Paper: Instrument Skid Flexibility Improves Frac Job Data Acquisition

An instrument skid especially designed for fracturing data acquisition provides operator flexibility and choices that can help reduce costs of data acquisition and recording. The operator interface panel (OIP) associated with the skid can be viewed at the skid or can be remoted up to 250 ft distance from the skid. Information collected can be used by the on-board computer system and displayed on three screens of the OIP, or the digitized data can be communicated to other computer systems that may be on the job.
