Customer challenges
- An offshore Eastern Med operator aimed to gather important reservoir data from two wells over 18 months before starting subsea operations. They also measured tidal data to help with subsurface modeling. The gas field, located offshore Israel, is a key energy asset
- During development, Expro’s CaTS™ wireless gauges were used to monitor reservoir behaviour and optimize production. This case study highlights the successful use of Expro’s CaTS™ system, showing the benefits of long-term monitoring and collecting location-specific tidal data
Expro Excellence
- Long-Term Monitoring of Reservoirs:
- Expro installed a dual downhole system to measure wellbore pressure gradients and monitor the swap-out of completion fluids with reservoir fluids
- The gauges were pre-programmed for 18+ months of continuous monitoring, covering any drilling or well testing activities
- The duplex capability of the CaTS™ system provided immediate data capture post-installation
Value to client
- Reservoir Monitoring: Tracked pressure, temperature, and fluid behaviour for both wells over 18+ months
- Proactive Reservoir Management: Allowed proactive management of reservoir conditions before the subsea tieback and PDHG activation
- Data Modelling and Optimization: Helped subsurface teams optimize reservoir performance
- Enhanced Reservoir Understanding: Provided insights into reservoir dynamics and production potential over 18+ months insights into reservoir dynamics and production potential over 18+ months
