3.1 Overview
Pioneer Petrotech Service (PPS) has designed and developed downhole electronic memory pressure
gauges since 2001. A series of Silicon-Sapphire memory gauge products (PPS25) have been
developed for critical well testing in hostile well conditions.

The PPS25 pressure gauge consists of a Silicon-Sapphire pressure transducer and our advanced
electronic circuit and mechanical design. The High sensitivity and stability transducer is good for
high accuracy pressure measurement with high resolution, low drift and perfect long-term stability.

3.2 PPS25 Gauge

The PPS25 (125C/150C/177C) memory gauge is integrated with a Silicon-Sapphire pressure
transducer and PPS SMT electronics circuit. It is a good choose for applications where high data
quality is required in normal high temperature environment.

3.3 PPS25-XM Gauge

The PPS25-XM (150C/177C) electronic memory gauge is integrated with a Silicon-Sapphire
pressure transducer, PPS leading-edge high temperature electronics and metal-to-metal seal
technology. It is suitable for extreme high temperature and hostile environment.

4.1 Working Mode of PPS25 Gauges

In standard memory mode, there are three operating modes of the gauge can be in: Sampling Mode,
Stand-by Mode, and Communication Mode.
Sampling Mode
The gauge is in Sampling Mode when a battery is connected to the gauge without the interface
box and cable attached to it. Under normal operating conditions the gauge is programmed and
then transported to the wellsite.

Prior to running the gauge in the well, the battery pack is connected to the electronics and the
gauge carries out the program in accordance with the instructions pre-stored in the memory.

Stand-by Mode
The gauge is in Stand-by Mode when the gauge is not sampling (i.e. in between the samples).
PPS gauges are designed to switch to Stand-by Mode automatically between samples.

Communication Mode
The gauge is in Communication Mode when the interface box and cable are connected to the
gauge and the computer. Communication Mode is used to program the gauge, download data
from the gauge, and perform other related operations through the software.
4.2 Materials

4.6 Installing Battery Pack

Pioneer Petrotech Services Inc.

[email protected]
1-888-PP-GAUGE (774-2843)
www.pioneerps.com

All battery packs are supplied by PPS in various configurations for different temperature
requirements. Typical battery packs are with maximum working temperatures of 85C150C
165C and 180C respectively.
Please see Appendix C: Battery Packs for details.

To install a battery pack:

(1) Remove the battery housing from the gauge.

(2) Connect the battery pack to the gauge. The battery pack has only one way of alignment with
the gauge connector so as to minimize potential damage. Align the lug on the battery pack
with the slot on the gauge connector.
You may consider installing batteries in both gauges (one set) at the
same time, as you need to try and to initiate both gauges at once (this
process will avoid the process of synchronizing the files when they are
retrieved from the tools), and then write down the date and time the
batteries were plugged to the gauges into the Gauges Control Sheet
(PPS25.xls).

(3) Watch the LED on the battery pack after the connection is made. The LED will flash 16 times
indicating that the gauge has been initialized to start working (Fig. 9)

(4) Document all information for each well in Gauge Control Sheet (PPS25.xls). The exact date
and time when the batteries were connected to each gauge must be documented.

Fig. 9

It may take a few seconds (1-3 seconds) for the LED on the battery
pack to start flashing after the battery pack is inserted into the gauge.

4.8 Important Application Notes

If a gauge is powered by a 180C battery pack and the ambient temperature is

lower than 20C, the battery pack shall NOT stay at low temperature. Get the
gauge to downhole ASAP.
If there is vibration and/or shock during downhole operations, centralizers
and/or shock absorbers are recommended to use to protect the gauges.
For high gas concentrations (>10%) of CO2 or H2S applications, bombwell
carriers are recommended to use to protect the gauges. If required to place the
gauges into the gauge carrier (bombwell) using the carrier springs bellow and
above the gauges, torque the gauge carrier connections at 90 ft-Ibs (122 Nm).
