Horizontal Wells

RECON’s HDPLT platform is ideal for challenging horizontal environments. HDD™ is the only PLT 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: Horizontal Gas & Water
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.

Case History: Horizontal Gas & Water (2)
This case history is of a horizontal gas well producing high rate gas & less than 1000bbl/day of water. RECON’s accurate holdup measurements identified the water inflow sections. Using temperature/flow meter and holdup, the analysis matched, with high confidence, the flow contributions.

This particular production log  helped the asset team better understand how their rock performance, enabling better decisions on where to set the next horizontal lateral on their property.

Case History: Horizontal Gas & Water (3)
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 break through 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 of undesired saline water.
