1 Satellite communications at the cutting edge: Leveraging the HTS/Ka advantage in E&P GVF Oil and Gas Communications, Bill Hudson

2 Topics for today About Telenor Satellite Broadcasting Communications at the cutting edge HTS / KA band The rationale THOR 7 How it works Leveraging the advantage for E&P Summary 2

3 Among the major mobile operators in the world TSBc 148 million part mobile of subscriptions Telenor Group employees Present in markets with 1.6 billion people Telenor Satellite Broadcasting (TSBc) is part of Telenor Group Headquartered in Oslo, Norway A major satellite operator in Europe Provides broadcast and data services for customers in the media, maritime and Oil and Gas sectors 3

4 Delivering strong growth and profit in datacomms From the distribution of digital TV and radio content to millions of homes across Europe to the provision of reliable communications in remote locations on land and at sea, we are committed to keeping our customers connected via satellite Operating from the prime orbital location of 1 West Delivering services to Service Providers in the Energy and Maritime sectors Broadcasting audience growth with near 17 million homes Offering High powered capacity Ku alongside Ka development 4

5 Our satellite fleet 1 West Satellite Launch date Transponders Coverage area THOR 5 February Bandwidth: 27-33MHz Nordic region Pan Europe Middle East THOR 6 October Bandwidth:27-33MHz Nordic region C&E Europe THOR June Bandwidth:72-112MHz Europe Middle East 4 West Satellite Launch date Transponders Coverage area Thor III Inclined orbit since 2010 (6-10 years inclined service) 13 Bandwidth: 33MHz Middle East 5

6 Prime coverage Combined Ku and Ka band coverage at 1 West Telenor Satellite Broadcasting offers prime European Ku band coverage and will offer Ka band coverage optimised for the North Sea, Norwegian, Barents and Mediterranean Seas THOR 7 Ka band Ku band 6

7 Satellite coverage and expansion at 1 West THOR satellite fleet THOR 7 launch in 2014 THOR 10-02S1 THOR 5 T1 THOR 6 K1 Ka band THOR S2 THOR 5 T2 THOR 6 K2 Ku band 7

8 Communications at the cutting edge 8

9 Communications through the ages Timeline Vision T 9

10 Vision T The Cutting Edge... 10

11 High throughput satellites (HTS) / Ka band The rationale 11

12 Drivers behind expansion to HTS Industry trends Social trends The demand for bandwidth Frequencies- availability 12

13 Industry trends - Key drivers and challenges QHSE Increasing global energy consumption Depletion of reserves Global Geopolitical forces Emergences of Intelligent oilfield Ageing workforce-crew welfare 13

14 Vision T Which results in a need to.. Reduce costs Improve performance Reduce risk Field Assets Exploration Development Production Office External Stakeholders Optimise production Maximise reservoir capacity Uncover new reserves Attract young people 14

15 and transfer more and more information Vision T Advance corporate networking Real-time data transfer Collaborative decision making Voice services Video conferencing and surveillance Remote monitoring and diagnostics Well monitoring and data collection Welfare communications Seismic data acquisition 15

16 Social trends: Applications as drivers for growth Recreational users: Smartphones Ipads Computers Wireless game consoles Professional users: Servers and computers M2M VoIP Video conferencing 16

17 Market Trends Offshore Bandwidth demands Early to mid 1990 s Use of VSAT Typically 64k Links 2000 s Growth in demand Typically k links Significant growth 1Mb+ very common Continued growth in demand 1980 s Typically Radio & Inmarsat A Services 17

18 Market trends- the future Bandwidth demand across C, Ku, HTS, will rise from 4Gbps in 2012 to over 25 Gbps by 2022, O&G will account for 88% of bandwidth demand through 2022, mining 10% and utilities 2% * Bottom line: Energy markets are in the midst of a bandwidth revolution-requiring over 25Gbps of bandwidth by With over 461,000 in-service units and $2.6B in revenues by 2022, they remain a critical consumer of satellite communications for the foreseeable future * *Courtesy NSR Energy Markets via satellite, 3 rd Edition 18

19 Frequency availability trends Currently the most commonly used frequency bands are: L-band (~1GHz) C-band (~4~6 GHz) Ku-band (~11-14 GHz) Ku band becoming increasingly over-crowded New orbital positions are becoming harder to come by Ku band over developed regions is increasingly used for DTH services 19

20 HTS / Ka band Brings advantages: Available bandwidth Significantly increased throughput Cost effective capacity Small antenna systems 20

21 THOR 7- An expansion path for the Energy /Maritime sectors Ka band HTS payload Ka capacity for Oil & Gas, Maritime, Govt. and Aero. Verticals Reinforce prime offshore position at 1 West With additional land-based coverage over Europe and the Middle East THOR 7 HTS payload will offer Multi-Gigabit throughput, Target area: North Sea, Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean etc. Capacity expansion provides scope to strengthen our clients position in key markets 21

22 THOR 7- Ka-band payload Location: 1 West Target area: North Sea, Red Sea, Baltic Sea, Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Band: Ka-band payload Satellite manufacturer: Space Systems/Loral Launch vehicle : Ariane 5 Expected launch date: Mid 2014 Life: > 15 years 22

23 Typical Spot Beam configuration 23

24 THOR 7 Ka band configuration 32 spot beams Channel bandwidth Frequency range Polarisation circular 31 fixed beams Forward MHz Uplink GHz User uplink: RHCP 1 steerable beam Return MHz Downlink GHz User downlink: LHCP Slide 24

25 How it works 25

26 Traditional Ku Satellite vs. Ka Satellite Ku-Band Ka-Band Coverage Regional, Global Regional, Global Number of spots Small (1-5) Large (10-100) Beam shape Circular, Shaped Circular Polarisation Linear (typ.) Circular (typ.) EIRP ~ 46-54dBW ~ dbw G/T ~ 0-6 db/k ~ 6-14 db/k Throughput ~1 Gbps ~ Gbps 26

27 Satellite Technology Next generation satellites often called HTS High Throughput Satellites Throughput Through frequency reuse the capacity increases dramatically Small Ku Medium Ku Large Ku Thor HTS 7 Small Ku Medium Ku Large Ku Thor HTS 7 27

28 Satellite Technology Ka-band Satellites offer many times more Mbits for the same investment Key to driving down cost of space segment Have to dimension for the extra attenuation Fade Mitigation Requires new equipment/antenna Additional regional Ka-band satellites will be launched 28

29 Leveraging the advantage 29

30 Services and applications Fixed services Antenna sizes (typical): cm Transmit power (typical): 1 3 Watts Bit rates: 10+ Mbps (Rx), 1-2 Mbps (Tx) SNG / Contribution services Antenna size (typical): cm Transmit power (typical): Watts Bit rates: 10+ Mbps (Rx), 10+ Mbps (Tx) Maritime services Antenna size (typical): ~60 cm Transmit power (typical): 3-5 Watts Typical Bit rates: 10+ Mbps (Rx), 4-6 Mbps (Tx) 30

31 Service advantages Higher bit rates Lower service cost HTS/Ka-band satellites can deliver much more throughput than conventional satellites at comparable cost levels Cost per Gbit in the sky goes down Potential savings on equipment Smaller antenna systems In short: HTS/Ka-band has the potential to provide more for less 31

32 Equipment Possible to use smaller antennas 60 cm Ka-band is ~= 100 cm Ku-band antenna Translate to significant difference in radome size Smaller antennas generally means lighter Easier to place and install Means smaller vessels can be targeted Smaller should essentially mean less cost Volume is key to reducing cost further 32

33 Vision T And this translates to... The Advantages for E&P The advantage of HTS/Ka Band will act as an enabler to address the bandwidth hungry demands of the industry now and in the future and will facilitate key tangible benefits such as:- Enhancing the Intelligent Digital Oilfield Improved and Optimised Production Lower Service Costs Improved Staff Attraction and Retention Centralised Collaborative decision making 33

34 Vision T In Summary Demand for Bandwidth will continue to increase Use of HTS/Ka-band is the next evolutionary step for E&P Comms Offers significant advantages in terms of bandwidth and potential cost efficiencies In the next 3-5 years HTS/Ka-Band will start to play a significant role in E&P THOR 7 will provide clear focus on E&P and Maritime Will act as an enabler to help address the challenges facing the Oil and Gas industry 34
