Patent ID: 6954143

Claim:
A mobile system for responding to hydrogen sulfide at a plurality of well sites that are remote relative to a designated host computer, wherein the plurality of well sites includes a first well site and a second well site, comprising: a mobile hydrogen sulfide monitor that is movable between the first well site and the second well site, wherein the mobile hydrogen sulfide monitor when at the first well site determines whether the hydrogen sulfide at the first well site exceeds an allowable limit, and wherein the mobile sulfide monitor when at the second well site determines whether the hydrogen sulfide at the second well site exceeds the allowable limit; an alarm associated with the mobile hydrogen sulfide monitor, wherein the alarm is generated at the first well site in response to the mobile hydrogen sulfide monitor determining that the hydrogen sulfide at the first well site exceeds the allowable limit, and wherein the alarm is generated at the second well site in response to the mobile hydrogen sulfide monitor determining that the hydrogen sulfide at the second well site exceeds the allowable limit; a mobile transmitter associated with the mobile hydrogen sulfide monitor and transmitting an alarm signal as a result of the mobile hydrogen sulfide monitor determining that the hydrogen sulfide exceeds the allowable limit; a wireless communication link that conveys the alarm signal from the mobile transmitter to the designated host computer, a first location signal that identifies the location of the first well site, wherein the first location signal is communicated from first well site to the designated host computer when the mobile transmitter is at the first well site and the hydrogen sulfide exceeds the allowable limit; and a second location signal that identifies the location of the second well site, wherein the second location signal is communicated from second well site to the designated host computer when the mobile transmitter is at the second well site, whereby the designated host computer becomes informed of where the hydrogen sulfide has exceeded the allowable limit.
