Abstract:
A system for automatically and optimally balancing lift gas in a pipeline network for lift-gas wells of an oil field. The system includes peer-to-peer sensors for (1) generating local gas values, (2) receiving system data including local gas target values for each of the sensors and first local gas request parameters from at least one other sensor, (3) controlling a corresponding flow control device based on the local gas values and target local gas values for the sensor, and the first local gas request parameters, (4) calculating second local gas request parameters for the sensor based on the local gas values, the local target values, and the system data; and (5) transmitting the system data including the second local gas request parameters to at least one other sensor.

Claim (Index 14):
A sensor for controlling gas flows in a gas pipeline network of an oil field, the gas pipeline network having a plurality of gas input points, a plurality of gas output points, and pipelines connected therebetween, the pipelines interconnected by at least one junction, each of the gas input points, gas output points and junction having a gas property sensor and a flow control device, the sensor comprising:\n an input interface for operatively coupling with a gas property detector in a pipeline network and receiving detector data; a network communication module for receiving system data including first local gas request parameters, and for transmitting system data including second local gas request parameters; a first calculator for calculating flow rate controller device settings based on the detector data, the system data, and the first local gas request parameters; a flow rate controller device controller for operatively coupling with a flow rate controller device and for controlling it based on the flow rate controller device settings; and a second calculator for calculating the second local gas request parameters based on the system data and the detector data.
