Dubai, U.A.E – 22 February 2022   TGT’s Horizontal Flow diagnostics powered by the all new Cascade3 technology delivers accurate assessments of flow dynamics in horizontal wells, thereby enabling asset teams to manage well and reservoir performance more effectively.    TGT Diagnostics announced today the launch of ‘Horizontal Flow’ diagnostics with Cascade3 technology. This powerful new system, specifically designed for horizontal wells, provides asset teams with more realistic flow modelling and accurate continuous flow profiles in a wide variety of completion and reservoir settings, including fractured formations.    Horizontal Flow diagnostics underpinned by the all-new Cascade3 flow analysis platform is a purpose-built system incorporating the industry’s most advanced thermodynamic and hydrodynamic modelling codes to transform temperature and other well system data into continuous reservoir flow profiles. Crucially, these flow profiles reflect flow both in and out of the reservoir and thus deliver the most accurate and detailed picture of well–reservoir flow behaviour.    Commenting on the technology, Mohammed Hegazi, TGT’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Understanding the flow dynamics in a well system is the key to unlocking better well and reservoir performance. This is especially true for horizontal wells where fluid flow can be incredibly complex. Horizontal Flow is the most powerful flow analysis product ever created for horizontal well systems. It overcomes many of the challenges faced with conventional production logs and enables operators to maximise hydrocarbon recovery while operating in the safest, cleanest and most economical way possible.”    Improved understanding provides a much-needed opportunity to optimise performance, as Ken Feather, TGT’s Chief Marketing Officer, explains: ‘’The transition towards cleaner energy and declining opportunities for new field developments means that operators are shifting investments towards recovering more from existing assets. Horizontal wells promise enormous efficiency and economic gains but are notoriously challenging to manage. Horizontal Flow with Cascade3 solves many of the diagnostic challenges faced by Reservoir and Production Engineers, providing them with the insights they need to reduce operating costs and energy consumption, and increase ultimate recovery.’’    The complete and accurate downhole assessment Horizontal Flow with Cascade3 offers means that diagnostic deployments can provide a wealth of information from a single programme, thereby reducing uncertainty and avoiding the need for subsequent deployments. Yulia Fesina, Cascade project manager, said “The Cascade3 workflow can also be used to estimate or validate other key parameters that reservoir and production engineers may find extremely valuable, including reservoir pressure, permeability and skin factor. This independent verification of key parameters can help reservoir engineers to resolve uncertainties and improve history matching and dynamic reservoir models.”    Horizontal Flow diagnostics are now available to upstream operators through TGT’s comprehensive range of True Flow answer products. 

Dubai, U.A.E – 25th April 2024   Dubai, 25 April 2024, TGT Diagnostics and FOSINA announced today a collaboration to provide advanced multimode, multiplatform fibre-optic sensing and analysis solutions for oil and gas operators.   Both companies are category leaders in their respective fields and the joint solution will provide oilfield customers with a wider array of previously unavailable diagnostic insights, aiding better informed decision making in managing wells and hydrocarbon reservoirs.   The new hybrid solution uniquely incorporates a multiplatform and multimode approach, pairing FOSINA’s advanced DxS platform with TGT’s ChorusX array acoustics and Cascade modelling systems. DxS technology combines four distributed fibre-optic modes in one modular system; ChorusX delivers high-resolution multipoint acoustic measurements; and Cascade assimilates all acquired data to deliver exceptional diagnostic performance.   “FOSINA are world experts in distributed fibre-optic sensors with an enviable track record in asset monitoring across many industrial sectors,” said Saad Bargach, TGT’s CEO. “Diagnostics that integrate multiple measuring modes are better equipped to reveal and resolve well system behaviour than single mode techniques. The result is exceptional accuracy, clarity and certainty in diagnosis and decision making, which ultimately leads to better asset performance for our customers. Combining FOSINA’s distributed fibre-optic technology with TGT’s expertise in data modelling and analysis creates a powerful diagnostic resource for oilfield operators.”   “Our collaboration with TGT will allow FOSINA to access a wide range of new opportunities thanks to TGT’s well established network of service locations around the world,” added Alexis Constantinou, CEO of FOSINA. “The combination of TGT’s advanced diagnostic systems, interpretation software and skilled analysts together with FOSINA’s cutting edge distributed fibre-optic sensors will bring an unprecedented ability to acquire and interpret invaluable data, enabling operators to act promptly and accurately thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) assisted real-time workflows. This collaboration paves the way for customised and disruptive innovations in the Energy sector, where rapid and informed decision-making is crucial.” About TGT Diagnostics      TGT Diagnostics creates powerful diagnostics that are essential to the delivery of hydrocarbons and energy.
