WHAT: Wireless Plunger Lift Systems
In recent years, artificial lift technologies and processes have become increasingly popular as methods for optimizing oil and gas production. In addition, automation electronics manufacturers have been focusing a great deal of their development efforts on plunger lift control applications. Artificial lift is a process that allows oil and gas producers to optimize well production while also minimizing overall maintenance and life cycle costs. This presentation will explain the benefits of plunger lift control automation and the newest, best, and most novel control methods that are used
Leveraging Hybrid Wireless Systems
Companies with large geographically dispersed remote networks in the oil and gas industry can select one technology, one source, one vendor to collect, retrieve and report data to assess the health of the network. Sometimes, this type of approach makes sense. However, other times integrating other types of technologies offer significant benefits that can easily and more cost-effectively be incorporated into one cohesive network. This presentation will provide attendees with specific ways they can set up and deploy hybrid networks to drive maintenance/monthly costs down – directly impacting their bottom line; decrease polling cycle times; reduce the time needed to identify and rectify problems within the network; and, eliminate system “pinch points” – or single points of failure.

FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ OIL AND GAS EXPERT, JIM GARDNER, TO PRESENT AT GAS WELL DELIQUIFICATION WORKSHOP
WHO: Jim Gardner
Business Development Manager
FreeWave Technologies, Inc.
Jim Gardner is the oil and gas team leader for FreeWave Technologies, Inc. Prior to joining FreeWave, Gardner was Vice President at Remote Operating Systems. Gardner graduated from the University of Washington in 1975 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Gardner is currently a member of ENTELEC, ASGMT and ISHM.

WHAT: ”Wireless Communication to a Plunger Lift Well”
Traditionally, an operator was required to manually shut in the well to create pressure downhole in wells that suffered from heavy fluid loads. Artificial lift is a method used to build enough downhole pressure to lift or produce the liquid from the well. With options for communicating plunger lift data to the RTU being wired or wireless, producers have a decision to consider. To support producers’ plunger lift control objectives, automation electronics manufacturers have been focusing a great deal of their development efforts on the plunger lift control applications. Today, these technologies can be supported at the site with either wired or wireless solutions. This presentation will discuss wireless as an alternative to wired solutions. It presents some of the capabilities of wireless that are on par with wired and some that are superior. Also presented is a simple set of economic inputs that can be used as guidelines for making the choice between wired and wireless options.
