Advantages -- Basket Flowmeter
Advantages -- Basket Flowmeter
 The Basket measures low flow rates in large diameter
pipes.
 The Basket diverts and mixes flow to get a better
mixture velocity response.
 Will measure positive RPS where the CSFM & FIFM will
measure negative RPS from fallback.
 Still will respond negatively to fallback in some circumstances.
 Mixing of fluid helps the Fluid Identification
measurements in Segregated flow.
22
Basket Flowmeter -- Logging Proc’s
Basket Flowmeter -- Logging Proc’s
 Stationary measurements are made above
and below fluid entries.
 Stationary measurements have a threshold of
50 to 100 BPD fluid production.
 A continuous up run with an open Basket
Flowmeter provides a lower threshold and
more discretely identifies the depth of fluid
entries.
23
Limitations -- Basket Flowmeter

casing.
 16,000 plus BGPD, 79 BWPD in 7 inch casing.
 80 RPS basket response (Upper limit approx. 200 RPS)

Measurement Principles -- FDN
Measurement Principles -- FDN
 The Fluid Density instrument incorporates a
collimated Gamma Ray source and Gamma Ray
Detector separated by a window in the instrument
that is open to the wellbore fluids. The Gamma Rays
must travel through the wellbore fluids. The number
of Gamma Rays detected, counts per second (CPS),
are inversely related to the Density of the wellbore
Fluids. The relationship is accurately established by
calibrating in air and water.

 The Fluid Capacitance functions as a variable
capacitor. It is constructed with two surfaces acting
as the plates of the capacitor with the wellbore fluid
between these surfaces. The capacitance is
related to the dielectric constant of the fluid
between its’ plates. The capacitance influences the
output frequency of a pulse generator. Therefore
the measured pulse frequency is related to the
dielectric constant of the fluids.

 The Non-Focused Density is similar to the
Fluid Density. It utilizes a Gamma Ray
source that radiates outside the body of the
instrument. The measured countrate is
influence by surrounding borehole fluid
density, hardware and possibly formation.
The interpretation must consider hardware
and formation effects.

 There are two primary things that affect the
measured sound energy.
 Pressure drop dictates the source sound level
 Attenuation decrease the source sound level as
the sound travels through surrounding medium to
the microphone.
 Sound attenuates more in gas than in liquid.

 The Tracer instrument uses one or two gamma ray
detectors. It has an internal reservoir that is filled with a
radioactive Oil, Water or Gas soluble fluid. A motor is
used to displace small amounts of radioactive liquid into
the wellbore fluid. This is monitored by the gamma ray
detectors in two different ways.
 The RA material can be monitored with multiple logging passes.
 The velocity of the RA material is measured with stationary
recording of the travel time between detectors.

85
Measurement Principles
Measurement Principles
 The Hydrolog instrument incorporates a linear accelerator for
producing 14 MeV neutrons. The interaction of the neutrons
with oxygen in the water produces a radioactive isotope with
a half-life of 7.13 seconds. This radioactive tracer produces
gamma rays with energies of 6.13 MeV and 7.12 MeV that
are detectable by two gamma ray detectors positioned above
the neutron source. Movement of the radioactive water past
the gamma ray detectors causes an increase in the
measured gamma ray countrates. From the increase in
countrate at each detector the water velocity can be
determined.

    39 Measurement Principles --FDN Measurement Principles -- FDN  The Fluid Density instrument incorporates a collimated Gamma Ray source and Gamma Ray Detector separated by a window in the instrument that is open to the wellbore fluids. The Gamma Rays must travel through the wellbore fluids. The number of Gamma Rays detected, counts per second (CPS), are inversely related to the Density of the wellbore Fluids. The relationship is accurately established by calibrating in air and water.

  • 43.
    43 Measurement Principles --FCAP Measurement Principles -- FCAP  The Fluid Capacitance functions as a variable capacitor. It is constructed with two surfaces acting as the plates of the capacitor with the wellbore fluid between these surfaces. The capacitance is related to the dielectric constant of the fluid between its’ plates. The capacitance influences the output frequency of a pulse generator. Therefore the measured pulse frequency is related to the dielectric constant of the fluids.

  • 45.
    45 Measurement Principles --DPFD Measurement Principles -- DPFD  The Differential Pressure Fluid Density measures the wellbore pressure at two points a fixed distance apart. The difference in the measured pressures is a function of the wellbore fluid density and the True Vertical Distance between the sensors.

It utilizes a Gamma Ray source that radiates outside the body of the instrument. The measured countrate is influence by surrounding borehole fluid density, hardware and possibly formation. The interpretation must consider hardware and formation effects.

    85 Measurement Principles Measurement Principles The Hydrolog instrument incorporates a linear accelerator for producing 14 MeV neutrons. The interaction of the neutrons with oxygen in the water produces a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 7.13 seconds. This radioactive tracer produces gamma rays with energies of 6.13 MeV and 7.12 MeV that are detectable by two gamma ray detectors positioned above the neutron source. Movement of the radioactive water past the gamma ray detectors causes an increase in the measured gamma ray countrates. From the increase in countrate at each detector the water velocity can be determined.

Editor's Notes

  • #14 Holdup is most commonly denoted by: Y or 
  • #31 Vary logging speed as much as possible to obtain the best linear regression.
  • #34 Slopes can change at different intervals due to changes in the fluid. Typical Slope should be 3 RPS/100 ft/min or greater.
  • #37 Water is always present even when no water production is documented.
  • #40 Countrates in air and water are used to calibrateto grams/cc using an exponential fit.
  • #63 Initial fluid temperature and Delta P dictate the flowing temperature. (cooling or warming) Mass flowrate dictates what happens above (production) or below (downflow/injection) the fluid source or presssure drop.
  • #72 Can locate very small leaks that are unmeasureable by any other devices.
  • #73 Stationary recordings are made at different times. If the well is not stable some anomalies may be misinterpreted. In order to prove an anomaly is depth related and not time related at least one repeat is necessary of the stations surrounding this anomaly.
  • #75 Noise changes may be due to changes in the transmission medium and not noise sources.
  • #76 Single phase flow is dominated by high frequencies.
  • #77 Two phase flow is represneted by high low frequency repsonse. Take note of the logarithmic scale
  • #78 Attenuation of the analog signal varies with frequency and line type and length.
  • #98 Slip Velocity charts have been impirically derrived under several different conditions. Because of the inconsistencies in charts and downhole conditions affective use of these charts is limitted.
