SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING THE PRODUCTION LEVEL OF WELLS

摘要

A control system for optimizing the flow of fluid from a plurality of pipelines in communication with a resource field includes a sensor array detecting characteristics of the resource field, the plurality of pipelines, and the flow of fluid through the plurality of pipelines. A first manifold assembly and a second manifold assembly each selectively receives the flow of fluid from any of the plurality of pipelines. A controller is provided to be in communication with the sensor array, the first manifold assembly and the second manifold assembly. The controller selectively diverts the flow of the fluid from a first group of the plurality of pipelines to one of the first and the second manifold assemblies, and diverts a second group of the plurality of pipelines to another of the first and the second manifold assemblies, in dependence upon the characteristics being communicated to the controller.

1. A control system for optimizing the flow of fluid from a plurality of pipelines, said plurality of pipelines being in communication with a resource field, said control system comprising:
a sensor array, said sensor array detecting an operational and environmental characteristic of one or more of said resource field, said plurality of pipelines and said flow of fluid through said plurality of pipelines; a plurality of manifold assemblies for selectively receiving said flow of fluid from said plurality of pipelines; a controller in communication with said sensor array, said plurality of pipelines and said plurality of manifold assemblies; and wherein said controller selectively diverts said flow of said fluid from a first group of said plurality of pipelines to one of said plurality of manifold assemblies, while diverting said flow of said fluid from a second group of said plurality of pipelines to another of said plurality of manifold assemblies, all in dependence upon said operational and environmental characteristic communicated to said controller.
