Real-time well surveillance data is critical to make decisions about optimizing production, reducing risks, and ultimately maximizing returns. But, historically obtaining that data has been a challenge, due to the complexity of running and connecting lines long distances down hole and because of long-term reliability concerns in extreme environments. Operators are often operating blindly in terms of what is going on down hole, especially in the pay zone.

Our SureCONNECT™ downhole intelligent wet-mate system was developed to solve this ongoing issue.

The SureCONNECT system utilizes a downhole wet-mate connector that houses multiple channels and comes together to connect the upper and lower completions. For the first time, you can achieve fiber-optic, real-time distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) monitoring across your entire wellbore.

The system is also compatible with other downhole technologies used to shut off zones and optimize production, creating standardization across intelligent completion designs. The data helps you better understand the performance of natural fractures, complimenting existing conventional well surveillance data to drive better placement decisions in future field developments. The SureCONNECT system also eliminates the need to remove an operational lower completion during workover operations, significantly decreasing rig time, health, safety and environmental (HSE) risks, and equipment costs.
