The SonicGauge™
Wireless acoustic telemetry monitoring system
Page last modified
April 11 2024
Next-generation acoustic telemetry system that measures wellbore pressure and temperature in real-time, a mandatory requirement for good reservoir management in oil & gas wells. Our wireless downhole gauge systems are ideal for providing real-time downhole data during drill stem testing and production well testing.
Pros & Limitations
1
100+ years of accumulated downhole monitoring time globally (115+ installations)
1
Industry leading acoustic technology for short and long-term reservoir monitoring
1
Short and long-term monitoring of wells is routinely carried out to provide data to improve our understanding of the reservoir
1
The SonicGauge™ Plug Verification System (SG-PVS) can be deployed in conjunction with mechanical plugs or metal barriers to monitor both the initial pressure test and provide ongoing pressure measurement to confirm well isolation for up to 8 years
1
Wireless downhole data transfer offers a safe, simple and reliable alternative to both cabled PDHMS and sporadic memory gauge surveys
1
The technology can deliver long-term real-time pressure and temperature data as well as on-board data storage memory
1
Reduces well intervention and wellsite exposure
1
The technology can deliver long-term real-time pressure and temperature data
1
Onboard Data storage capability (Downloaded at recovery) Pre-installation Programmable Scheduling
0
Not as effective as EM technologies in cemented environments
0
At this time only suitable for Land and Platform Applications, no subsea offering to date
