To improve the reliability of advanced well equipment through the development of published industry standards and recommended practises for the qualification of the relevant completions equipment.
This will be achieved by:
- Development of test qualification procedures and standards for advanced well equipments
- Definition of how to measure sensor system performance
- Sharing of results from prior testing work & lessons learnt
- Setting a standard for vendors in terms of qualifying their technology for an advanced well application to raise the level of requirements
- Gaining confidence in lifetime expectancy of downhole sensors by standard testing
- Reducing the need for oil companies to run their own independent qualification testing
- Assisting vendors to understand oil company requirements
- Providing QA/ QC
