Abstract:
1. A downhole in-situ recalibration device for use in re-calibrating an installed downhole sensor comprising: a. a downhole calibration string associated with pressure sensing; b. wherein said installed sense is a pressure sensor and said calibration string contains a pressure sensing system with multiple packers that are used to isolate a zone where the sensor to be recalibrated is installed; c. wherein a known pressure with the zone where the installed pressure sensor to be recalibrated is installed is used as calibration pressure and the installed pressure sensor is calibrated against the know pressure measured by the pressure sensing system of the calibration string d. wherein the known pressure is a controlled pressure applied from the calibration string via an opening in the calibration string into the zone between the packers.
