Flow Profile
The patented TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Flow Profile service developed and field proven by Tracerco and Norsk Hydro, allows our customers to gain important flow profile information in extended reach wells upon clean up and first oil production.
Background
The principle of the technology involves the positioning of a number of different tracer materials, each at specific locations along the length of tubing prior to lowering downhole. The tracers are selected to be soluble only in crude oil. Upon well start up oil samples are taken at the surface over a short period of time. Samples, analysed back at the Tracerco laboratories, are subjected to analysis to determine tracer presence. The presence of one or a combination of unique tracers within oil and the known location of each tracer downhole allows qualitative information to be generated of oil flow.
Benefits of the TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Flow Profile
The TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Flow Profile has provided the following benefits to our customers for a number of years now:
- Tracerco provide the complete service – project design, tracer supply and attachment, analysis.
- Requires no well intervention
- Can be used on perforation gun or pre-packed screen arrangement.
- Determination of oil flow position along a horizontally drilled wellbore.
- Oil production contribution from individual laterals within a multi-lateral well.
- Requires no additional rig time or rig space.
- Low cost when compared to conventional technology application.
