Memory Based Monitoring
La Bomba
Go the distance & get long-term downhole well pressure data with La Bomba.
Obtain long-term data with La Bomba. With exceptional low power consumption, it can run for up to a three-year cycle before you need to replace the battery. Use it for draw down and build-up analysis for any type of insert pump. It’s also the perfect tool for tubing conveyed or pump-mounted applications.
Why La Bomba?
- Get a long-term record of well pressure
- Enjoy up to three years of data collection before battery replacement
- Adapt for use with downhole pumps using Canada Tech’s strainer nipple
Applications
- Long-duration data recording
- Long-term pressure monitoring for applications with strainer nipple on downhole pumps with enough resolution to see the shape of the individual pump stroke
- Long-term multi-point horizontal well pressure monitoring
