RFID Technology for Downhole Well Applications
Well this one is new and interesting though. In the middle of energy crisis, RFID technology comes with solution in the Downhole Well industry. This is one of the RFID Technology Applications that is possibly the answer of increasing oil and gas production to provide a better life.
Currently, engineers are using the current RFID technology to help them enhancing field inspection as well as managing oil rigs safety compliances. It is good news for our sustainability of energy.
In its application, engineer place RFID tag in the casing or drill string. And when the correct code is identified in the specific downhole location, a subsequent conveyed reader will perform a certain operation.
Moreover, engineer also configures downhole tool with RFID reader. This tool will be actuated when the reader identified unique identification code from the tag in certain area inside the downhole.
