Surface & Downhole Pressure Data Measurement

NOSSB in association with PetraCat provides solutions for the capture of surface & downhole pressure transient test. Petracat provides quartz resonant pressure gauges (downhole / surface), methods to capture the rate or injection data and an analysis of the acquired pressure data set. Petracat also provide pressure data processing via our engineering services division on data collected from the gauges we rent or historically pressure data from other sources.


Testing Applications:

Determining essential properties and assessing condition from Surface measurements. Primary applications
  • Mini-Frac or DFIT or MFO (unconventional).
  • Pre-frac, injection fall-off in low permeability reservoir.
  • TPressure Build-up (PBU) / Drawdown (conventional).
  • Injection Fall-off (IFO) / Step Rate / Communication Monitoring.
  • Running Downhole Gauges on work/production string or below a plug.
  • Converting historically acquired Surface or DH Pressure to Mid-Completion depth.


Hardware Rentals:
  • Downhole Pressure Gauge
  • Surface Pressure Gauge
  • Wireless System for interference and communications monitoring
  • Turbine Meter Flow / Volume Capture Options
Data Processing & Analysis
Conversion of WHP to BHP, and analysis of supplied Surface or DH Gauge pressure data

Historical Data Analysis:
Data processing and analysis of historically acquired SCADA or Permanent Downhole gauge systems.
