Weatherford´s Testing & Production Services group is continuously working to develop new technologies for enhanced operations as well as to maintain a market edge. One such Testing technology is the fully integrated DataPro real-time data acquisition system (DAQ) used for Well Testing Services. The DataPro DAQ System Utilizes PROFIBUS technology that allows the system to be set up with a single effective cable rather than a myriad individually wired sensor components. Using this digital technology, Weatherford personnel can easily troubleshoot for defective components versus conventional analog (non fieldbus) systems .The DataPro DAQ can integrate into PLC-driven equipment on location on location for control and functionality. Because of readily available digital interfaces, DataPro DAQ Systems can tie into virtually any sensor, meter or actuator on the market today. This is the only one DAQ Systems that achieves Class I, Division I and Zone 1 rating using a digital platform. The DataPro DAQ server runs in a Window platform and uses Ethernet communications. This allows server to access the data both on and off site. Each having a version of our DataPro DAQ System client software to communicate their view of the operation. DataPro data management includes reporting software, data communication and data storage. The project manager can configure the data to be stored in segments of any size based on time, depth, or custom criteria. The data is also exported into ASCII, LAS and XML formats for analysis or transmission. Some of the features available in standard configuration are: • • • • • • • • Features of the reporting software include: Alarm indicators, both warning levels and danger levels. • Multi-level secure system for transmission of data via Ethernet • Client software is individually configurable to allow each user to view data in custom view Windows style allows user to toggle from different screen setups to eliminate excessive data on single screen User can choose from strip chart X-Y plots, numerical, gauge or bar displays User defined equations for calculation of complex properties. Manual data entry for data required that is not measured electronically. WITS interface. • • • Reports will includes End of Well, incidents, and Safety and Daily Tower Log reports. Ability to add operational, general and tower specific comments to report as a function of time depth or both Data can be filtered as desired and frecuncy of reporting is flexible. Data can be reported as a max/min/mean value for each time interval. Plots (X-Y or Strip chrts)
