The Xplorer RFID UHF tag has been validated by tests simulating simultaneous high temperature, high pressure stresses as well as in an actual live well site for survivability and performance under the extreme conditions of pressure, vibration, temperature and chemicals of a well. Xerafy’s patent-pending tag, the first tag of its kind, is uniquely constructed with a breakthrough RF design, high strength steel, polymer materials and advanced manufacturing techniques to meet the rigors required for a downhole tag solution. The Xplorer RFID tag is designed to for quick “snap in” attachment that is secure and will not become loose during the downhole operation.
