The Design of Wireless Sensor Network for Real Time Remote Monitoring of Oil&Gas Flow Rate Metering Infrastructure

This research work described the design of wireless sensor network for real-time remote monitoring of oil& gas flow rate metering infrastructure. The network includes flow sensor, pumping machine, Microcontroller, WiFi and a database server. The pumping machine pumps the oil& gas then a flow sensor monitors the flow rate and remotely report the data wirelessly to the database server for further processes, the resulting data is store on the database server in form of a real time data which can easily be access in order to know the amount of oil& gas being lifted without seeking to collect the data from the several stations manually. This system maintained near real-time visibility of flow rate measurement data, regardless of where the oil well are located and allows for inexpensive monitoring of oil and gas lifting in order to checkmates corruption in the oil and gas industry through transparency and accountability.
