International oilfield services company Expro has successfully accomplished the world’s first proven wireless transmission of reservoir pressure data to surface, from a recently abandoned subsea appraisal well which incorporated a rock-to-rock cement plug. UK - based oil and gas company Expro has used its cableless telemetry and 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 tool for well abandonment design . The breakthrough will enable the company to develop increasingly effective plug and abandonment strategies , said Expro ’s senior VP David Geddes .
