When it comes to operational integrity, there is no compromise: Sustained annulus pressure is one of the major challenges affecting well integrity management.
Continuous, real-time remote monitoring of annulus pressure and temperature and the ability to remotely perform a controlled vent of annulus pressure buildup helps operators mitigate the situation before it could become critical, enabling faster reaction and reducing exposure of people to hazardous areas and related travel to the site. Maintaining a specific annulus pressure through remote monitoring and control is highly desirable in certain applications, such as optimization of ESP artificial lift.
