If you are like Peak's Customers, you require a variety of Gauge Hangers - from simple, effective Plug Hangers that carry downhole gauges for well monitoring, to Gauge Hangers for larger tubing or more complex well geometries.
Peak offers its Customers a choice best fitting the application and well structure. We offer a range of slickline-set gauge hangers which can be used to suspend data acquisition devices for monitoring characteristics in flowing wells, or as an anchor for instruments that require suspension in the wellbore. Due to the flexibility of the SIM System, these devices can be suspended anywhere in the well.
Peak’s Gauge Hangers offer the advantage of having a robust design and build, ideal for challenging downhole environments and in high flow rate wells, which means they can be confidently placed close to perforating zones.
Peak's gauge hangers have been put to the test - our Large Bore Gauge Hanger and SIM Running Tool were used to collect valuable data with minimal pressure loss in six flowing wells for a National Oil Company in Malaysia. Read on to find out more:
Technical Challenge:
Collection of data with minimal pressure loss in flowing wells
Peak Solution:
5 ½” Large Bore Gauge Hanger and SIM Running Tool
Customer:
National Oil Company, Offshore Malaysia
Well Type:
5 ½” oil producer (74deg deviation, 250-330deg F)
The Challenge:
A programmed platform was scheduled, providing an ideal opportunity to conduct valuable data acquisition operations. Six wells across the field were strategically selected for pressure transient analysis.
Considerations:
The campaign offered some difficult working conditions; logistically and operationally. The following key requirements and concerns were highlighted by the Customer:
- Pinpoint data acquisition
- Flow through capability
- Restricted rig-up height
- Heightened safety concerns with use of explosives and nitrogen
- Temperature limits on two of the six wells
- POB capacity
Summary:
- Six 5 ½” Large Bore Gauge Hangers set on slickline at varying depths
- Three gauges were connected to each Gauge Hanger
- All Gauge Hangers successfully set for approximately four weeks duration
- All Gauge Hangers successfully recovered on standard GS
- All data recovered from Gauges
Value to Customer:
- Valuable data recovered for pressure transient analysis
- Zero NPT
- Zero harm to personnel
- Significant cost savings
