In order to obtain the above information, a series of logs must be run. The fluid content, percentage of each fluid at every interval and also the percentage of total production of the well can be acquired using the following logs: Dielectric log tool, Gradiomanometer and a Continuous flow meter log.
Dielectric log tool: This tool is used in accordance with the fluid content log which detects water in the production profile due to its ionic bond and hence determines where hydrocarbons are. The log response of this tool is recorded on a scale of 0 to 1. If there is 100% oil in a perforation zone, the log response will be close to zero because it does not contain any electrical properties. However if there is a mixture of oil and water, due to the percentage of each fluid in the mixture it will shift either closer to zero because there is more hydrocarbons and vice versa.
Continuous flow Meter Log: Continuous flowmeter logging is used to determine the sources of water, oil and gas production due to their difference in velocity. If the above data was to be presented on a log, starting from the bottom of perforation, the response will show the maximum volume of fluid coming in from each perforation indicated by plateau forming. If it contains a mixture of liquids such as oil and water as seen at 6880’-6900’ there will be a significant difference in velocity when compared to their individual velocity.
Gradiomanometers: This type of production logging tool measures fluid densities of subsurface fluids. It detects the source of oil/water/gas in the production profile due to the difference in density. It uses a scale from 0.3- 1.2, with 1 being the density of

    In early 1981, at the National Cranberry Cooperative’s receiving plant number 1 (RP1), overtime costs are too high and delivery trucks and their drivers have to wait several hours to unload. The trucks have to wait because the plant’s holding bins fill up and there is not temporary storage. The holding bins fill up because within the cranberry operating system there is a bottleneck, a place in the production process where production slows down because of a slow or insufficient number of machines. This bottleneck is being caused by the lower relative capacity of the dryers. Relieving the bottleneck in the dryers by adding more dryers will allow the trucks to move through the dumping area more efficiently and decrease overtime costs in 1981.…

    Hydraulic Fracturing

    • 1087 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Hydraulic fracturing is a process within the mining and drilling industries used to increase the output of an underground fluid. Fracturing is used to access or augment productivity in petroleum, water and natural gas. The actual process is accomplished deep underground when a pressurized fluid is ejected from underground piping into the surrounding rock formations. The pressure of the fluid creates a crack in the rock which continues to expand as the pressure is applied. Solid additives in the pressurized fluid prevent the rupture from resealing once the pressure is alleviated. Sand and ceramics are commonly used as additives because their porous nature also allows the desired resource to travel to the piping. The increase in the size and number of underground networks due to the fracturing allows greater fluid output. In some instances the retrieval of an underground fluid would not be possible without the use of hydraulic fracturing. Shale reserves, located about 5,000 feet underground, suffer an exceptionally low permeability rate. Permeability is the measure of how well a fluid flows through a porous material. At that depth, and within such nonporous rock, the ability of fluids to travel to the well is greatly limited. Fracturing increases the area of the fluid that is exposed to porous materials and thus greatly increases production. The method of fracturing utilizes a few key components which allow for an economical extraction of resources.…

    Wells are drilled vertically hundreds to thousands of feet below the land surface. Fractures are created by pumping large quantities of fluids at high pressure down a wellbore and into the target rock formation. Hydraulic fracturing fluid commonly consists of water, proppant and chemical additives that open and enlarge fractures within the rock formation. These fractures can extend several hundred feet away from the wellbore. The proppants - sand, ceramic pellets or other small incompressible particles - hold open the newly created fractures. Once the injection process is completed, the internal pressure of the rock formation causes fluid to return to the surface through the wellbore. This fluid is known as both "flowback" and "produced water" and may contain the injected chemicals plus naturally occurring materials such as brines, metals, radionuclides, and hydrocarbons. The flow back and produced water is typically stored on site in tanks or pits before treatment, disposal or recycling. In many cases, it is injected underground for disposal. In areas where that is not an option, it may be treated and reused or processed by a wastewater treatment facility and then discharged to surface water.” (“The Process of Hydraulic…
