Integration of Internet of Things (IoT) in Petroleum Reservoir Monitoring: A Comprehensive Analysis of Real-Time Data for Enhanced Decision-Making

Abstract

This research paper delves into the pivotal role of the Internet of Things (IoT) in revolutionizing petroleum reservoir monitoring for improved decision-making. In the evolving landscape of reservoir management, the integration of IoT devices provides unprecedented access to real-time data streams from various sensors deployed within the reservoir infrastructure. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the utilization of IoT in the petroleum industry, focusing on its application in enhancing data acquisition, monitoring, and decision support systems. Through the deployment of sensors for parameters such as pressure, temperature, and fluid flow, the IoT facilitates continuous and detailed monitoring of reservoir conditions. The collected real-time data is then analyzed through advanced analytics, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of reservoir behavior. The implications of IoT integration extend beyond data acquisition, encompassing optimized production strategies, reduced operational costs, and enhanced environmental sustainability.
