Q-Fi®: Revolutionising Downhole Monitoring

Cutting-Edge Wireless Technology for Enhanced Subsurface Water Management

+ Why Choose Q-Fi®?

At Qteq, we have introduced our newest innovation – Q-Fi®, a revolutionary wireless downhole monitoring solution designed to optimise wellbore water levels for enhanced production efficiency. Trusted and endorsed by Queensland’s largest energy producers, Q-Fi® sets a new benchmark in performance, reliability, and sustainability.

Unmatched Reliability

Eliminates the most vulnerable components of traditional cabled monitoring systems, ensuring robust and reliable performance in challenging environments.

Improved Well Productivity

Q-Fi systems can be positioned below the submersible pump, enabling water level to be set closer to the pump intake, thereby increasing reservoir drawdown.

Enhanced Safety and Simplicity

Downhole wireless telemetry enables safer, faster, and easier installation and retrieval.

Permits live well workovers, thereby minimising reservoir productivity impairment.

Sustainability First

Recyclable components reduce environmental waste.

90% lower carbon footprint compared to wired solutions, supporting your sustainability goals.

Industry Tested Innovation

Proven and trusted by major Australian energy producers, ensuring Q-Fi® delivers exceptional results in real-world applications to the robust quality standards that Qteq is known for.

 

Key Features

1.Wireless Telemetry

Eliminates the need for traditional tubing-encased communication cables, reducing installation safety risks, streamlining well workover durations and boosting long-term system performance reliability.

2. Live Workover Capability

Compact downhole gauge carrier designs and wireless telemetry enable well workovers to be performed without adversely impacting reservoir productivity.

3. Custom Sampling Technology & Smart Power Management

Optimises battery life with pressure-dependent data transmission, sleep mode and optimised transmitter power for multi-year operation.

4. Safety-Driven Design

No pinch points, exclusion zones, or lifting operations, ensuring safer deployment and maintenance.

5. Eco-Friendly Solutions

Significantly reduces carbon footprint and material waste, aligning with environmental stewardship goals

+ Applications

+ Optimise In-Well Water Level Management

Ensure efficient drawdown strategies to limit near-wellbore formation damage.

+ Prevent Pump-Off

Safeguard against pump-off conditions that can lead to rapid submersible pump failures.

+Accelerate Production

Maintain water levels closer to the pump inlet for faster dewatering and increased operational efficiency.

How it Works

Q-Fi® employs advanced electromagnetic telemetry (EMT) to wirelessly transmit bottomhole pressure measurements to a ground-level receiver. This real-time data enables informed decision-making, prevents completion failures, and optimises well performance.

System Components Include

  • Q-Fi EMT Pressure Gauge: Transmits precision measurements of in-situ conditions using robust, field-tested sensors and electronics.
  • Q-Fi EMT Gauge Carrier: Houses the pressure gauge and an extended length battery pack.
  • Completion Contact Spring: forms part of the downhole EM antenna system needed to inject signals into the well casing and surrounding formation. Utilised only when torque anchors are not incorporated below the Gauge Carrier. 
  • Q-Fi EM6 Surface Receiver Card: Detects and decodes EM signals transmitted by the downhole Q-Fi wireless gauge, with extracted data providing actionable insights for operators.

Proven Results

  • Deployed at Depths up to 1,412m: Demonstrating unmatched reliability and versatility.
  • “Data-on-Demand” Custom Sampling: Delivers data at time intervals that vary with rate of change in in-situ conditions, to enhance pump control while maximising battery life.
  • Track Record of Success: We’re recognised for reliability and innovation, driving adoption across the energy sector.
