio receiving the broadcast signal substantially within the compliance monitored hydrocarbon wellsite.
