Abstract
A lid for use with a downhole tool configured to house a beacon. The lid has an exterior and interior surface. A board is attached to the interior surface of the lid and electronic hardware is positioned between the board and the interior surface of the lid. The electronic hardware includes a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is installed within the lid so that it is communicable with the exterior surface of the lid. When the downhole tool is positioned within an underground borehole, the pressure sensor measures the fluid pressure of any fluid surrounding the downhole tool. Measurements taken by the pressure sensor are transmitted to the beacon housed within the downhole tool. The beacon subsequently transmits such measurements to a tracker located at the ground surface.
