Modular downhole gauge for use in retrievable electric submersible pump systems with wet-connect

摘要

Systems and methods for employing gauge packages for use with a wet-connect ESPs. In one embodiment, a modular gauge package includes a body, a gauge electronics assembly housed within the body, and a pair of electrical connectors at the upper and lower ends of the body, where power is passed through the body from one connector to the other. The electrical connector at the top of the body engages a complementary electrical connector on the bottom of a pump motor. The electrical connector at the bottom of the body engages a complementary electrical connector at the end of a production conduit. The connector at the bottom of the body may be identically configured with the connector at the bottom of the pump motor, and the connector at the top of the body may be identically configured with the connector at the end of the production conduit.
