AnTech Ltd, a specialist engineering design and manufacturing company serving the international upstream oil and gas industries, announced it will be showcasing its new suite of Daq> data acquisition systems designed specifically for use during coiled tubing (CT) operations at this year’s SPE/ICoTA Coiled Tubing and Well Intervention Conference and Exhibition on 1-2 April 2008 in The Woodlands, Texas. Each system measures, records and transmits real-time data on depth, temperature, pressure, flow and load that is critical to carrying out successful CT operations.

The new range offers CT engineers a scaleable approach to wellsite data acquisition.

The wireless Daq>W is a flexible option which operates without cables. This modular, battery-powered system gathers data through wireless mesh-networked sensors. As data is acquired by the sensors, it is immediately stored in memory located within the transmitting unit, and then transmitted at regular intervals – from 50 to 100 meters away depending on environmental conditions – at a data rate of 160bits per second to the receiving unit in the control cabin.
