Abstract: A system for communication in an oil and gas well, the system including a controller, a first universal wireless adapter (UWA) wirelessly coupled to the controller, where the UWA is coupled to a first field device, a second UWA wirelessly coupled to the controller, where the UWA is coupled to a second field device, where the controller passes a control token among the first and second UWAs based upon communication traffic between the first and second UWA and the first and second field devices respectively. In some embodiments, this control token may be passed between the first and second UWAs depending upon communications between the respective UWAs and their field devices. For example, in the event that communication traffic is greater between the first UWA and the first field device, then the control token is passed to the first UWA.

Abstract: This system connects groups of end-devices at two or more automated oil or gas production wellheads or groups of end-devices at two or more associated wellhead facilities so that such associated end devices may be wirelessly monitored and measured during wellhead production, and then wirelessly controlled by one or more master remote terminal/telemetry unit MRTU. Each MRTU is in turn in communication with and controlled by a host computer system. Such measurement and control of the end devices is accomplished through slave remote terminal/telemetry units SRTUs which are connected to and capable of communications with associated end-devices. Each SRTU is in turn connected to one or more local area network LAN communication system, each of which LAN is in turn connected, by hard wire or wirelessly, to a wide area network WAN transmitter. Each WAN is in wireless communication with a host computer.
