Memory/Real-Time Production Logging Tool

Memory Production Logging Tool

Oildata's Production Logging Tool has been used to successfully record single and multiphase PLT surveys on numerous horizontal and vertical wells in Nigeria

The tool simultaneously records measurements from up to eight (8) independent, high-resolution sensors.

Description

The Memory/Real-Time Production logging tool simultaneously records data from up to six different production log sensors (e.g. Spinner, Gradio-Manometer, Capacitance, Gamma Ray, Temperature and Caliper), in addition to the Casing Collar Locator and Quartz Pressure.

In memory mode, log data is stored in a downloadable memory tool. The tool string can be deployed on Slickline, Coiled Tubing or E-line depending on the logistics.

Depth correlation in memory mode is achieved by simultaneous recording of the depth and time via an electronic encoder and depth-time interface, and correlating the resulting output logs (e.g. Gamma Ray and Casing Collars), to the existing open hole logs.

High resolution measurements are taken over a sample interval as small as 10 samples a second and stored in nonvolatile memory which has capacities as large as 50Mb. Data files and logs can be transmitted using a modem link to any location from the well site.

Interpretation is performed at the well site with aid of a computer-based Cased Hole interpretation package. Final interpretation is done at our Computer Center. It is virtually impossible to distinguish data acquired in Memory or Real time modes.

Oildata is the first logging company to record a production log on a short radius horizontal well in Nigeria.
