CAPACITANCE ARRAY TOOL (CAT)
The CAT tool is designed to solve the problem of accurate fluid phase identification in vertical, horizontal or highly deviated wells. The tool has an array of 12 specially developed miniature capacitance sensors mounted on the inside of a set of bow-springs. Each sensor of the array measures the capacitance of the surrounding fluid close to the well casing. Since the measurements are taken in a single plane across the diameter of the wellbore, rather than spaced along it, an accurate cross-sectional plot can be generated. APPLICATIONS |
