Description
Summary:Deep, hot wells challenge the most sophisticated downhole instrumentation to provide accurate, reliable answers. In India's offshore Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, success was achieved with the use of a new quartz gauge. Dwarfed by its predecessor, the Signature quartz gauge, uses less power and records more data at higher pressures and temperatures.
