Objectives

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
