Wireless Well Fluid Extraction Monitoring System

A wireless dynamometer system, which operates in conjunction with a computer to monitor performance of a sucker rod driven pump, the system comprising:

• a host software application for execution on the computer;
• a wireless base having a base radio transceiver interfaced to the computer;
• a wireless remote having a sucker rod clamp, and having a strain gauge fixed to said sucker rod clamp and coupled to a first digital converter that samples, at a first sampling rate, load signals indicative of instantaneous sucker rod loads to generate a stream of load data;
• an accelerometer, fixed to said wireless remote, and coupled to a second digital converter that samples sucker rod instant rate of acceleration signals at a second sampling rate to generate a stream of acceleration data;
• a remote radio transceiver that transmits said stream of acceleration data and said stream of load data to said host software application through said base radio transceiver using a radio protocol, and wherein
• said host software application receives and processes said stream of acceleration data and said stream of load data to generate and display, on the computer, a real time dynagraph showing performance of the sucker rod driven pump, and wherein
• said base radio transceiver and said remote radio transceiver utilize said radio protocol to communicate host commands from said host software application to said wireless remote, and to communicate remote commands from said wireless remote to said host software application, and wherein said host commands include a synchronization signal sent to synchronize said first sampling rate of said first digital converter and said second sampling rate of said second digital converter.
