    Q. What kinds of dogs survive at 2000 meters beneath the ocean’s surface?

    A. "Hot" dogs.

    ABB’s DOGS (Downhole Optical Gauge System) technology goes 2000 meters beneath the ocean’s surface, braving temperatures as high as 200+ degrees Celsius. A job like that requires optimal performance with absolutely no glitches. Thanks to DOGS, this can be a reality. The system is made up of a fiber optic sensor which functions as a key element of ABB’s Advanced Downhole Monitoring and Reservoir Control system.
    		It can be used with wells on fixed platforms, floating production facilities and subsea wells, eliminating the need for costly well intervention common to older systems.

    Q. What is the brain power behind this system?

    A. ABB engineers are developing intelligent production and processing systems operated by remote control. These systems need
    		to be rugged and precise to accurately monitor and control the flow of hydrocarbons.

    Q. How does this technology affect me?

    Integrated with the next generation of control systems, this downhole technology ensures that oil and gas can be sent hundreds of kilometers back to shore or to existing platforms safely and economically.
