The first commercial application of the DataTrak suite
The Smart Drop Off (SDO) is a unique commercially proven new process for measuring reservoir pressures during well test operations. Well operators using SDO services derive two primary benefits they don't get from other service companies:
- High quality reservoir pressure data in real time;
- Complete information driven control of the well testing process.
The SDO provides a pressure data feedback loop during well testing that ensures the effectiveness of tests, that is, eliminates the risk of tests being useless due to non-optimal durations.
Specifications

- Top-quality pressure data, 0.024% of full scale accuracy and 0.0003% resolution
- Multiple downhole and surface, pressures and temperatures measured simultaneously
- Data transferred from field unit via satellite
- Data available through the website anytime in any common format such as plain text, PDF etc.
- Sample rate can be changed at any time during testing, with samples available as often as every 3 seconds
- Gauges can be placed anywhere in the well, including mid-point perforation (subject to well completion)
- Unlimited data and unmanned field equipment used
- 316L or 825 inconel or stainless steel wireline with 4000+ metres of depth capacity
- 34.5MPa (5000 psi) well head pressure control equipment is standard; can accommodate higher pressures with advanced notification
Benefits

- Save well testing money by always performing a perfect test
- Downhole pressure data is available on demand any time during testing
- Data can be instantly loaded into PTA software during testing to produce semi-log and log-log plots for analysis
- Empowers the engineer to optimize test flow rates, flow period lengths and build-up timing
- Spot problems during testing, instead of after its completion
- No personnel required at the well site during testing
