Bin Zhang, Luyuan Wang · 2009
In modern oil industry, real time data transmission and sound database technology can remarkably improve exploration and production efficiency. Satellite-based well site data transmission system (SWDTS) is a unique system combining well site information gathering with real-time data remote transmission by comprehensively applying well site mud logging unit, wireless communication technology and computer information acquisition technology. This paper gives a brief introduction to SWDTS, illustrates system configuration of SWDTS (including hardware and software), key techniques for SWDTS, function of SWDTS, practical effect as well as prospect of SWDTS.
