description: A marginal expense oil well wireless surveillance system to monitor
 system performance and production from rod-pumped wells in real time from
 wells operated by Vaquero Energy in the Edison Field, Main Area of Kern County
 in California has been successfully designed and field tested. The
 surveillance system includes a proprietary flow sensor, a programmable
 transmitting unit, a base receiver and receiving antenna, and a base station
 computer equipped with software to interpret the data. First, the system
 design is presented. Second, field data obtained from three wells is shown.
 Results of the study show that an effective, cost competitive, real-time
 wireless surveillance system can be introduced to oil fields across the United
 States and the world.
