Abstract

Wireless devices and systems have been deployed in many communication sectors but have not yet been adequately adapted to harsh industrial environments. Cost effective, reliable and scalable wireless technologies have yet to be introduced in industrial plants, including petroleum plants. At this Stime, there are very few, if any, cost-effective Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) radios available that can be used to provide reliable data links under the very harsh conditions encountered in petroleum environments. This paper presents a strategic approach to research wireless system technologies and their application to the oil and gas industry, specifically for asset integrity and automated diagnostic CBM applications.
