Requirements
The client wanted to monitor the injection gas pressure of gas lift remotely in central control room. Antitheft measures are needed to install new equipments and cables.
Benefits
Operation cost reduced by eliminating the visit to the platforms to monitor the gas pressure. No need to prevent cable thefts.
Challenge
Four hundred pressure transmitters should be installed.
Solution
The client chose to use wireless transmitters which don't need to use cables to transmit data to central control room. Four hundred of wireless pressure transmitters were installed on offshore wells for monitoring gas pressure of gas lift. The long range communication capability and massive scalability of Yokogawa's plant-wide field wireless system enabled this offshore application.
Equipment List
EJX430B and EJX110B x 400
YFGW410 / 520 x 90
Conclusion
Install cost reduced due to no need for cabling and antitheft measure for cable.
Eliminating the visit to the platforms reduced operation cost drastically. Safety of personnel was enhanced due to no need for travel over the sea.
Productivity enhancement is expected due to early pressure change detection.

Oil & Gas
Yokogawa has a wealth of experience in every part of the oil and gas business, from offshore and onshore facilities to pipelines, terminals, and deepwater operations. We provide solutions that enhance safety, ensure accurate and reliable operation, and increase plant efficiency.
-
Upstream
The upstream industry includes offshore and onshore activities including wellhead automation, fractionation, completion, and separation to recover and prepare underground or underwater crude oil and natural gas.
As petroleum is brought to the surface, it must be separated prior to transport. Primary and secondary separation stages commonly distribute gas flow, water flow, and oil flow in three phase separation. Gas movement requires pipeline and can include a fractionation process in the upstream stage prior to movement. Liquids can be placed into a tanks or pipelines and sent for processing, requiring accurate level measurements.
