NexLog DX-Series Recording Solutions

Secure, Compliant, and Resilient Communication Recording Solutions

Compliance and Security

Oil and gas operations must adhere to stringent safety and regulatory requirements. Eventide's solutions support compliance with industry mandates through encrypted storage, secure access controls, and complete audit trails​​. This helps companies maintain legal compliance while protecting sensitive communications data.

Reliability and Scalability

Eventide’s Linux-based NexLog DX-Series recorders provide high stability and scalability and easily handle complex, large-scale operations ​​. This allows oil and gas companies to expand their operations without compromising the integrity or accessibility of their recorded data.

Operational Efficiency

Integrating voice, screen, and video recording capabilities facilitates detailed incident reviews and operational assessments, which are critical for improving safety protocols and training in high-risk environments like oil and gas extraction and refining​​.

Multisite Synchronization

The industry-unique Smart Edge Capture Device (SECD) allows for the recording of any number of remote sites (e.g. oil or gas well heads) and transferring the recordings back to a central site where all communications can be monitored and analyzed for safety and performance. The unique caching feature allows for remote storage for of up to 30 days of recordings if the communications link goes down between the remote and central sites.

Remote Accessibility and Resource Consolidation

Eventide’s CloudSync allows oil and gas companies to access recordings from anywhere with an internet connection, which is vital for companies with remote sites or offshore platforms. It also supports resource sharing across multiple locations, optimizing operational efficiency​​.

Mission-Critical Resiliency

Eventide’s NexLog DX-Series recorders and CloudSync offer robust disaster recovery capabilities. This combination ensures that recordings are securely backed up and immediately available in near real-time in AWS or other public cloud environments, minimizing downtime in case of primary site failures​​. This is essential for oil and gas companies that need continuous operations, even during natural disasters or technical failures.

Aramco, the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, is the world's largest integrated energy and chemicals company. With its massive hydrocarbon reserves, advanced production capabilities, and focus on innovation and sustainability, Aramco leads the oil and gas industry. Headquartered in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, Aramco manages over 250 billion barrels of oil equivalent in reserves and operates a vast network of upstream and downstream operations, from exploration to refining and distribution.

Aramco prides itself on maintaining energy security while advancing sustainability initiatives. The company is deeply committed to reducing its carbon footprint and maximizing the value of every barrel of oil, not just through traditional energy products but also through its ventures in chemicals, non-metallic materials, and high-performance fuel technologies. This approach aligns with Aramco's global vision to remain a reliable energy supplier while contributing to environmental goals and Saudi Arabia's economic development.
“Aramco traces its beginnings to 1933 when a Concession Agreement was signed between Saudi Arabia and the Standard Oil Company of California (SOCAL). A subsidiary company, the California Arabian Standard Oil Company (CASOC), was created to manage the agreement.”

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is one of the world’s leading energy producers and largest offshore operators. Established in 1971, ADNOC is at the forefront of responsible energy production, managing an expansive portfolio of oil and gas operations across both onshore and offshore platforms. The company prides itself on advancing the UAE's energy ambitions by balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability.
ADNOC’s operations are deeply rooted in efficiency and innovation. Through projects like the Offshore Electrification initiative, ADNOC aims to reduce its offshore carbon footprint by up to 50%. Moreover, ADNOC is pioneering energy solutions with cutting-edge technologies such as 3D seismic surveys and carbon capture and is working toward achieving gas self-sufficiency for the UAE.
“Across our operations, we aim to reach Net Zero by 2045 – and our 2030 Sustainability Strategy is a key roadmap to achieving this goal. We are continuously implementing sustainable practices to maintain our leading role in the energy transition and safeguard the communities and environments in which we operate.”v

QatarEnergy LNG, established as Qatargas in 1984, is the world’s largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), operating 14 LNG trains with an annual capacity of 77 million tonnes. It plays a pivotal role in global energy markets, mainly through its operations in the North Field, the largest non-associated natural gas reserve globally. QatarEnergy LNG is central to Qatar’s vision of meeting growing energy demand while supporting a low-carbon future by producing cleaner, reliable LNG.

QatarEnergy LNG emphasizes innovation, efficiency, and reliability. Initiatives like Ras Laffan Industrial City integrate LNG production, storage, and export capabilities. The company's expansion projects aim to increase production to 126 million tonnes per year, positioning it as a leader in the global LNG market.
Oil & Gas Middle East covers ten amazing facts about the US$9.3 billion Qatargas 2 project, including:

“Through the Qatargas 2 project, not only will Qatar be capable of supplying up to 20% of the United Kingdom’s gas needs, but the country’s reserves could meet the UK’s gas needs for the next 250 years.”

As a global leader in LNG production with over 70 years of experience, Woodside is known for pioneering the LNG industry in Australia. It started by developing the North West Shelf – Australia's largest resource project – and exporting its first LNG cargo in 1989. Following its merger with BHP Petroleum, Woodside has significantly expanded its global portfolio, including assets in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

Woodside's commitment to sustainability is a key differentiator. The company aims to achieve net zero by 2050, supported by investments in low-carbon energy solutions. Their Scarborough Energy Project further exemplifies their focus on providing cleaner energy while supporting economic growth and job creation.
