A system and method for determining the discharge pressure of a gas handler in a well. The system includes an electrical submersible pump connected to a discharge head disposed in the well, a gas handler discharge line configured to connect the discharge head to a sensor, a processor configured to receive data from the sensor and determine the discharge pressure of the gas handler based on the received data, and a display configured to display the discharge pressure of the gas handler. The method includes attaching a discharge head to the gas handler, attaching a gas handler discharge line from the discharge head to a sensor, measuring pressure transferred from the gas handler into the electrical submersible pump, receiving the measurement of the pressure transferred, determining the discharge pressure of the gas handler based on the measurement of the pressure transferred, and displaying the discharge pressure of the gas handler.

ESP gas handler discharge pressure measurement and monitoring

A system and method for deploying and retrieving a welltracker in a well include coupling a Christmas tree to the well, coupling a sensor deployment capsule to the Christmas tree, inserting and storing the welltracker into the cylindrical housing via a removable cap screw, and deploying the welltracker through the Christmas tree and into the well. The system and method further include dissolving a dissolvable weight on the welltracker at a well fluid pressure threshold, retrieving the welltracker to the cylindrical housing, bleeding off trapped pressure in the cylindrical housing from retrieval, via the drain valve, through the pressure transfer line, and controlling pressure in the sensor deployment capsule via the pressure gauge. The sensor deployment capsule includes a cylindrical housing including a removable cap screw, a drain valve coupled to the cylindrical housing and a pressure transfer line, and a pressure gauge coupled to the removable cap screw.

Advanced welltracker deployment capsule for oil and gas wells

A system and method for a probe protector in a well includes a cable disposed within the well; a probe installed on an end of the cable; and a probe protector mounted on the cable conductor. The probe includes at least one lead and a cable conductor disposed on a distal end of each of the at least one lead. The probe protector is removably connected over the cable conductor. The probe protector is removed from the cable conductor prior to insertion of the cable into the well.

A drift robot performs a drifting operation of a wellbore in a subterranean formation. The drift robot includes an elongated body to be deployed into a well conduit in the wellbore, a propulsion system for propelling the elongated body to traverse the well conduit, retractable landings attached to the elongated body for selectively anchoring the elongated body to an internal surface of the well conduit, sensors attached to the elongated body to generate sensor measurements of the well conduit, a smart camera disposed at one end of the elongated body to capture camera images of interior features of the well conduit, and a controller that adjusts the elongated body based at least on the sensor measurements and the camera images.
