Abstract

A monitoring well installation comprising metallic casing () running down from the surface into a borehole and a sealing material plug () provided downhole for blocking the interior of the casing and sealing the borehole against the egress of fluid from a zone below the plug. There is an axial spacing (A) between adjacent casing portions () in the region of the plug () such that there is an uncased length of borehole in which the material of the plug seals against the formation. There is provided a sensing tool () located below the plug () for sensing at least one parameter below the plug () and a communication arrangement () for use in transmitting data from the sensing tool () towards the surface. The communication arrangement comprises across plug communication apparatus () for facilitating transmission of signals carrying data across the plug () towards the surface.
