Total Flow
Locates and quantifies flow within the entire well system.
Page last modified
August 4 2023
Well systems need to connect the right fluids to the right places. But that doesn’t always happen. Knowing what’s gone wrong means looking both inside and beyond the wellbore to see the actual flow picture. Total Flow locates and quantifies wellbore flow and critically reservoir flow, revealing the relationship between the two.
Delivered by our True Flow system using the Chorus (acoustic) platform and the Cascade (thermal) platform; Total Flow provides the clarity and insight needed to manage well system performance more effectively. Total Flow is commonly used to diagnose unexpected or undesirable well system behaviour, but it can also be used proactively to ensure the well system is working properly.
Pro/con
Understand the true sources of production and quantify flow profiles accurately
Know where injection fluids are going and quantify flow profiles accurately
Know source of gas breakthrough or unwanted production due to cross flow and thief zones
Better well and reservoir management decisions
Identify field development opportunities and extend productive life of assets
Requires stationary stops to provide accurate passive acoustic information as opposed to a continuous log due to the sensitivity of the Hydrophone
Specification
Programmes & Methods
Analysts customise diagnostic programmes, using an acoustic model of the well system housed in our digital workspace - Maxim, to create a method to active the well system to expose targeted fluid dynamics.
Tools and Measurements
Unique sensor design provides a high level of threshold sensitivity and dynamic range.
Processing and Modelling
Model Oriented processing of downhole data from multiple sensors allows you to determine the position and classify the signal source.
Analysis and Interpretation
Single immersive platform enables efficient workflow execution from planning to product generation.
Products
Our products offer critical well diagnostics to address the full spectrum of well system flow and integrity challenges.
