Fluid Movement Tracking System, Especially Suitable for Water and Crude Oil Produced in Connection With Oil and Gas Well Operations

摘要

A fluid movement tracking system, enabling tracking of fluids moved between a pickup location and a disposal location by tank truck, utilizes identifiers, typically Quick Response or “QR” codes, mounted on fluid containers (commonly tanks) to provide information about fluid type, container capacity and location, etc. The QR codes are scanned by an optical reader on a handheld portable computing device, for example a tablet device, using a wireless mobile operating system such as the Android system. In addition to the QR code information, other information including but not limited to the fluid type, fluid volume, tank truck, the tank truck driver, are all entered. The information is received by a data process, CPU or computer via a wireless data transmission network, either by Wifi or cellular network, via appropriate software, and enters same into spreadsheets for tracking, billing, and other purposes.
