IPT Global’s SureTec PressureTesting solution is, the leading software for digital pressure testing and integrity assurance throughout the well’s lifecycle. From pre-deployment to P&A, PressureTesting enables procedural compliance with easy-to-use modules for designing, planning, testing, and reporting to drive higher levels of operational performance, assurance, and safety. PressureTesting is the only tool on the market where all relevant workflows are part of one seamless application to ensure the highest levels of performance, transparency, and compliance.
Designing
SureTec PressureTesting TestPlanner and WellSchematic modules provides interactive schematic builders to properly depict the design and layout of the blowout preventer (BOP), production trees, manifold, and wellbore. Once the schematics are built, test plans are made to comply with required acceptance criteria and process standards.
Planning
The SureTec PressureTesting solution can be utilized for all aspects of pressure testing, including integrity- critical equipment and well barrier elements. Examples of testing include: BOP testing, casing tests, well barrier elements, and completions, production, intervention, and plug and abandon tests.
Planning tests accurately without the proper tools can result in errors and omissions unless time-consuming checks and reviews are performed. Even after review, many plans often change somewhat at testing time, which makes assuring all components are tested properly very difficult. Through its TestEngine and TestPlanner modules, PressureTesting offers its provides an exclusive dynamic coverage capability and pressure path visualizations that ensure all required components are tested to the proper pressure and configuration. This coverage capability allows the user to easily assign which sides of valves and which components are to be tested to certain pressures and confirms that all will be tested properly prior to pressure testing. Dynamic coverage tracking allows test plans to be modified at test time and automatically communicates coverage status and alerts. This further ensures all required components and barriers are properly validated even when test plans must adapt to changing conditions.
For further assurance, PressureTesting’s DigitalApprovals module works in conjunction with TestEngine and TestPlanner, providing cloud-based collaboration, version control, review and approval, and fully auditable records of activity. This eliminates the need to email spreadsheets and other documentation back and forth, ensuring streamlined communications.
Testing and Analysis
The SureTec PressureTesting solution validates the integrity of critical well control equipment and well barrier elements through multi-dimensional layered algorithms. These algorithms provide objective pass/fail test results
Decline Analysis is the industry standard test validation method that was originally derived from circular chart recorders (CCRs). Basic digital alternatives to the CCRs utilize decline analysis and often tout it as being predictive, based on simple curve extrapolation. IPT Global recognized this as a major assurance opportunity and sought to develop algorithms that provide higher assurance and efficiency to test validation.
IPT Global leads the industry in advanced analytics and has developed additional algorithms to validate tests, based on an extensive test database. IPT Global’s proprietary algorithms allow us to push past industry standards for more assurance. These additional analyses add extra layers of validation, which improves accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, our algorithms offers critical time savings with each test potentially passing in as fast as seven minutes. From 2015 to 2022, TCLD has saved our customers over 11,000 hours of rig time. For increased assurance, IPT Global’s Trend Analysis can be used with any testing criteria to confirm the pressure ROC is continuously improving. SureTec PressureTesting can also simultaneously test casing with the BOP for additional time savings.
IPT Global’s testing algorithms provide the highest levels of efficiency and assurance to ensure well integrity. Our Inflow Testing criteria offers unmatched assurance by removing subjectivity in test interpretation. IPT Global also has developed the ability to execute up to four tests simultaneously. This capability is critical for high volume testing operations, such as during completions.
Reporting
The PressureTesting modules Compliance Reporting and Performance Reporting generates test reports with all relevant information to the operation. Another PressureTesting exclusive requires any failed test attempts be fully documented for full transparency and to avoid unnecessary regulatory non-conformance. All reports are stored in the Cloud for easy access to relevant personnel. With comprehensive yet clear test results, these reports are essential in improving communications during operations and handover, as well as useful for regulatory bodies and any internal or external audits.
