Remote Monitoring Solutionfor Desert Locations
Theremotemonitoringsystemconsistsofanonintrusiveretrottoexistingwellheadequipment. The goal is to reduce the number of site visits required by providing robustwellheadproductiondatawirelesslytooperatorofces.
The concept for remote monitoring is to install a suite of sensors that can be integratedonto the existing production equipment. The sensors communicate with a receiver hub atthe well site. The hub can process
the data locally on site or simplyrelay the data via satellite or localcommunications network to anofcelocationorInternetsite.
