Technology Innovations
The patented SonicGauge™ Wireless Monitoring System is a two-way (duplex) acoustic telemetry system designed for high-frequency downhole data acquisition during DST and Well Testing programs while also being able to provide multi-year life for applications, such as Reservoir and Artificial Lift Monitoring.
Uniquely, the technology has been proven to perform reliably during production, injection, and monitoring phases across the entire well lifecycle. There is no depth limitation, as SonicRepeater stations can boost the acoustic data packets to surface and acquire local data for gradient surveys and multi-zone monitoring. The downhole tools can be mounted on tubing or retrofitted by slickline, digital slickline and e-line.
