Finally an Electronic Gas Measurement System Designed for Production Operations!

Problem

Large and small operators are faced with the need to furnish check meter points with electronic gas measurement (EGM) to:

· avoid gas imbalance penalties

· provide an accurate flow measurement for auditing electronic custody transfer gas meters

Unfortunately today’s EGM systems were built for pipeline companies whose only purpose at any point is to record gas purchases. Pipelines are permanent installations capable of supporting expensive installation costs, elaborate communication networks, and extensive support staff for managing flow data. The need was to calculate flow and bring the flow numbers into a manned site.

The operator on the other hand has production scattered all over the country and those areas of interest constantly change with time. Operators need to not only know what their flow numbers are but why and when those numbers change so action can be taken. Operators interested in EGM usually can not afford the electronic and software support that must accompany installations and data retrieval.

Solution

Install a self contained portable EGM system such as the Sentry SCADA 3000. SCADA 3000 features both voice and data formats for real-time flows, pressures, and status. Field personnel are able to call into the unit as well as receive alarms by voice when conditions have changed at your site. SCADA 3000, solar power and communications including the antenna are all on a single pole-mounted stand maximizing portability and minimizing expense.
