SONICSYNCTM

COMMAND+CONTROL PLATFORM

  • Wireless telemetry network for remote activation and control of downhole equipment
  • Can be used to trigger equipment from surface, such as fluid samplers or a DHSIT during DST and well testing operations
  • Interface with the SonicGauge™ to change data acquisition schedules and poll historical downhole data saved to onboard memory

OVERVIEW


The patent-pending SonicSync™ Command+Control Platform is a subsurface acoustic telemetry system that uses two-way (duplex) communication to interface with downhole equipment. At surface, a command tool driven by a laptop interface is temporarily attached to a production wellhead or drill pipe to send acoustic commands downhole to activate, control or check the status and diagnostics of downhole equipment. Depending on the depth, SonicRepeater stations are deployed along the tubing to boost the range of the system—effectively providing an unlimited transmission distance.
