Intelligent Wellhead Systems, a leading provider of automation and digitalization solutions to the oil and gas industry, along with ProFrac, a foremost provider of hydraulic fracturing services, has announced the first successful field tests utilizing MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol for the safe and efficient transfer and visualization of wellsite data during hydraulic fracturing operations.
Intelligent Wellhead Systems and ProFrac Services Announce New Method for Completions Data Transfer

Working with an Operator in the Haynesville, Intelligent Wellhead Systems (IWS) and ProFrac Services developed the solution that enhances wellsite connectivity and improves data transmission.

“Currently, wellsite data is transmitted during fracturing operations by a standard communications cable using CSV (Comma Separated Value) protocol. While this method is robust, it is quite limited in what it can do, particularly with changes in the data being transmitted. A better solution is MQTT, a modern communication protocol that allows more data information than standard CSV protocol. Metadata, including the channel name for each data curve, can now be sent. Instead of mapping just the serial order of data, the data channel name can now be mapped as well,” commented Bob Duncan, IWS Vice President of Product Strategy.
