Oil & Gas Well and Reservoir Monitoring Applications Temperature is one of the most useful measurements for verifying and troubleshooting well operations as well as gaining valuable insight about the condition of the reservoir. Traditional tools and techniques only provide limited information either over short-timescales (non-continuous) or for single points down the well. The implementation of SensorTran’s intelligent fiber optic Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) solutions represents a proven, affordable and reliable advancement by providing permanent and real-time temperature logging over the entire length of the well without intervention. This provides for the continuous evaluation and assessment of wellbore conditions and events allowing for informed decisions to reduce operating costs and increase well productivity. A typical DTS well monitoring solution consists of a DTS unit connected to an optical fiber installed in a control-line within the well. They provide real-time dynamic temperature data with high accuracy, very fine resolution, and fast measurement speeds for up to 40,000 discrete points along a single optical fiber. The richness of the data provided by SensorTran’s advanced DTS technology provides significant advantages: > Troubleshoot wellbore conditions without intervention and identify problems before they become serious: locate tubing and equipment leaks, detect flow behind casing, identify cross flow > Optimize multi-zone production over life of a well: identify water or gas break-though, monitor changes in zone contributions, monitor steam flood and SGD efficiency > Verify effectiveness of downhole operations in real-time: confirm injection profiles, monitor cementing jobs, verify cement tops, verify gas-lift valve operation |
