COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract:

An apparatus for controlling communication of data in a communications network within a well environment is provided. The apparatus includes a computer processor configured to undertake a method. The method includes analyzing previously recorded well parameter data recorded in the and/or one or more further well environments; determining, based on the analyzed well parameter data, a communication protocol for a node of the communications network; and uploading the determined communication protocol to the node. When deployed in the well environment, the node is configured to transmit and/or receive communications signals to/from one or more further nodes in the communications network using the determined communication protocol.
