SONICSYNCTM

COMMAND+CONTROL PLATFORM

  • Wireless telemetry network for remote activation and control of downhole equipment
  • Can be used to trigger equipment from surface, such as fluid samplers or a DHSIT during DST and well testing operations
  • Interface with the SonicGauge™ to change data acquisition schedules and poll historical downhole data saved to onboard memory

OVERVIEW


The patented SonicSync™ Command+Control Platform is the state-of-the-art subsurface acoustic telemetry system that uses two-way (duplex) communication to interface with downhole equipment. At surface, a command tool driven by a laptop interface is temporarily attached to a production wellhead or drill pipe to send acoustic commands downhole to activate, control or check the status and diagnostics of downhole equipment. The technology can provide a theoretically unlimited transmission distance using SonicRepeater stations deployed along the tubing and has a proven downhole life of up to eight years for semi-permanent installations.



SONICGAUGE INTEGRATION

  • Change data rate schedule to capture events, such as a pressure build-up (PBU)
  • Poll the onboard memory for historical data download, such as early-time data
  • Activate SonicRepeater onboard sensors for gradient surveys
  • Optimise power output for long-term battery efficiency
  • Optimise acoustic output and noise filters post-installation
