Abstract
A system includes a cloud-based computing system communicatively coupled to a first communication network. The system includes one or more remote terminal units (RTUs) configured to control operations of one or more well devices associated with a hydrocarbon well, wherein the one or more RTUs are inaccessible to the first communication network. The system also includes a mobile computing device configured to communicatively couple to the one or more RTUs via a second communication network in response to the mobile computing device being within a coverage range of the second communication network. The mobile computing device is also configured to download data from the one or more RTUs via the second communication network, communicatively couple to the cloud-based computing system in response to detecting access to the first communication network, and transmit the data to the cloud-based computing system via the first communication network.
