"Horizontal wells can be both challenging and rewarding." Article featured in Oil Review Middle East (article link)   Managing their performance is a complex task for petroleum engineers and asset teams. But, with the right strategies in place, a horizontal well will usually deliver much higher levels of productivity than could be achieved with a vertical well. TGT’s new Horizontal Flow diagnostics technology has been designed to assess flow in horizontal wells and to deliver a clearer picture of well-system behaviour.     Flow inside the wellbore of a horizontal well can be challenging to decipher, but flow outside is even more complex, and way beyond the reach of conventional production logging (PL) surveys. For years, petroleum engineers have been searching for better survey options in horizontal wells and for systems that could deliver continuous flow profiles across different completion and reservoir scenarios. TGT has addressed these needs with its Horizontal Flow product, an advanced flow-diagnostics resource powered by Cascade3 technology.     This innovative technology features a powerful modelling and simulation engine that predicts the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic behaviour of fluids and their surroundings as those fluids flow through the well-reservoir system. Horizontal Flow is specifically designed for use in horizontal wells and, using the industry’s most advanced hydrodynamic and thermodynamic modelling technologies, it can translate temperature, pressure, and other well-system data into continuous reservoir flow profiles.     These profiles deliver a true picture of inflow and outflow even in challenging wells, such as those with natural or hydraulically induced fractures. The new technology evaluates the common types of flow pattern encountered in horizontal well systems (radial, spherical and linear/fracture), thereby making it possible to assess the linear flow occurring in fractures and to determine fracture contribution. This is particularly useful when combined with the Chorus acoustic sensing system that identifies fracture locations.     Horizontal Flow helps asset teams: • establish reliable, continuous flow profiles • locate water or gas breakthroughs • reduce carbon per barrel • maintain a more accurate reservoir model • measure effective pay length • make more accurate reserves assessments • reveal crossflow problems • evaluate the performance of inflow control devices and packers • assess fractures • make more accurate production forecasts • optimise completion designs.     Production engineers, reservoir engineers and the wider asset team need to ensure that each well system performs to expectations by achieving production targets and maximising recovery. Effective management of horizontal wells can deliver huge production benefits. TGT’s new Horizontal Flow diagnostics technology offers clearer insights and helps keep well and reservoir performance on track.

Challenge A high gas–oil ratio leads to unnecessarily high carbon emissions, lower oil production and increased carbon-per-barrel rates. Managing and processing excess gas requires substantial energy and capital expenditure for surface infrastructure and facilities. In this case, the aim was to identify zones for gas shut-off that would enable the operator to optimise surface infrastructure capacity, maximise oil production and minimise carbon footprint.   Well A-1 features a 7 in. x 4-1/2 in. cemented liner across several commingled oil and gas-bearing zones. Developing compartmentalised multi-stacked reservoirs using simplified well completions makes it challenging for diagnostics to determine production allocation, reveal flow assurance issues, understand reservoir connectivity, monitor individual well performance, and forecast total field production.   Gas production had already exceeded the limit of surface processing facilities for well operation with existing production rates, which meant the operator had to choke back production. In addition, the unwanted gas was taking up part of the operator’s pipeline quota and creating other transportation and flow assurance issues. The well contains at least five clastic reservoir zones, each with multiple layers, that are perforated across an interval of more than 1,500 ft. This level of complexity meant that conventional production logging tools were unable to adequately characterise flow or confidently distinguish the main gas-contributing layers. Total Flow example well sketch. Total Flow locates and quantifies wellbore and reservoir flow, and reveals the relationship between the two. Delivered by our True Flow system with Chorus and Cascade technology, 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 behavior, but it can also be used proactively to ensure the well system is working properly. Solution The operator selected TGT’s Total Flow product, with Cascade, Chorus and Indigo as the main technology platforms chosen to perform the well system diagnostic survey. This would reveal which zones were contributing to the production of oil and gas, diagnose wellbore and reservoir flows, and help identify potential well integrity issues such as annulus sealing problems due to poor cement. The solution combines the sensitive, fast-response temperature sensor of the Indigo platform with high-definition acoustic sensing from Chorus that reveals active flow in the well system.   Comprehensive temperature and flow modelling with Cascade enabled TGT analysts to assess and allocate production distribution and provide accurate oil and gas flow profiles across the reservoir zones. The survey also identified active flow layers and recorded characteristic acoustic signals generated by liquid and gas flowing through reservoir media and the wellbore. Pre- and post-workover survey results illustrate the effectiveness of the gas zone isolation programme and resulting decrease of gas production, which enabled surface infrastructure to stay within its operating envelope. Result Total Flow diagnostics quantified the contribution of reservoir layers from five different zones and identified the main gas producing layers, providing a comprehensive flow profile. The operator was able to define active flow units and differentiate between flows through the reservoir matrix, the behind-casing channels and the wellbore completion components.   This enabled the operator to target and conduct an effective remediation plan. The workover involved a 200-ft-long 2-⅞- in. straddle installed to isolate the zone with the highest gas contribution. A post-workover Total Flow survey was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the isolation job. The straddle had isolated 83% of the gas production. This delivered a reduction of 7.9 MMscf per day at surface (equivalent to 2.8 Bscf per year).   Overall, the isolation job was considered highly successful. Identifying the main gas shut-off zones played a crucial role in optimising surface infrastructure, maximising oil production, and minimising carbon footprint for this well.
