Hybrid Media Reporting From Offshore Technology Conference Houston, Texas USA
Offshore Technology Conference Challenge To The Saudi Arabian Oil Company And S.T.E.M Students World
Houston ( AP ), May 09, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aramco - United Arab Emirates A Star At The $10Million Offshore Technology Conference
Hybrid Medial And The New York Times Presents A Challenge To The Saudi Arabian Oil Company And S.T.E.M Students World Wide. The Challenge is to Create A
RFID /Barcodes Hybrid Tool that will
improve safety and make sure in real time that Oil And Gas companies will know where all of their subsea assets are. Hybrid Media discovered at this years 2013 Offshore Technology Conferencein Houston Texas a need to create a RFID /Barcodes Hybrid Tool that will penetrate deep water and send a signal to a GPS Satellite, to generate real time analytics and workflows. Let's start by given you a understanding of RFID /Barcodes Technology.
RFID tags and barcodes both carry information about products. However, there are important differences between these two technologies:
Barcode readers require a direct line of sight to the printed barcode; RFID readers do not require a direct line of sight to either active RFID tags or passive RFID.
RFID tags can be read at much greater distances; an RFID reader can pull information from a tag at distances up to 300 feet. The range to read a barcode is much less, typically no more than fifteen
RFID readers can interrogate, or read, RFID tags much faster; read rates of forty or more tags per second are possible. Reading barcodes is 
much more time-consuming; due to the fact that a direct line of sight is required, if the items are not properly oriented to the reader it may take seconds to read an individual tag. Barcode readers usually take a half-second or more to successfully complete
Line of sight requirements also limit the ruggedness of barcodes as well as the reusability of barcodes. (Since line of sight is required for barcodes, the printed barcode must be exposed on the outside of the product, where it is subject to greater wear and tear.) RFID tags are 
typically more rugged, since the electronic components are better protected in a plastic cover. RFID tags can also be implanted within the product itself, guaranteeing greater ruggedness and reusability. Barcodes have no read/write capability; that is, you cannot add to the information written on a printed barcode. RFID tags, however, can be read/write devices; the RFID reader can communicate with the tag, and alter as much of the information as the tag design will allow. RFID tags are typically more expensive than barcodes, in some cases, much more so.
This RFID /Barcodes Hybrid will work for pipeline assets above ground, the bigger question is how to use this asset tracking for security miles under the sea. Announced at OCT 2013 The Saudi Arabian Oil Company, is a Saudi Arabian national oil and natural gas company based in 
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia is opening three research centers (RCs) in the United States to support our innovation-oriented culture as well an energy research, technology development, and upstream and downstream operational reliability.
The centers are part of a global network of RCs to leverage scientific expertise and strengthen collaboration in providing solutions to Saudi 
Aramco research and technology challenges. The centers closely align their goals with those of Saudi Aramco’s EXPEC Advanced Research Center and its Research and Development Center.
U.S.-based centers are located in Houston; Cambridge, Mass.; and Novi, Mich.
The RCs will assist the company in engaging more closely with partners to bring solutions to the greater industry. The expanded approach is 
about collaboration and establishing strong, strategic relations with specialized centers of excellence to address far-reaching challenges. It will accelerate and expand the company’s capabilities by bringing together top global talent.
Can this type of center create this type of RFID /Barcodes Hybrid technology ? To find out Hybrid Media ask the CEO of Sam Houston Petroleum 
software to put out a Request For Proposal to the Business and University communities to see if anyone can design this type of technology ? Hybrid Media interviewed twenty of the best Engineers and Scientist at Offshore Technology Conference and they all said " if this technology can be created. The originator of this RFID /Barcodes Hybrid Technology will make Millions "
