  • Patent number: 9253454
    Abstract: Methods for monitoring a wellsite include transporting a mobile monitoring platform to a wellsite. The mobile monitoring platform includes a transportable chassis including two or more wheels; a mast supported by the platform and extendable vertically upward from the chassis; a transceiver including a wireless modem and an antenna; a controller adapted to communicate with the transceiver; and a power module electrically coupled to at least one of the transceiver and the processor. The methods include wirelessly receiving, at the transceiver, wellsite data from a plurality of sensors at or adjacent the wellsite; and wirelessly transmitting, in real-time, the wellsite data to a remote monitoring station.

  • Patent number: 6609895
    Abstract: There is disclosed a pump and pumping system for pumping dense phase gases, specifically for injecting carbon dioxide into an oil or gas reservoir that includes a pump, a motor, and a casing in which the pump and motor reside. There is also disclosed a pump and pumping system for injecting dense phase greenhouse gases into a reservoir or underwater. The pump may include a downhole electric submersible pump. A method of controlling the pump and pumping system is also described involving the use of a variable speed drive in conjunction with an on-line gas chromatograph to maintain a constant carbon dioxide injection rate.
