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.
