Applying Wireless Instrumentation To Optimize Oil And Gas Wells

By Denis Rutherford

The natural gas and oil industry is continually driven by cost-cutting measures and the need to gain more operational efficiencies and visibility to regulatory requirements. Wireless instrumentation systems provide highly accurate digital readings to the control system to assist in making control decisions at the well site. This paper summarizes a solution in which wireless instruments integrate with other conventional equipment to offer a rapidly deployable advanced well optimization system.
