Expro Excellence
Wireless Well Solutions
Extreme service Permanent Downhole Monitoring solution for a HP-HT gas condensate asset
Customer challenges
  • Life of Well Real-Time downhole data was required from three planned infill wells to support production optimization and reservoir management
  • Due to extreme harsh service the customer did not consider PDHG technology to be reliable enough for inclusion in previous completion designs
  • Customer engaged suppliers to evaluate available technologies which would provide a best in class PDHG system with the technical specification capability to meet the monitoring requirements for the wells
Expro Excellence
  • Expro collaborated with its technology partners and worked closely with the client to project manage and execute a “best in class” PDHG system installation
  • Expro’s Extreme Service PDHG solution featured two 20K psi / 225°C downhole gauges mounted on two Inconel 718 gauge carriers
  • The two gauges deployed on a single TEC cable at set positions on the wells upper completion to enable reservoir management and production optimization
  • The Expro PDHG system interfaced well with the various other completion component technology service providers ensuring a seamless installation
  • Post-installation data from the Expro PDHG systems is designed for direct hand-off to the client well management control and monitoring systems
Value to client
  • Data used for:
  • Reservoir management o Reservoir model validation
  • Improved forecasting
  • Reducing uncertainty in reservoir connectivity
  • Pore pressure prediction for in-fill well drilling and well abandonment production optimization
  • Calibration of well lift curves
  • Timely detection of well behaviour changes such as hydrates, scale, condensate banking and water breakthrough o Reduction in HP-HT PLT spend Completion Integrity 
  • Detection of compaction caused by shale storm event or sand failure 
  • TRSSSV integrity confirmation and control line pressure managemen
