Prevent crude theft, manage inventory remotely via new real-time well monitoring technology

摘要

OpenTundra Oil Well Monitoring Systems are introduced with patent-pending real-time technology to help producers and royalty owners prevent theft and manage inventory. Existing well monitor methods are declared to rely on manual checks which can be misreported or fabricated by a pumper or crude hauler. The process requires an individual routinely visit each well to measure tank crude oil and water height with a manual tap gauge and water paste. This method does not detect a tank's BSW in which oil and water are emulsified in different ratios. Thus, a tank's saltwater and BSW are not measured separated from crude oil. When BSW is pulled from the tank, it's often only reported as water. However, oil in the layer can be reclaimed and sold.
