The projects in Keathley Canyon in the Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) leverage Tampnet’s digital and engineering concept for high-capacity offshore connectivity, which is set to enable remote collaboration and data-driven operations.

Tampnet will provide subsea optical fiber and 5G connectivity to both assets, ensuring secure, real-time data transfer between offshore installations and onshore operations centers. The network will support digital twins and remote visualization tools, improving monitoring, planning and execution while enhancing safety and reducing reliance on vessels and helicopters.

To support the projects and increasing customer demand in the region, including developments for Beacon Offshore Energy and LLOG Exploration, Tampnet is expanding its US Gulf network with approximately 400 kilometers of new subsea fiber infrastructure and an additional 10,000 km² of offshore 4G/5G coverage.

Following the expansion, Tampnet’s network will exceed 1,900 kilometers of subsea fiber, connecting 24 offshore facilities from 2029. In total, Tampnet currently delivers connectivity solutions to more than 100 offshore units across the region, including production platforms, drilling rigs and vessels.

Elie Hanna, CEO of Tampnet, commented: “These developments demonstrate how digitalization and standardization can be used to reshape deepwater field execution. Tampnet’s network is an enabler for realizing gains in safety, efficiency and cost through reliable, low-latency connectivity. The projects strengthen our long-term position in the Gulf as the leading provider of critical offshore connectivity, supporting the digital transformation of offshore energy operations in the region.”
