Patent ID: 8169854

Claim:
System for wireless transmission of data in a producing or injecting well associated with oil and gas production in which a well fluid flows therethrough, the system comprising: means for data acquisition, means for data conversion adapted for converting the data to a simplified number format, means for wireless data transmission, control means, a power source, and a static pulse generation device adapted for generating static pressure fluctuations in the well fluid by applying the static pulses with a time interval there between which equals, or is greater than, the time constant of the process system as defined by Equation 1: T = RC = ( P 1 - P 2 Q ) · ( V P 1 - P 2 ) where T is the time constant of the system, R represents the resistance in the system, C is capacitance, Q is flow rate and V is the volume of the fluid wherein the static pressure fluctuations in the well fluid represents the simplified number.
