Breakthrough In ESP Monitoring: ESP Mini 125

The ESP Mini 125 is the world's smallest downhole ESP gauge. It enables economic monitoring while providing industry-leading data quality.

A Massive, Micro-Sized Innovation

We have a developing ESP monitoring product line full of innovative products designed for various applications. With over 12 years of real-time downhole monitoring experience, and well over 13,000 downhole gauge installs under our belt, our team has leveraged their experience to develop best-in-class ESP monitoring solutions.

We have utilized our proven technology and combined technical experience to develop a line of products that will cover all aspects of the global ESP market. In addition to equipment that is commonly in use today, we have developed never before seen ESP solutions that we believe will change the ESP gauge landscape.

One such innovation is the development of a micro-sized gauge which introduces best-in-class pressure resolution, leading reliability, universal compatibility, and all the benefits of being only a fraction of the size of a traditional ESP gauge. Our new ESP Mini 125 gauge is a breakthrough innovation that we believe has the opportunity to change ESP monitoring for companies around the world.

The Smallest ESP Gauge Ever Developed

The ESP Mini 125 is the smallest ESP gauge ever developed. And it’s not just smaller by a narrow margin, it’s a fraction of the size of anything else on the market!

Unless you have experience with traditional ESP gauges or see the ESP Mini 125 side-by-side with a conventional 7-8 channel ESP gauge, the significance of this size reduction may be difficult to comprehend. At just over 12” in length, the ESP Mini 125 comes in at only 40% as long.

However, the most dramatic change is one you will immediately feel. While traditional ESP gauges can weigh more than 50 lbs, our ESP Mini 125 weighs in at a mere 1.32 lbs! Being less than 3% of the weight of a traditional ESP gauge makes for simplified transport and easy handling in the field. Significant time savings during installation, and dramatically reduced shipping costs contribute even further to the overall cost savings the ESP Mini 125 provides.

A Green Solution

While these size and weight savings have many direct practical and financial benefits to the end user, they also present significant environmental savings as well.

The use of dramatically less raw materials, easier manufacturing, and simplified transportation and logistics lead to a greatly reduced carbon footprint and overall environmental impact. For many global companies operating at scale these environmental factors are a significant consideration.

For companies running thousands of wells with multiple gauges a year, our ESP Mini 125 is a gauge solution that your accounting team, engineers, and shareholders will love.

Small Footprint, Big Capabilities

While the ESP Mini 125 may be small, it has massive capability. Packed inside its small form factor are a number of features that let it not only compete with traditional tools 50x it’s size, but that actually exceed their capability!

Our ESP Mini 125 achieves all of these mechanical feats while providing best-in-class pressure resolution & accuracy rivalling our best digital gauges! With an impressive pressure accuracy of ± 0.05% Full Scale and resolution of 0.01 psi, this tool can deliver high-quality data suitable for reservoir analysis and engineering. This data is delivered in real-time, with updates received at surface every 20-25 secs.    

The ESP Mini 125 is built for reliability. The fully welded design is engineered to withstand high-pressure & high-vibration environments. And the Military Grade ORB-10 connection provides a bullet-proof leak-free connection between the gauge and the bottom of the pump assembly. Every aspect of this tools mechanical design has been engineered to provide the reliability you would expect from us here at GEO PSI.

This breakthrough design and advanced technology unlocks a wide range of possibilities. Since every ESP gauge already has cable running downhole, we believe it should be fully utilized to enable real-time downhole pressure & temperature monitoring.

Integrating into any ESP motor with an indistry-standard Y-point connection, this gauge communicates via the 3-phase ESP power cable requiring no additional cables for communication. And with its small size, adapters of any size or configuration can be used to adapt to any motor.

Beyond its mechanical compatibility, our M6 surface card has been pre-mapped with the industry’s most common Modbus registers for plug-and-play integration into almost any VFD.

Bridging A Gap In The Market

The ESP Mini 125 was designed to bridge a gap in the market. This tool is a lower-cost solution, with high manufacturing capacity.  The small size allows us to reduce the manufacturing cost, reduce the number of components needed, and be able to consistently deliver our product even in the face of unreliable supply chains.

These economic advantages make it easier for customers to buy the ESP Mini 125 in bulk, reducing costs on the tool itself as well as the costs of logistics.  This all adds up to it being a far more economical solution that enables companies to run gauges where they wouldn’t traditionally be run, and ultimately acquire more downhole data to further optimize their operations. 

Retrieving real-time data across a specific field is becoming more valuable every day with the development of advanced optimization software. Having permanent real-time data from all your ESP’s in the field provides users with optics throughout. Our complete ESP monitoring product line helps enable this, and the ESP Mini 125 gauge has a unique role to play when it comes to enabling cost-effective, zero-comprimise monitoring for users around the world.

Easy Adoption For All Users

To accelerate adoption for users around the world we have done a number of things to make the integration of this new tool design seamless.

First, our use of familiar telemetry and the pre-mapping of Modbus registers makes integration into surface equipment a breeze. By simply tying into our surface card users can have automated control of their VFD in minutes as we have programmed the registers for all of the most common manufactures of VFD’s.

We have also designed multiple motor adapters to suit the needs of the most common motor sizes and bolt patterns. From a very basic design with the gauge exposed to a closed design to protect the gauge and allow a tail string to fit to the bottom of the motor, we have various options to choose from.

Key Accessories
