A major North Sea operator has used Baker Hughes electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems and permanent downhole gauges for more than 10 years. The equipment had a finite life cycle and began to produce electrical interference between the ESP and the downhole gauge. The instrumentation was also producing bad data that caused the ESPs to be tripped.

interference between ESP and downhole gauge Reduced rig time with better completion design Increased reliability of motor temperature sensor Eliminated need for additional downhole cabling and equipment to monitor ESP system Measured additional and redundant parameters Well background and challenges Obsolete equipment Electrical interference between the ESP and the downhole gauge ESP trips because of bad data Baker Hughes solution and results SureSENS 125 permanent downhole monitoring system SureFlo 298 flowmeter system WellLIFT E ESP monitoring system Reduced risks of ESP downtime Old equipment A major North Sea operator has used Baker Hughes electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems and permanent downhole gauges for more than 10 years. The systems were congured across a venturi owmeter and used on a project with more than 20 wells. The downhole gauge instrumentation collected critical pressure and temperature data and used the data to calculate accurate and reliable ow rates. The downhole gauges also protected the ESP systems from failures. They warned the the operators when an ESP was either overheating or operating outside of its design parameters. As anticipated, the equipment had a nite life cycle and began to produce electrical interference between the ESP and the downhole gauge. The instrumentation was also producing bad data that caused the ESPs to be tripped. New technology In 2008, Baker Hughes identied the biggest problem was the age of the system and equipment. Upgrading the technology would address the equipment obsolescence and eliminate the other problems that were occurring. After discussions about new Baker Hughes technologies, the operator selected a downhole instrumentation technology that would also be part of the design of the upper completion.

The operator selected the following Baker Hughes technologies: SureSENS
125 downhole gauges to provide accurate pressure
and temperature data for the life of the project SureFlo
298 flowmeter system to give real-time production
data without affecting recovery potential WellLIFT E
ESP monitoring system to supply downhole, surface
and diagnostic parameters, enhance system management, and prolong the equipment life Both the operator and Baker Hughes wanted to make sure the proposed new technology would meet the future requirements for the surface equipment. To avoid the problems associated with integration into the nearly full, existing system, a new, separate system was implemented. The new system used the same Baker Hughes software and allowed the data from the SureSENS 125 gauge and WellLIFT ESP monitoring system to be collected in a single place before being handed off to the clients control and database systems. Using the new technologies, the customer has worked over a number of wells and conrmed a signicant increase in overall system reliability.
