Strainer Nipple Data Tool

The Strainer Nipple Data Tool (SNDT) is a new design of downhole memory gauge that attaches to the bottom of an oil well pump, or is landed in a cased hole on a collar stop or other accessory. It records up to three years of highly accurate pressure and temperature data, with enough detail to show the shape of the individual pump strokes. Unlike traditional gauge surveys or surface pressure surveys, the SNDT is so reliable and easy to run, it can be operated by the oil company.

While the SNDT is down hole and recording continuously, a variety of pressure transient testing can be initiated by simply shutting in the well or offsetting wells.


Applications

  • Complete producing bottom-hole pressure histories
  • Pressure build-up data for regulatory requirement
  • Pressure response for secondary recovery schemes
  • Pressure data for interference or communication testing
  • Pressure data for single- or multi-rate testing
  • Data to evaluate for skin damage

  • Features

  • Designed for artificial lift systems
  • State-of-the-art peizoresistive technology
  • Temperature rated to 150°C
  • Pressure rated to 4,000 psi or other on request
  • 0.05% full-scale accuracy
  • Storage capacity of one million data sets
  • Up to 3-year run life
  • Robust mechanical design
