Vertical Wells

 

RECON’s HDPLT platform is ideal for any standard vertical producing environment.  HDPLT is the only logging system to directly measure a fullbore cross sectional gas/liquid holdup, accurately imaging how the gas & water are flowing.

 

RECON’s in-house, industry leading production logging analysis skill sets and an industry standard production logging analysis package, coupled with our HDD™ High Definition Data production measurements, accurately allocates inflows across the complex completed producing vertical & lateral sections.

 

Case History: Remediation Plug

This case history is of a vertical gas and water well, producing low volumes of gas with less than 50bbl/day of water. RECON’s HDPLT measurements identified the water inflow sections and using temperature/flow meter, fluid identification & holdup, the analysis matched with high confidence the flow contributions. 

 

This particular production log helped the asset manager’s decision to set plugs to shut off water inflow.  Remediation results comments back to RECON were that the data & analysis were bang on in order to shut off the water influx; this resulted in an increase in gas production.

Case History: Production Contribution

This case history is of a vertical gas and water well, producing high volume gas with less than 200bbl/day of water. RECON’s HDPLT measurements allowed us to overlay the three fluid ID sensors (density, capacitance and holdup) in order to confirm at what intervals the water was entering the wellbore.  This allowed for easy remediation initiatives to be developed by the Operator.

Case History: Multi-Phase HDPLT

This case history is of a vertical well, flowing ~ 200 bb/day water, 200 bbl/day oil, and 500 MCF/day gas on surface. RECON’s HDPLT system is ideal in this situation due to our High Definition Holdup measurement being able to identify the gas phase starting to flow and breakout of the oil. In addition, water is identified in this flowing wellbore.

Horizontal Wells

 

RECON’s HDPLT platform is ideal for challenging horizontal environments. HDPLT is the only logging system to directly measure a fullbore cross sectional gas/liquid holdup, accurately imaging how the gas & water are flowing.

 

RECON’s in-house, industry leading production logging analysis skill sets and an industry standard production logging analysis package, coupled with our HDD™ High Definition Data production measurements, accurately allocates inflows across the complex completed producing vertical & lateral sections.

 

 

Case History: Horizontal Gas & Water
This case history is of a horizontal gas well producing high rate gas & water. RECON’s accurate holdup measurements identified the water inflow sections and using temperature/flow meter and holdup, the analysis matched with high confidence the flow contributions. Instrumentation was deployed on Well Tractor.

 

This particular production log helped the asset manager identify water breakthrough in this horizontal well. The asset was performing at a high rate of gas until two perforation clusters communicated with an unknown fault, channeling water in from an interval below. This water influx lowered the gas production and produced at a high rate, undesired saline water.

Case History: Toe Water Contribution
This case history is of a horizontal gas well flowing at 7 MMSCFD and 1000 bbl/d. RECON’s accurate holdup measurements show water flows from the toe section and the gas contributes evenly across the lateral. In conjunction with temperature/flow meter the analysis matched with high confidence the flow contributions.

Shale Gas

 

RECON’s HDPLT platform is ideal for challenging horizontal shale gas environments.  HDPLT is the only logging system to directly measure a fullbore cross sectional gas/liquid holdup, accurately imaging how the gas & water are flowing.

 

RECON’s in-house, industry leading production logging analysis skill sets and an industry standard production logging analysis package, coupled with our HDD™ High Definition Data production measurements, accurately allocates inflows across the complex completed producing vertical & lateral sections.

 

Case History: Shale Gas Horizontal 1
This case history is of a horizontal shale gas well producing ~ 4 MMSCFD & 200 bbl/day of water. RECON’s accurate holdup measurements identified the water inflow sections and using temperature/flow meter and holdup, the analysis matched with high confidence the flow contributions.

Case History: Shale Gas Horizontal 2

This case history is of a horizontal gas well producing high rates of gas with less than 500bbl/day of water. RECON’s accurate holdup measurements identified the water inflow sections and using temperature/flow meter and holdup, the analysis matched with high confidence the flow contributions.

 

This particular production log enabled completion engineers to understand how each perforated cluster was performing. In this example the well has very uniform perf cluster performance.
