SONICSYNCTM
COMMAND+CONTROL PLATFORM
- Two-way real-time acoustic telemetry for activating, monitoring, and controlling downhole equipment
- Robust, low-latency mesh network with node redundancy and proven multi-year reliability
- Fully wireless or short-hop wireline options for seamless communication across barriers
OVERVIEW
The patented SonicSync™ Wireless Command+Control Platform is built on ultra-compact electronics for integration into downhole electronic equipment, including third-party tools, enabling two-way command, control, and status monitoring across short-term and multi-year deployments. Acoustic Data supports bespoke engineering programmes to integrate transmitter and receiver hardware for wireless activation, remote reconfiguration, and receipt of status packets or monitoring data.
At surface, a laptop-operated command tool can be temporarily attached to the production wellhead or drill pipe to transmit acoustic commands downhole, enabling real-time activation and status monitoring without permanent modification of the wellhead, Xmas tree, or flowline. Alternatively, a wireline, slickline, or e-coil intervention modem can be deployed for short-hop wireless communication with equipment located below or across mechanical barriers.
The SonicSync™ platform can be deployed as a standalone communications layer or integrated into bespoke client-specific solutions. For seamless wireless command+control and monitoring of downhole equipment, contact our technical specialists to discuss your requirements.
WIRELESS COMMANDS
- Program Equipment
- Activate Remotely
- Confirm Execution
WIRELESS MONITORING
- Real-Time Data Streaming
- Download Historical Data
- Interrogate & Troubleshoot
INTEGRATIONS
• Activate distributed sensor network for static and flowing gradient surveys
• Download historical data for key events, such as early-time data for a PTA
• 20mm maximum thickness enables deployment in restrictive annular spaces
• Ideal for recording pressure build-ups with minimal wellbore storage effects
• Enables the operator to avoid opening the well too early for flow back
• Eliminates deferred production by allowing the operator to know exactly when stabilisation occurs
• Confirm the execution of the sampling operation via status packets at surface
• Fluid samplers are provided by a leading technology supplier in Europe
