Abstract
A method of optimizing fluid (gas/oil) throughput of a battery complex to monitor and control the flow of an individual well in a field of wells at any particular instance in time and to allocate production of a specific well. The method comprises one or more of the steps of; providing a master control unit within the battery complex; placing an individual control unit on each of the individual wells in said field of wells; arranging a communications network between each of the individual control units at each well in the field and the master control unit in the battery complex; reporting each individual well's gas production factors to the master control unit; and sending a control signal to each individual well to control its production based upon the monitoring of the collective signals received by the master control unit from the field of individual wells.
