For The Oil & Gas Industry
Pioneering The World Of Wireless Solutions In Oil & Gas Wellhead Operations
Today, every aspect of the oil & gas production and completion industry is focused on improving asset productivity and operating efficiency. With this in mind, wireless technology is taking center stage. From instantaneous visibility of wellhead conditions and the ability to adapt to, control and optimize wellhead production and enhance protection of the environment, wireless technology is changing the industry landscape forever. No longer are operators restricted by the remoteness of their wellheads as the technology is enabling 24/7/365 visibility-andresponse capabilities that drive substantial productivity gains and cost reductions. No trenching or cabling. No time-consuming, expensive manual monitoring. Increased efficiency and critical decision-making is moved to highly trained experts where multiple well operations can be monitored simultaneously — in real-time, right-time…or anytime. Environmental compliance, protection and reduced impact on wildlife areas is greatly improved. When a potential problem is sensed, alarms are sent to the right people, right now. Ferguson Beauregard is at the forefront of this industry changing revolution. We’re pioneering the world of wireless solutions in oil & gas wellhead production through vision and innovation.

iNodes™ Wireless Technology
Raising the Bar
As the demand for fossil fuels continues to increase, oil & gas operators are expected to increase output, meet new, more stringent environmental and security compliance laws, improve operating efficiencies, and at the same time reduce costs. Wireless monitoring and networking technologies are helping to make this possible. Ferguson Beauregard iNodes™ Wireless Monitoring devices deliver right-time visibility of liquid levels, temperatures, flow rates and pressures to help oil & gas well operators improve their field operations: • Provides continuous remote access to monitoring of wellheads, tanks, flare stacks and sales lines from anywhere at anytime • Lowers upfront costs – no trenching or cabling • Reduces operating expenses • Eliminates manual monitoring which is time-consuming and expensive, and can only be done periodically • Improves field performance and monitoring reliability • Improves safety, health and environmentalresponsibility and compliance • Increases scalability of monitoring systems to accommodate growth • Improves visibility: • Web-based viewing and reporting of data with iNodeView™ • Integrate with existing SCADA systems Enhance your operations with affordable, effective Ferguson Beauregard wireless iNodes™ monitoring devices and communications solutions. Whether you want to expand or enhance an existing SCADA operation with local intelligence, or introduce production-enhancing technology to your wellheads for the first time, iNodes™ Wireless Monitoring is the smart choice.
iNodes™ Wireless Tank Level Monitors (TLM-3 and TLMe)
The TLMs are a cost-effective method for unattended low / high level alarming in fluid storage tanks. Level alarms can be forwarded to the customer via telephone or email. These small, integrated packages are solar-powered with rechargeable battery storage, field configurable and can be accessed by CFR-enabled PCs and PDAs. The TLM-3 is a reliable, accurate float-based level sensor designed for one or two product tanks. The TLMe is an ultra-sonic, temperature-compensated level sensor.
iNodes™ Wireless Pressure Monitor (WPM)
The iNodes WPM offers wellhead pressure measurement and logging with an optional temperature probe for flare stack monitoring. User-configurable process alarms can be forwarded to the customer via telephone or email. This small, integrated package is solar-powered with rechargeable battery storage, field configurable and can be accessed by CFR-enabled PCs and PDAs.
iNodes™ Wireless Electronic Flow Monitor (EFM)
The EFM is a multi-variable electronic flow meter. It is a replacement for chart recorders with the added benefits of unattended data collection and storage. User-configurable flow alarms can be forwarded to the customer via telephone or email. These small, integrated packages are solar-powered with rechargeable battery storage, field configurable and can be accessed by CFR-enabled PCs and PDAs.
iNodes™ Wireless Data Switch (WDS)
WDS enables collection, storage and transmission of data from third party field sensors. User-configurable flow alarms can be forwarded to the customer via telephone or email. These small, integrated packages are solar-powered with rechargeable battery storage, field configurable and can be accessed by CFR-enabled PCs and PDAs.

iNodes™ Concentration & Communication Units (CCU & MG-CCU)
The Concentration & Communication Unit is a completely self-contained, wireless bridge between the local area iNode sensor network and the outside world. The CCU serves as a hub and collects, stores and concentrates information from all iNode sensors at a remote site and relays it through a data-processing office for viewing on the Internet. The Modbus™ Gateway CCU (MG-CCU) is designed to support the Modbus protocol in a SCADA system. The MG-CCU interfaces with industry standard Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) or long-range radio, allowing the SCADA infrastructure to retrieve data from any remote iNodes™ sensor.
iNodes™ Compact Flash Radio (CFR)
The CFR provides a self-contained access point for iNodes wireless sensing applications. It is used with a Personal Data Assistant (PDA) or laptop computer to collect, review and save iNodes data on site, initialize and configure iNodes units and upgrade their firmware.
Long-Distance Communications
Communications from the CCU to the data processing office can be achieved via optional satellite modem, cellular modem or over a private radio network.
iNodes™ Concentration & Communication Unit – Remote Terminal Interface (CCU-RTU)
The CCU-RTU allows operators to wirelessly monitor more data points. It extends existing SCADA by adding multiple data points from the well or battery to SCADA systems. It periodically retrieves data from iNode devices at remote sites, then converts the data to analog and/or digital outputs compatible with standard RTU inputs. CCU-RTU offers a simple, flexible solution for interfacing iNode data to existing RTU-based automation systems.
