Robust real-time pressure and temperature sensor system, that eliminates the need
for gate valves and instrument flanges. The system is designed to maintain well integ-
rity even upon impact or collision.
Challenge Features
Wells with planned or unplanned sustained annulus pres- • Wired and wireless versions
sure pose a considerable risk to personnel and facilities.
• Based on API 6A
Continuous monitoring of this pressure is critical for safe
operations. Conventional monitoring systems often con- • Atex certified for Zone 0

• Dual independent barriers
Gate valves provide only a single barrier. Impact or colli-

can impair pressure gauge operation. Regulatory and/or • Short and lightweight
