IMPLEMENTATION OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR REAL TIME MONITORING OF OIL AND GAS FLOW RATE METERING INFRASTRUCTURE

Ayuba. John and John. Adomokhai Igimoh

Abstract: This research work described the design and implementation of wireless sensor network for real-time remote monitoring of oil & gas flow rate metering infrastructure. The system maintained a continuous measurement of the flow rate and displayed the result in real time; regardless of where the oil well were located and allowed for inexpensive monitoring of oil and gas processing from wellheads to export terminals to bring transparency, accountability and reduced corruption in the oil and gas industries. It is focused at harnessing the economic opportunities in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria and the world around. The wireless sensor network includes flow sensor, pumping machine, microcontroller, wifi or wireless link and a database server. The pumping machine pumps the oil & gas then a flow rate sensor measured the quantity and communicates the flow rate data in meter cube per second via a wireless link to the database server for further processes. The resulting data is stored on the database server while the continuous flow rate is displayed in real time on the website designed as the human interaction interface through which the quantity of the oil and gas lifted can easily be access in order to know the amount without seeking to collect the data from the several stations manually. The cost-effective indices for reporting the quantity of oil and gas lifting is of significance to any accountable and transparent system, however, manual processes have not been able to do that in real time. As a need for urgent and reliable approach, the approached of a real time provides the most immediate solution; which is the focused of this research work.
