Abstract: Oil and Gas Industries are continually being driven by cost cutting measures, the need to gain more operational information, and increased efficiencies. Wireless instruments can be a significant option towards cutting cost and can lead to better efficiencies. Rapid deployment, paired with other conventional equipment, can lead to advanced well optimization. These are the steps production companies now recognize as a method of increasing production and decreasing cost. With a rugged design and area classification meeting Class I Div. I hazardous location requirements, wireless instrumentation is designed for the majority of Oil and Gas applications. Operating in extreme temperature and humidity ranges, todays wireless designs provide easy to install alternatives to traditional hardwired sensors. True wireless instrumentation is comprised of self contained, self-powered field units providing process data to a centralized base radio through an unlicensed band, spread-spectrum, and frequency hopping wireless connections. Networks of up to 100 field units (900MHz version) can be created and polled by a single base radio using a secure, proprietary Industrial Wireless protocol, with a typical range between field unit and base radio of up to 5000ft (-1500m). With the capability to scale up to as many as 256 wireless instrumentation LANs, Wireless Instrumentation networks easily accommodate future expansion plans.
