Fluid monitoring system and methods of use
A fluid monitoring system for monitoring a volume of a fluid source. The system includes a flow sensor coupled to a fluid line in hydraulic communication with the fluid source. The system includes a fluid monitor having a unit counter configured to: receive a flow signal from the flow sensor; and transmit a unit signal to a processor based on the flow signal and an adjustable unit value. The processor configured to determine a remaining volume value of the fluid source based on a first volume value and the unit signal. The monitor configured to calibrate the remaining volume value through adjustment of the unit value via a first set of binary rotary switches and adjustment of the first volume value via a second set of binary rotary switches. The system further includes a control panel having a plurality of flow monitors in communication with a plurality of flow sensors.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EARLY KICK DETECTION AND LOSS OF DRILLING MUD IN OILWELL DRILLING OPERATIONS
The flow of well mud being pumped by a drilling rig pump into a wellbore is sensed by monitoring at least one signal from at least one sensor of drilling mud, determining a total well drilling pump mud output rate, and determining an apparent annular mud rate based on the at least one signal and the total pump drilling rate.
GAS METER ARCHITECTURE
Devices, methods, and systems for operating gas meters are described herein. The systems may include a gas meter connectable to a gas line, where the gas meter may have a metrology unit in communication with a flow of gas through the gas line and an index unit in communication with and releasably coupled to the metrology unit. The metrology unit may be configured to generate flow rate data of the flow through the gas line based on outputs from a flow rate sensor, generate gas temperature data based on outputs from a temperature sensor, compensate the flow rate data based on the temperature data, generate an average flow rate, and output the average flow rate data to the index unit. The index unit may generate gas volume data based on flow rate data received from the metrology unit.
