Overview
Our long-life acoustic Data Loggers can provide power to read multiple gauges at predefined intervals, securely store the received information within the unit, then transmit it acoustically through the water column to the surface on-demand.
They are compatible with Intelligent Well Interface Standardisation (IWIS) and non-IWIS gauge cards from the leading wellbore downhole pressure and temperature gauge manufacturers. Data Loggers are ROV deployable (and retrievable) to a maximum depth of 3,000 m. Using normal gauge reading sample rates they can operate for up to three years. Longer deployments or higher sample rates are easily accommodated using external battery packs. All hardware is supplied in corrosion-resistant super duplex stainless steel canisters for very long deployment periods.
When combined with the feature of ROV portability, the system is the ideal solution for initial well appraisal, where frequent downhole pressure and temperature readings need to be logged over a few weeks. However, the new system is equally suitable for long-term deployments where it may remain installed on a wellhead, logging data for several years without intervention.
Suspended or abandoned well monitoring
High-availability acoustic subsea modems are designed for use with third party systems to facilitate the transfer of wellhead or wellbore data to the surface. Our modems can be designed, tested and supplied as part of a third party’s well monitoring solution, including electromagnetic, and through-casing tube technologies to the wellhead or tree-mounted modem.
