In order to realize the realtime transmission of pressure data and the flexible control of the downhole
switch, the packer, a new cable control layered test technology is developed by transmitting packer, the downhole switch and the pressure gauge
with the tools by tubing and connecting the switch and the pressure gauge of each layer by cable, which is connected with surface instruments. A
pressure balance switch and a sand control stuck string are designed for this technology. It sends commands to the downhole switch by the cable.
The pressure data can be observed and recorded on the ground instrument. Switch and temperature and pressure instrument of each layer are set up
with a separate address, and up to 16 tests can be completed in one downhole. The new cable control stratification test can measure the formation
pressure and temperature, and obtain the seepage parameters of each interval, calculate the liquid production volume of each layer during the
combined mining of each interval. It provides the proper production pressure difference for the oil well. The technology has the advantages of
convenient switch operation, direct reading of pressure and temperature data. It is the development direction of test technology.
