Patent ID: 7591308

Claim:
A method of optimizing fluid (gas/oil) throughput of a battery complex to monitor and control the flow of an individual well in a collective field of wells at any particular instance in time and to allocate production of a specific well, comprising the steps of: providing a master control unit within said battery complex; placing an individual control unit in communication with at least one of said individual wells in said field of wells; arranging a communication network between each of said at least one of said individual control units in said field and said master control unit in said battery complex; arranging at least a first or upper plunger and a second or lower plunger in at least one of the individual wells; sending well condition signals from at least the first or the second plunger in the individual well to said individual control unit in communication with said individual well; reporting each individual well's production factors to said master control unit; and sending a control signal to each individual well to control its production based upon the monitoring of the collective signals of said individual control units and individual well's signals received by said master control unit from said field of individual wells.
