eLynx Launches Intelligent Well Monitoring Device with Satellite Communication

TULSA, Okla.--(Business Wire)--
Tulsa-based eLynx Technologies, the leading provider of web-based monitoring and
field automation services to the oil and gas industry, today announced the
formal launch of WellLynx XI. The new device combines satellite communications
and intelligent input/output technology resulting in a unique, remotely
configurable communications instrument for oil and gas producers.

"We engineered WellLynx XI to be robustly functional," said Ray McDaniel,
manager of sales engineering for eLynx. "With its ability to collect, and the
message structure to deliver 27 data values, WellLynx XI is much more flexible
than the majority of satellite well monitoring devices out there today."
WellLynx XI features a highly sensitive alarm system that notifies users of any
adverse conditions. Discrete or analog threshold changes trigger e-mails to
users and updates to the Web interface within two minutes. "With its
instantaneous alarming capabilities and everpresent communications path via the
Iridium satellite network, WellLynx XI is the most robust and reliable satellite
solution for well monitoring today."

The Iridium constellation of low-earth orbiting (LEO), cross-linked satellites
provides critical voice and data services for areas not served by terrestrial
communication networks. "With worldwide coverage, WellLynx XI offers oil and gas
companies a reliable way to collect data from their most remote well sites,"
said Ryan McDonald, director of IT for eLynx. As a result, users can check
compressor status, tank levels, casing and tubing pressures, flow rates and even
valve positions through a web interface.

WellLynx XI intelligently manipulates data transmittals to help minimize data
charges. Low hardware and data costs, coupled with the suite of online tools
made available with the SCADALynx backend make this a superior product for the
oil and gas industry.

Since 2000, eLynx Technologies has provided real-time data collection,
production reporting, trending, well monitoring and control via the Internet for
the oil and gas industry. The company services more than 300 exploration and
production companies and operates in more than 25 states. Headquartered in
Tulsa, eLynx also has support offices in Denver, Houston, Dallas, and Carthage,
Texas.
