Wireless Propagation in a Metallic Pipe for the Transmission of Sensory Oil and Gas Well Data

The feasibility of a wireless system is examined for propagation inside an oil and gas well pipeline. bore environment modeled as circular aluminium pipe treated metallic microwave waveguide. experimentation test bed was based on the nominal diameters commercially available pipelines. At transceivers, half-wave dipole antennas operating at 2.5 GHz were employed. Due to excitation frequency enclosed environment, parameters such propagating mode, directivity, realized effective gain also needed be investigated this scenario. Additionally, numerical transmission path loss model developed verified using full-wave simulations measurements. communications link facilitated continuous monitoring sensory data with real-time temperature pressure levels transmitted N210 universal software radio peripheral modems by National Instruments symbol coding orthogonal division multiplexing. This study experimental work can basis implementation high-speed deployment pipelines frequencies.
