1. INTRODUCTION

Geokon’s 4500HT Series High Temperature Piezometers and Pressure Transducers are

designed for monitoring downhole pressures and temperatures in oil recovery systems

and geothermal applications.

These sensors are capable of operation under extreme conditions and at temperatures

up to 250°C. In thermal recovery applications (steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD)

or cyclic steam stimulation (CSS)), they can provide accurate, real-time, continuous

monitoring of pressures in production and injection wells thereby optimizing the recovery

rate and reducing the costs of the steam injection process. In geothermal applications,

they offer a means for in situ and continuous monitoring of pressures and temperatures

over extended periods of time.

2. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The sensor utilizes a sensitive stainless steel diaphragm to which a vibrating wire

element is connected. See Figure 2. In use, changing pressures on the diaphragm

cause it to deflect, and this deflection is measured as a change in tension and frequency

of vibration of the vibrating wire element. The square of the vibration frequency is

directly proportional to the pressure applied to the diaphragm. Two coils, one with a

magnet, another with a pole piece, are located close to the wire. In use, a pulse of

varying frequency (swept frequency) is applied to the coils and this causes the wire to

vibrate primarily at its resonant frequency. When excitation ends the wire continues to

vibrate and a sinusoidal AC electrical signal, at the resonant frequency, is induced in the

coils and transmitted to the readout box where it is conditioned and displayed.

To prevent damage to the sensitive diaphragm a filter is used to keep out solid particles.

. Standard filters are 50 micron stainless steel; high air entry value tips are available on

request.

All exposed components are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel and, if proper

installation techniques are used, the device should have an unlimited life. In salt water it

may be necessary to use special materials for the diaphragm and housing.

Portable readout units are available to provide the excitation, signal conditioning and

readout of the instrument. Datalogging systems are also available for remote

unattended data collection of multiple sensors. Contact Geokon for additional

information.

Calibration data are supplied with each piezometer for conversion of gage readings to

engineering units and for temperature corrections see Section 5.

3 INSTALLATION

3.1 Preliminary Tests

Upon receipt of the piezometer the zero reading should be checked and noted (see

Sections 3.1 to 3.3 for readout instructions). A Model 4700 VW Temperature Sensor is

included inside the body of the sensor for the measurement of temperature (see Section

5 for instructions).

Calibration data are supplied with each gage and zero readings at six different

temperatures and barometric pressure, is included. Zero readings at the site should

coincide with the calibration zero readings within +/- 50 digits after barometric and

temperature corrections are made. The factory elevation is +580 ft. Before March 21,

1995 factory barometric pressure readings were corrected to sea level; readings after

this date represent absolute pressure. (Barometric pressure changes with elevation at a

rate of



½ psi per 1,000 ft.) See Section 5 for sample calibration sheets.

3.2 Cables

The 4500HT Series are delivered with either mineral insulated cables (4 solid, 22 gage

copper conductors in magnesium oxide inside a 316 stainless steel tube), or with Teflon®

insulated cables inside stainless steel tubing with couplings or Teflon insulated

conductors in a continuous stainless steel tube. The Tubing is delivered in coils and can

be terminated with a connector, a transition to a regular instrumentation cable, or other

as determined by the customer.

Cable lengths of several kilometers are possible and the frequency output signal is not

affected by changing cable resistances (caused by splicing, changes of length, terminal

contact resistances, etc.), nor by penetration of moisture into the electronic circuitry.

These sensors are designed for static measurements only and at least one second is

required to excite and read the sensor.

3.3 Installation in Boreholes

Before installing make sure both pressure and temperature sensors are working and

record initial readings with a portable readout box (GK-403 or GK 404).

Push the sensor into the borehole by whatever means are chosen. This may include

attachment to grout pipes, special installation rods or other apparatuses being

inserted into the borehole at the same time.

4 TAKING READINGS

The 4500HT is usually connected to a datalogger. But for initial set up it is often

convenient to use a portable readout box. In the case of dataloggers the pluck voltage

setting to use is 12Volts..

4.1 Wiring Diagram

For the 4500HT pressure transducer the red and black leads are connected to the

pressure transducer and the green and white leads are connected to the vibrating wire

temperature sensor.

4.2 Operation of the GK-403 Readout Box

The GK-403 can store gage readings and also apply calibration factors to convert

readings to engineering units. Special GK 403 units can be provided that have a 12Volt

pluck. Consult the GK-403 Instruction Manual for additional information on Mode "G" of

the Readout. The following instructions will explain taking gage measurements using

Modes "B" and "F"

Connect the Readout using the flying leads, the red and black clips are for taking both

the pressure reading, and the temperature reading. [The white and green leads of the

flying leads are not used].

1. Turn the display selector to position "B" (or "F"). Readout is in digits
