Evaluation of a Novel Downhole Fluid Analysis Tool
EF 2019-20
Résumé
Pursuit Technologies Ltd. developed a novel downhole oil and gas tool for use in horizontal drilling operations. It combines the features of horizontal production, pressure transient analysis and coiled tubing drill stem testing. The tool uses straddle packers for zonal isolation to analyze oil, water and gas production and for reservoir characterization. The company approached SAIT to develop an operational procedure that accounts for interfering chemicals and additives and evaluate their patent-pending Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) sensor that is incorporated into their Multi-Stage Evaluation Tool (MSET). Using a NMR sensor, the MSET can be placed downhole to isolate sections of the well to increase production while reducing water and salinity contamination of the produced oil.
