UK-based oil and gas company Expro has deployed its cableless telemetry system wireless gauges in the North Sea to carry out the first-ever wireless transmission of reservoir pressure data to surface. As well as offering a greater understanding of the reservoir and more data on its future, the system gives operators a cost-effective option for well abandonment design. The system, which is being tested at two sites off the coast of Scotland, uses an array of sensors that transmit information wirelessly from one point to another.

As well as offering a greater understanding of the reservoir and more data on its future, the system gives operators a cost-effective option for well abandonment design. The breakthrough will enable the company to develop increasingly effective plug and abandonment strategies, said Expro’s Executive VP Alistair Geddes.
