Clamp-on meter designed for upstream flow operations
ActiveSONAR clamp-on sonar meters are specifically designed to address flow rates and heavy schedule piping in upstream operations.
The new meter uses pulsed-array sonar technology. The nonintrusive, clamp-on design enables units to be deployed on new or existing installations and inherently lowers technical risks and operating costs, the company says.
The combination of ActiveSONAR and PassiveSONAR technology provides clamp-on well flow surveillance specifically designed to address a range of wellhead production and injection surveillance applications.

24/7 physician access serves offshore health needs
InPlace Medical Solutions, an offshore medical service using video telemedicine, has secured physician staffing for 24/7/365 via video telemedicine for its clients.
The company says services are provided by emergency medicine and internal medicine physicians who are board certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine or the American Board of Internal Medicine.
eCareGroup PLLC, an independent physician group based in Houston, has developed a team of physicians—all experienced in video telemedicine—to provide services to offshore and remote locations. The eCareGroup physicians provide offshore care through InPlace Medical Solutions’ video telemedicine systems whenever needed regardless of time of day. To maximize availability, eCareGroup’s doctors follow the premise of the nondistracted provider—meaning they have no other duties when providing this service. eCareGroup is exclusively providing this service to InPlace Medical Solutions.
The eCareGroup doctors are on duty and available 24/7 via live, two-way video conferencing for InPlace Medical Solutions clients. The company says that these doctors stand ready to see patients, diagnose their illness or injury, recommend care and treatment, and prescribe medications when required.
InPlace Medical Solutions’ delivery model is designed to place resources on internet-enabled offshore rigs and remote facilities: specially qualified medics from the eCareGroup, advanced equipment, medical-quality video conferencing, and an electronic medical record system.
