Abstract
Methods for monitoring a wellsite include transporting a mobile monitoring platform to a wellsite. The mobile monitoring platform includes a transportable chassis including two or more wheels; a mast supported by the platform and extendable vertically upward from the chassis; a transceiver including a wireless modem and an antenna; a controller adapted to communicate with the transceiver; and a power module electrically coupled to at least one of the transceiver and the processor. The methods include wirelessly receiving, at the transceiver, wellsite data from a plurality of sensors at or adjacent the wellsite; and wirelessly transmitting, in real-time, the wellsite data to a remote monitoring station
Claims20
A method for monitoring a wellsite, comprising:
- (i) transporting a mobile monitoring platform to a wellsite, the mobile monitoring platform having a communication module in communication with a control module;
- (ii) providing at least one sensor in communication with said control module, said sensor configured to collect wellsite data;
- (iii) providing a camera in communication with said control module;
- (iv) capturing wellsite data by said sensor;
- (v) capturing a video image of a portion of the wellsite by said camera;
- (vi) receiving at said communication module said wellsite data collected by said sensor;
- (vii) receiving at said communication module said one video image captured from said camera;
- and
- (viii) transmitting said wellsite data and said video image from said communication module in real-time;
- (ix) wherein said wellsite data and said at least one video image are at least partially communicated through a communication network to a remote monitoring station.
A wellsite monitoring system, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors adapted to be positioned proximate a wellsite and to measure wellsite values from the wellsite;
- and
- a monitoring platform adapted to be transported to the wellsite, said platform comprising:
- a controller;
- a communication module coupled to said controller, said communication module configured to receive the measured wellsite values from the plurality of sensors;
- a camera coupled to said controller, said camera configured to capture one or more images of the wellsite, wherein said communication module is configured to transmit the measured wellsite values in real-time;
- and
- a processing module comprising at least one memory storage device adapted to store said one or more images, said communication module configured to transmit said one or more images in real-time;
- wherein the transmitted wellsite values and said one or more images are at least partially communicated through a communication network to a remote computing device.
