Oil field lease management and security system and method therefor

摘要

The oil field lease management and security system and method of the present invention for monitoring oil field equipment and for communicating with authorized operators. The system of the present invention includes a plurality of transducers connected to the equipment for sensing operational parameters of the equipment such as fluid levels in oil field storage tanks, a plurality of controllers connected to the equipment for controlling operational components of the equipment such as determining when an oil tank is filled and activating a shut-off valve to prevent further filling of the tank, a communication access panel for allowing an authorized operator to interface with the system, and a monitoring system interconnected with the transducers, the controllers, and the communication access panel for periodically monitoring each of the transducers and the communication access panel wherein the monitoring system is capable of storing transducer information corresponding to the operational parameters from the transducers such as the levels of oil in the storage tanks and operator information from the communication access panel such as the operator's password and access code.
