Selection Criteria: Choosing the Right Sensor

Choose PPS25 Electronic Memory Gauge When:

  • You need a versatile, cost-effective solution for routine measurements
  • Pressure ratings up to 20,000 psi are sufficient
  • Standard accuracy (±0.05% FS) meets your requirements
  • Operating temperatures stay below 150°C
  • Budget constraints favor proven electronic sensor technology

  • Surface or wellhead monitoring is the primary application
  • Extended battery life (12 months) is essential for remote locations
  • Weatherproof construction is required for outdoor installations
  • Wireless data retrieval is desired for operational efficiency
  • Lower pressure ranges (≤10,000 psi) are adequate

Choose PPS28 Quartz Memory Gauge When:

  • Maximum accuracy (±0.01% FS) is critical for reservoir studies

Technical Guidance: Deployment Best Practices

Pressure Rating Selection

Matching Gauge to Well Conditions

Select a pressure rating that exceeds maximum expected well pressure by at least 20% to ensure sensor longevity and measurement accuracy. Consider both static pressure and potential pressure surges during well operations or testing procedures.

Temperature Compensation

Ensuring Measurement Accuracy

All our sensors feature automatic temperature compensation to maintain pressure measurement accuracy across their operating temperature range. The PPS28's quartz technology provides superior thermal stability for extreme downhole conditions.

Data Management Strategy

Memory Capacity and Sampling Rates

Balance sampling frequency with deployment duration to optimize memory utilization. Higher sampling rates (useful for transient analysis and well testing) consume memory faster, while slower rates (suitable for long-term surveillance) extend deployment periods without data loss.

Installation and Commissioning

Pre-Deployment Verification

Ensuring Measurement Success
  • Calibration verification — Confirm recent calibration certificates and traceability
  • Battery status — Check charge level and estimate deployment duration
  • Memory configuration — Program sampling rate and start/stop conditions
  • Clock synchronization — Set accurate time for data correlation with surface events
  • Sensor integrity — Inspect for damage and verify seal integrity

Deployment Methods

Wireline vs. Tubing Conveyed Options

Memory gauges can be deployed via wireline (slickline or electric line) for temporary measurements or installed on tubing for long-term monitoring. Wireline deployment offers flexibility for multiple depth settings and repositioning, while tubing-conveyed installations provide continuous surveillance at fixed locations with minimal intervention.

Data Quality and Analysis

Recognizing Quality Data

Indicators of Reliable Measurements
  • Smooth pressure trends without unexplained spikes or discontinuities
  • Temperature readings consistent with wellbore thermal gradient expectations
  • Pressure response matching expected reservoir behavior patterns
  • Minimal noise in high-resolution data acquisitions
  • Logical correlation between pressure and temperature changes

Maintenance and Calibration

Recommended Service Intervals

We recommend annual calibration for electronic sensors (PPS25, PPS31) and 18-month intervals for quartz sensors (PPS28) under normal operating conditions. More frequent calibration may be necessary for sensors exposed to extreme conditions, repeated thermal cycling, or after suspected impact or mechanical damage.
