Direct Leak Metering

Direct leak metering enables accurate measurements of gas, liquid and combined leaks in downhole well barrier elements.

The potential consequence of a leak is proportional to the leak rate. Regulations and company specific criteria define maximum allowable leak rates.

Applications

• Tubing and casing leaks
• Leaks in plug or packer elements
• Leaks in downhole safety valve
• Leaks in gas lift or unloading valves
• Leaks in X-mas tree valves
• Leaks in ESD valve
• Leaks in surface valves / systems

Deliverables

• Fully documented leak rate measurements
• Fully documented leak rate conditions
• Fluid density, pressure, temperature and volum
• In-house developed software with advanced signal conditioning and interpretation capabilities

Benefits

• No intervention required
• Only a partial bleeddown required
• Direct measurement
• High accuracy
