Permanent Downhole Gauge Connector
February 16, 2011
ITT Interconnect Solutions' Permanent Downhole Gaugeconnector is designed to operate at the maximum limits of metal clad cables.The connector can withstand pressure to 10,000 psi and operating temperaturesup to 200C, making it useful for harsh environment applications such asdrilling and mining. ITT's scalable Permanent Downhole Gauge connector featuresa replaceable metal-to-metal, connector-to-cable seal that is bothfield-attachable and verifiable on-site before operational deployment into awell. The advanced design also includes an elastomer back-up seal. In addition,Permanent Downhole Gauge connectors are re-usable, allowing gauges to bere-used on future drilling projects. Applications include deep-set gauges tomonitor ESP intake and discharge pressures in order to maintain optimum ESPefficiency; deep-set gauges to detect water, steam or CO2 breakthrough anddeep-set gauges to monitor the effect of hydraulic fracturing in real time.
