The Use and Application of Permanent Downhole Pressure Gauges in the Balmoral Field and Satellite Structures

Abstract: Downhole gauges installed in Block 16/21 satellite wells have given invaluable real time data during extended well testing (Stirl ing and Blair) and have been extremely useful in gaining an understanding of Balmoral and Glamis well and reservoir behaviour in the early stages of production.The long term rel i abil ity of these systems has proved disappointing, highlighting the need for further eng i neering research and development in this area, particularly in sub-sea electrical connectors. It is hoped that ex… Show more

“…Simultaneously, increased reservoir-characterization sophistication added new requirements for downhole reservoir data. Early in the 1990s, the North Sea became a leader in the use of data from PDGs for reservoir management, as described by Shepherd et al (1991), Unneland and Haugland (1994), and Unneland et al (1998). PDG applications have since become common worldwide [see Chorneyko (2006) for examples].…”

“…However, downhole technology development had to occur before the industry-wide usage began in the 1980's (Shepherd et al 1991;Bezerra et al 1992;Unneland and Haughland 1994). Various case studies (Unneland et al 1998;van Gisbergen and Vandeweijer 2001) point to the ever-increasing popularity today.…”

“…Along with a summary of the technical evolution of permanent downhole gauges over time, the authors published value metrics for permanent downhole pressure gauge installations in terms of increased production and reduced operating costs. Other fields with documented examples of permanent downhole gauge installations and applications include Balmoral (6) , Scapa (7) , Gullfaks (8) , Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, and Hamish (9) . The first downhole gauge was run in Balmoral and Scapa in 1985, in Gullfaks in 1987, and in Rob Roy in 1989.…”
