Abstract Over the past few years, the oil and gas industry has faced a situation of high fluctuations in hydrocarbon prices on the world market. In addition, the trend for the depletion of traditional hydrocarbon reservoirs and the search for new effective solutions for the management and control of field development using horizontal and multilateral wells is still relevant. The most common method for horizontal wells testing is production logging tools (PLT) on coiled tubing (CT) or downhole tractor, which is associated with HSE risks and high cost, especially on offshore platforms, which limits the widespread use of this technology. The solution without such risks is the method of marker well monitoring, which allows obtaining information about the profile and composition of the inflow in a dynamic mode in horizontal wells without well intervention. There are several types of tracer (marker) carriers and today we will consider an approach to placing marker monitoring systems as part of a completion for three-phase oil, water and gas monitoring.

Summary Downhole-temperature measurement is one of the solutions to understanding downhole-flow conditions, especially in complex well/reservoir domains such as multistage-fractured horizontal wells. In the past, models and methodologies have been developed for fracture diagnosis for multiple-stage-fractured horizontal wells. They are based either on a semianalytical approach for simplicity or on reservoir simulation for generality. The challenges are that semianalytical models are not robust enough to describe complex fracture systems, whereas numerical simulation is computationally expensive and impractical for inversion. To develop a comprehensive approach to translate temperature to flow profile, we adopted the fast marching method (FMM) in simulating both heat transfer and the velocity/pressure field in the interested domain (heterogeneous reservoir with multiple-fractured horizontal wells). FMM is a new approach that is efficient in front tracking. Previous studies show a significant success in the investigation of pressure-depletion behavior and shale-gas production-history match. By the nature of heat transfer in porous media, the thermal-front propagation would lag behind pressure, and the noticeable temperature change in the reservoir only happens near hydraulic/natural fractures. FMM can be used to efficiently track the heat front that is associated with the flow field. In this study, we solve the thermal model in porous media by transforming the general energy-balance equation into a 1D equation, with the diffusive time of flight (DTOF) as the spatial coordinate system. Besides the diffusive heat conduction, the convection, Joule-Thomson effect, and viscous dissipation are considered in the model. The inner boundary of the model is carefully handled, and the drainage volume of each fracture is calculated to identify different inflow temperature related to flow rate at perforation locations. The model was validated by the finite-difference approach. Examples are presented in the paper to illustrate the application of the new method. The approach can be used to quantitatively interpret temperature measurements to fracture profiles in horizontal wells.

Abstract Objective/ Scope Production logging analysis is essential to understand and evaluate reservoir performance throughout the lifetime of an oil well. Data acquisition and analysis is known to be challenging in modern extended reach horizontal wells due to multiple factors such as conveyance difficulties, fluid segregation, debris, or open hole washouts. Advanced compact multiple array production logging tool (APLT) is proposed to minimize the uncertainties related to these challenges. Method, Procedure, and Process The proposed sensor deployment method provides a comprehensive borehole coverage, thus maximizing the amount of subsurface information collected to evaluate the production performance of a horizontal well. Essential measurements are combined on six individual arms. Each arm is independently deployed which guarantees the best borehole coverage in a variety of borehole condition. Robust mechanical arm design minimizes damage, allows tolerance to decentralization, and provides greater confidence in determining the sensor locations. Each arm utilizes two fluid holdup sensors (Resistance, Optical) and one velocity sensor (Micro-Spinner). Co-location of the sensors minimizes the uncertainty related to sensor spacing when compared with previous generation of APLT. Results, Observations, Conclusions The new sensor deployment method and analysis results are discussed showing the added value in barefoot completion as well as advanced ICD completion. The holdup sensors response from previous generation APLT is compared to the advanced tool and how it relates to better borehole coverage. The results also illustrate use of high frequency optical probes for phase holdup determination. In addition, the optical probes are used to confirm bubble point pressure at in situ conditions by confidently detecting the first gas indication in the tubular. The results clearly show how a compact APLT maximizes the borehole coverage in highly deviated and horizontal wells. This is critical in collecting representative data of all segregated fluids which enables more accurate interpretation of the flow profile in the well and better understanding of reservoir performance. Novel / Additive Information The novelty of the new instrument is the ability to maximize the amount of subsurface production logging information collected with low uncertainty and minimum operational risk.
