OIL & GAS For more information: www.EmersonProcess.com/Remote RESULTS ??Real-time data collected remotely at 400 wellheads ??RTU functionality saves manpower and promotes personnel safety ??Effi cient management of production information APPLICATION Remote coal bed methane production wellhead data collection CUSTOMER Chinese oil and gas company producing coal bed methane CHALLENGE Coal bed methane (CBM) extraction has become a viable alternative to coal mining in China. To extract the methane gas resident in subsurface coal seams often requires a large number of closely drilled wells pad sites in remote locations. The gathering lines transport gas through the valve stations where Control Wave Express RTUs are located. Collecting complete wellhead data to monitor production can be
