The Product
The A-PRO™ Annulus Pressure Management System
A-PRO™ is a highly customisable Annulus Pressure Monitoring & Management System, which facilitates the seamless integration with products like Interwell’s Wellhead Sensors & MSAS™ Surface Annulus Safety Valves. It provides a cost-effective and reliable system for remote and continuous annulus pressure, temperature monitoring and pressure management. A-PRO™ can be integrated into an existing SCADA system or run as a stand alone unit. Operators have implemented A-PRO™ on a number of unmanned production facilities.
Technology
Lack of infrastructure at well sites (such as power, communication and control systems) prevents continuous and efficient monitoring, and control of annulus pressure. Manual surveillance and potential venting of annulus pressure adds cost and involves HSE risks. In addition, reading gauges manually introduces the risk of human error.
A-PRO eliminates all the shortcomings of a manual system. A-PRO™ is a highly customisable system which can be tailored to specific needs and requirements.
The features one can select from include (but are not limited to):
- Electric and/or hydraulic power generation
- Data transfer via existing infrastructure, satellite, LTE or Wi-Fi
- Alarms via e-mail and/or SMS
- Data download at well site using cable or Wi-Fi
- Data logging and reports
- Hydraulic control of Surface Annulus Safety Valves (MSAS™)
