Abstract: An Internet of Things (IoT) gateway integrated into a real-time monitoring system for skid-mounted natural gas compression systems. The IoT gateway enables remote monitoring, troubleshooting, and diagnosing of natural gas compression systems by providing access to cellular and satellite communication networks for communicating operational data to one or more remote servers. The IoT gateway can be configured to select a communication network based on an order of priority and other various criteria. The order of priority and the selection criteria may be updated over the air. The IoT gateway can be further configured to receive and relay software and other updates to one or more components of the natural gas compression system. The IoT gateway is configured to meet various regulatory compliance standards and is explosion proof.

Abstract: A real-time monitoring system for skid-mounted reciprocating natural gas compressors. The system not only monitors performance and makes analytical diagnostic predictions of potentially problematic valves and such, but also has alert system for real-time monitoring, troubleshooting and diagnosing of such natural gas compressors—both locally and remotely. Operators can more efficiently and effectively manage maintenance and operation of the skid-mounted compressors with the implementation of LED equipped sensors that allow operators to locally quickly identify valves and other components requiring maintenance. Additionally, operators can remotely identify and understand deviations from optimal performance with the implementation of color-coded soft gauges.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling an augmented reality device to easily collect, analyze, transmit, and act on wireless information transmitted from various instruments on hydrocarbon production and pipeline skids. The augmented reality device preferentially presents and records available data streams from the various instruments on the hydrocarbon production and pipeline skids in an augmented reality user interface. The augmented reality user interface preferentially presents such data streams as readings from the various instruments in an easy-to-read, color-coded display, wherein the color coding relates to various in-tolerance and out-of-tolerance ranges related to each of the various instruments.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling a handheld device to easily collect, analyze, transmit, and act on wireless information transmitted from various instruments on hydrocarbon production and pipeline skids. The handheld device preferentially presents available data streams based on which instruments are closest to the handheld device, as determined using available information such as signal strength or GPS or other location-based services.
