With catch-phrases like "carbon footprint" and "green initiatives" gaining in popularity and importance, the critical task of finding and supplying energy for future use in the United States has become much more than drilling a hole in the ground and waiting for the oil or natural gas to rush to the surface – and, with that in mind, Ferguson Beauregard continues to leverage its long history of designing and manufacturing all of its product lines to contribute to the "sustainability" of the environment.

Realizing that it is impossible for an exploration company to manually monitor all its sites at once, Ferguson Beauregard has made pressure and temperature monitoring of a gas collection or distribution operation as easy as logging on to a computer.

Ferguson Beauregard's iNodes™ WPM is a versatile wireless device that accurately captures, logs and transmits data at the wellhead, compressor, flare stack or any other remote location in an effort to ensure optimum recovery operations and regulatory compliance.

Recently, Ferguson Beauregard's industry knowledge and expertise came in handy when the company teamed with M2M Data Corporation, Denver, CO, to provide automated remote monitoring and alarm notification of critical gas-compression operation parameters for M2M's client, Exterran Corporation, at its operations base located in Tuscaloosa, AL. Exterran, Houston, TX, is a new company that has several thousand gas compressors in service throughout the United States, making it a major supplier of compression services to the gas production and transmission industry.

Natural-gas recovery is an inexact science with every well's unique conditions and setup contributing to its ultimate efficiency and productivity.

Recognizing this, Ferguson Beauregard has engaged in an effort to make the process of gas recovery more exact, resulting in a combination of the best aspects of its renowned plunger-lift and chamber-lift technologies that has led to the creation of Plunger-Enhanced Chamber Lift (PECL™).
