    TGT launches ChorusX

    Dubai, U.A.E – 21 June 2023   TGT Diagnostics today announced the launch of its latest acoustic platform, ChorusX, a new diagnostic resource specifically designed to locate and characterise flow in oil and gas wells. This all-new acoustic array platform enables energy companies to find and map fluid flow throughout the well-reservoir system with greater ease and precision, helping them to keep wells safe, clean, and productive.   Ken Feather, TGT’s chief marketing officer, commented, “Understanding flow dynamics in the well system is the key to unlocking better well and reservoir performance, and acoustic techniques have become an indispensable means of achieving that goal. ChorusX is the result of two decades of intensive research, innovation, and extensive field experience in applying the power of sound to flow diagnostics in thousands of wells. Eight high-definition array sensors, extreme dynamic range recording and a unique phase analysis engine work in concert to deliver uncompromising levels of clarity, precision, and certainty to analysts and well operators.”   At the heart of ChorusX is a compact array of eight nano-synchronised sensors that record high-resolution flow sounds across an extreme dynamic range of intensities and frequencies. A unique phase analysis workflow combines specialised acoustic field modelling with a sophisticated waveform-matching algorithm. This combination delivers an important new dimension to acoustics and flow diagnosis – radial distance. In combination, these advances underpin four new complementary answer products that enable TGT analysts to easily and accurately locate and map flow throughout the well system.   Ken continued, “ChorusX has been redesigned from the ground up to excel in three important areas: extending spatial and audible reach to record the lightest, quietest, and furthest flows; recognising different types of flows; and pinpointing flow sources with unmatched accuracy in depth, and radially. Flow events are displayed more clearly in high definition, enabling operators to plan actions with greater confidence and implement them efficiently with precision.”   TGT has been advancing the use of acoustics to locate and characterise flow for more than two decades, and ChorusX is available to all TGT Diagnostics customers through a range of True Flow and True Integrity/Seal Integrity products.

    TGT launches advanced flow diagnostics for horizontal wells

    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.

    Harts E&P Magazine – Tendeka and TGT have created “Sandbar” to mitigate the costly consequences of sand control failure in wells

    Collaboration combats sand control failures Article featured in Harts E&P Magazine   In mature basins, sand issues can account for up to 10% of all shut-in wells either due to failure of the existing downhole sand control or onset of sand production due to pressure depletion and/or water production.   There are many reasons for sand or fine material entering and accumulating in the wellbore, and depending on the level of severity, the consequences need not be detrimental. However, the accumulation of sand production downhole or in surface equipment can lead to production being killed, wells shut-in, or collapse of the formation.   As an inherent problem in the oil and gas industry, the first indication of sand issues downhole will often be as a result of detrimental effects that can occur at surface, such as fill in separators or erosional damage to pipe work.   As existing solutions have been extremely limited due to their high cost and/or poor performance, together, independent global completions service company Tendeka and diagnostic specialists TGT have created Sandbar to mitigate the costly consequences of sand control failure in wells. Downhole monitoring and remediation The conventional process of thru-tubing sand control can be costly and time consuming. In many cases there is a requirement to remove sand from the wellbore prior to installing the chosen sand control solution. Once installed many traditional remediation techniques still allow the wellbore to refill with formation sand reducing productivity and increasing susceptibility to erosional failure.   Therefore, the major challenge is to regain sand control in existing completions and prevent sand from filling the wellbore, without the requirement to perform a workover or complex thru-tubing gravel packs.   Proper diagnosis is the critical first step to any kind of well remediation planning and execution. But determining the precise location and extent of sand ingress downhole has challenged the industry for decades, as previous attempts were unable to reliably distinguish between sand and fluid flow.   The challenge of locating and effectively mitigating sand production has now been addressed by combining the features of two products, one to accurately identify the locations of sand ingress within the wellbore, and the other to quickly repair the damage. The conventional process of thru-tubing sand control can be costly and time consuming.

Accurately eliminating sand issues Managing and curtailing sand production issues is essential to maintain asset integrity and extend the life of the asset. Tendeka and TGT have joined forces to create the more effective, intervention-based solution, ‘Find Fix Confirm’ sand remediation service, which is believed to be the first specialized, integrated approach to fully understand and fix sand production issues.   First, the ‘Find’ element of the solution, whereby TGT’s ‘Sand Flow’ diagnostics precisely locates sand entry to the wellbore and provides a qualitative sand count, clearly identifying problem zones, even in turbulent flow conditions (Figure 1). Figure 1: TGT’s Anechoic Chamber completely absorbs reflections of sound and electromagnetic waves, enhancing the company’s acoustic diagnostic capabilities Although commonly used to diagnose a known sand production issue, Sand Flow is also used proactively to ensure downhole sand control measures are working correctly. This can include targeting unconsolidated formation that requires regular intervention, sand screen failure, and surface equipment failure.   Sand Flow diagnostics are delivered using TGT’s ‘True Flow’ system and ‘Chorus’ acoustic sensing platform. Fluids travelling through the well system produce a rich spectrum of acoustic energy, and Chorus captures and decodes the acoustic signature generated by sand particles entering the wellbore. Deployed in hole on wireline, Chorus reveals sand ingress locations and sand count by analysing the acoustic power spectrum of acquired data, and discriminating between sand flow and fluid flow. By flowing from the reservoir whilst the tool is in the well, the acoustic signature of any sand within the production stream can be characterized such that the sand entry points and sand rate can be identified. Chorus leverages high-fidelity recording across a wide dynamic range and proprietary sand-recognition analysis to deliver robust sand detection in a broad range of sand flow scenarios.   To ‘Fix’ or regain sand control in existing completions and prevent sand from filling the wellbore, Tendeka’s one-trip, thru-tubing sand control system ‘Filtrex’, is deployed via coiled tubing into the well and positioned across the target area to quickly repair the breach or damage (Figure 2).   Figure 2: Sand clean out and screen installation by Filtrex is performed across three key stages As a retrievable thru-tubing system, the flexible, open cell matrix polymer filter can be easily installed by conventional means in a live well, this includes thru-tubing, and through tight nipple restrictions.   When self-centralized, it can expand in deviations up to 90˚ and is understood to be the only product of its kind that can be run through larger casing/liner configurations, for example, a 3.688-in. nipple and set in a 7-in. liner. It can be deployed in-hole compressed within the running tool and compression sleeve. This offers full compliance to the damaged section once set. By dropping a ball from surface, a simple two-stage application of pressure firstly sets the anchor, and secondly releases the compression sleeve.   Upon removal of the sleeve, the matrix polymer expands to contact the wellbore and the deployment string can be retrieved from the well. Filling the annular gap with the open cell matrix polymer prevents further ingress of formation solids into the wellbore whilst still allowing passage of liquids or gases. The multilayer system ensures full expansion in the damaged screen section or casing and effective flow divergence regaining sand control in existing completions (Figure 3).     Figure 3: Filtrex expanding out of compression sleeve The first of its kind, the device can perform sand clean out and chemical treatments during live well deployment, thereby preventing multiple intervention trips. When deployed on coiled tubing the installation of the system has the potential to significantly improve the financial feasibility of restoring production to failed wells. As it negates the need for a workover or complex thru-tubing gravel packs, the remedial system can also cut intervention timings and associated run changes by at least half.   The length can be modified to suit the application and lubricator length restriction. If longer lengths are required these can be stacked on top the previous screen section. The system design allows the combination of many distinct layers with a range of cell sizes. This ensures the design has the flexibility to size the screening for each application to ensure appropriate retention of sand in reservoirs up to 110°C (230°F).   Finally and crucially, the service can ‘Confirm’ the effectiveness of the solution with the redeployment of TGT’s Sand Flow diagnostics through the internal diameter of the Filtrex system to confirm that no sand is entering at that depth. This enables better use of resources and more reliable sand control outcomes.   Innovation through partnership As a single approach, existing remedial methodologies to address sand management, such as running an insert sand screen, applying consolidation treatment or performing a remedial gravel pack, are disjointed, lack insight on the precise location of the problem, and often fail to fully eliminate the problem. Likewise, their use can vary in complexity, cost, risk, longevity and effectiveness. Associated weaknesses can often result in reduced production or in extreme cases, loss of surface containment due to erosion.   Bringing together two technologies in one service offering will ensure fast, accurate and tailored remediation to a variety of sand control issues at a fraction of the time, cost and risk of conventional solutions to this age-old problem. Being compatible with thru-tubing operations, including live well deployment and single trip sand clean out, provides greater flexibility and assurance.   Ultimately, it will empower operators to better understand the true sources of sand production and its behaviour and ensure reservoir management decisions are precisely targeted for improved integrity and enhanced asset life.
