Abstract
A tool for use in well monitoring is described to insert devices for well fluid level control into a wellhead. The tool also permits removal of the devices for well fluid level control from an operating well for servicing. The tool also permits precise positioning of the components utilized to take measurements in the well annulus.
Claims10
A device for controlling fluid levels in a well comprising:
- a compressor;
- a conduit to provide fluid communication between a well annulus and said compressor;
- a pressure transducer in fluid communication with said compressor, said pressure transducer, when used in combination with a valve and the compressor, releases a charge of compressed gas into the well annulus through a gas emission tubing;
- a gas receiving tube to provide fluid communication between the well annulus and a pressure measurement device wherein the gas emission tubing and the gas receiving tube are substantially disposed within a carrier tray;
- said pressure measurement device having means for ascertaining a return signal from the charge of compressed gas, wherein said return signal enables a determination of the well fluid level.
