I'm looking for a system to monitor, and record, vibration data at the wellhead. We're in the process of finishing off a large multi-pad well that has had quite a few changes to its drilling schedule. Recently, there's been some concern with flanges coming undone or valves being comprised when skidding & drilling near a well that is already in production. The general consensus is that it won't cause any problems in these neighboring wells, but I'd like some data to know for sure. This is important to know because there will be thousands of feet of, unplugged, hydraulically fractured lateral coming to the surface if there happens to be a problem. The setup doesn't need to be anything fancy or in depth (I just need to see general trends in vibration when certain operations are occurring around the wellhead). It doesn't even need to be industry specific. However, if there is already something out there for this application in particular, that would be OK.
Requirements:
Not handheld -- I need a system that I can apply to the wellhead and leave it.
AND
Is able to record and store data for further analysis.
I've looked up different vibration monitors but I'm not sure how to correctly apply them for what I need. Any ideas?
