Zusammenfassung:A monitoring well installation comprising metallic casing (2) and a sealing material plug (6) provided downhole in the borehole for sealing the borehole against the egress of fluid from a zone below the plug. There is an uncased length of borehole at least 10 m in length in which the plug seals against the formation. There is provided a downhole sensing tool (3) located below the plug (6) and a communication arrangement (31, 5, 4) for use in transmitting data from the sensing tool towards the surface, which comprises an across plug communication apparatus (5) comprising a pair of spaced contacts (51) contacting the casing and/or the formation and a transmitter located below the plug (6) for transmitting signals carrying data across the plug towards the surface.
