Connection to Platform Automation System

Several kinds of optical surface data-acquisition systems are available. Nearly all of the deployed systems are designed to complement a particular wellsite arrangement; however, the software guiding these systems is identical and is called the Reservoir Monitoring System (RMS).

Weatherford’s surface systems have a variety of connectivity options, all of which are easily configured at the time of installation. No programming or advanced, custom engineering is necessary. The chart below summarizes the options available:

Weatherford surface systems can be connected to well site automation systems in the following ways:

• Modbus
• OPC
• Database
• CSV ASCIl string
• PROFIBUS
• Flat files

Each of these is described in the following paragraphs.
