Product Overview
Overview
Tubel have developed a number of sensor solutions for Production and Completions evaluation which can be deployed at surface as well as downhole. Some of the key products include:
- Short hop wireless Pressure and Temperature guages
- Oil, water identification module
- Real-time downhole wireless P/T gauges which can be deployed both inline and through tubing
- Wireless high shock frac gauges for in line casing deployment
- All electric downhole wireless inflow control system
- Downhole and wireless power supply
Most of the sensors can be deployed in memory, wireless (real-time) or via cable (real-time).
In the wireless configuration the gauges sample at a 1 second interval which is then pushed to surface via an acoustic wave generated through the pipe itself.
Business Model
The products are sold as hardware with available installation, data collection and data processing services provided.
Technology Innovations
The key technology which differentiates the Tubel offering is the expertise and experience in developing and deploying low-power, wireless, acoustic data transfer and processing. This is coupled with a focus on reliability which allows their customers to deploy the downhole sensors permanently and in high profile wells where intervention is prohibitive.
Applications
There are a wide range of applications for Tubel's downhole gauge systems, including as a key enabling technology for:
- Production evaluation and optimization
- Intelligent completions systems (smart wells)
- Frac evaluation
- Reservoir optimization
- Injection monitoring
- P&A
The devices can and have been deployed in both onshore and offshore applications. For extended reach applications, there is an available wireless repeater module available.
