MULTIPHASE ARRAY PRODUCTION LOGGING TOOL
The Multiphase Array Production Logging Tool has been designed to address deficiencies
in the first generation of production logging tools intended to quantify multiphase flow in highly deviated or horizontal wells.
The platform forms a circumferential array of six multi-sensor arms.
Each arm performs the following measurements:
- Water Hold Up: Capacitance - Resistivity
- Gas Hold Up: Density - Acoustics
- Flow: Spinner - Fast Response Temperature
These measurements are made just below the arms, close to the lining wall,
providing a complete profile of the fluids through the well.
The sensors are all in close proximity,
ensuring that you are measuring both phase and velocity in real time during the measurement interval.
Water Hold Up
To differentiate between water and hydrocarbons (oil or gas),
the system employs an array of six capacitance sensors and six “four-electrode” micro-resistance sensors.
The combination of these sensors provides a quantitative measure of water retention
and through the use of correlation techniques velocity data can be provided.
Gas Hold Up
To differentiate between liquids and gases, a proprietary sensor has been developed that measures the density of the fluid.
This provides a very high contrast between liquids (oil or water) and gas.
A series of six of these sensors are placed circumferentially around the wellbore providing localized identification of gas entrainment.
Flow Velocity
In each of the six arms, there is a small diameter turbine flowmeter to measure the local flow velocity.
The flowmeter uses jewel-type bearings and a low-mass impeller to improve sensitivity.
In addition to the flow meter, a fast response RTD is also available to monitor small changes in temperature due to fluid entering the well
Features and Applications
- Multiphase flow profiling in horizontal and highly deviated wells
- Identification of fluid and gas inlets.
- Improved measurement reliability and integrity compared to first generation multiphase flow tools.
* All sensor measurements are simultaneous in the same depth range.
* The radial position of the arm is "placeable".
* Combinable with one or more MAPLT and other “Open Architecture” Spartek Tool Bus tools.
* Tool rotation improves coverage and provides measurement redundancy.
* Integrated RB sensor for orientation information.
* Cross-correlation in speed measurements.
* Multiple fluid identification measurements to improve redundancy.
COMPACT PRODUCTION LOGGING TOOL (CPLT)
The SS8335 Compact Production Logging Tool (CPLT) provides the most common measurements
for basic troubleshooting production logging applications.
The tool is easily equipped for pipeline leak detection, or for determining the efficiency of gas lift valve operations.
Although the basic package consists of a memory controller, casing collar locator, pressure transducer and temperature sensor,
any flowmeter (full bore, in-line, or continuous) can be easily attached to provide the best measurement of fluid velocity in a particular completion. The CPLT is scalable, meaning other production logging sensors can be connected to the basic instrument as applications require.
For example, if a multi-stage production profile is required fluid composition sensors
they can be connected to the CPLT without any change in technology.
Once any instrument is connected to the CPLT, the two-way communications link allows operator to query each sensor at any time
for configuration parameters, password, such as its serial number and position in the tool chain.
This feature combined with the SparWorks software database architecture largely automates setup and calibration procedures before each survey.

MULTI - FINGER CALIPER
Multi-Finger Caliper (MFC) has 24 to 60 high-resolution calipers that measure the internal radii of the well casing and tubing.
Precise measurements, it can be manufactured in tubular sizes from 1.75 inches to 9.63 inches in diameter.
The MFC uses a series of "non-contact" displacement sensors and a corresponding number of measuring fingers.
By moving along the inner wall of the casing, the radial displacement will become an axial displacement of the sensor, which is then processed, encoded, and transferred to the surface system where the casing image will be obtained.
The MFC can be used to detect casing deformation, bending, fractures, voids, scale deposits, paraffin build-up
and inner wall corrosion with high precision.

SPECTRAL GAMMA RAY
The SS8230 Spectral Gamma Ray (SGR) is a high resolution, temperature compensated, digital downhole pulse height spectrum analyzer.
It has been designed to measure both naturally occurring radioactive isotopes
and common radioactive tracers used for fracture monitoring and other applications.
Naturally occurring radioactive isotopes such as potassium, uranium, radium series,
and thorium series they have characteristic gamma ray energies in the range 0.1 MeV to 3.0 MeV.
Analyzing the acquired spectra provides an improved evaluation of the formation (shales, sandstones, carbonates, dolomites, etc.)
via casing versus using the raw counts from a gamma ray tool.
In a cased-hole environment, SGR is commonly used to evaluate the location and effectiveness of well simulation operations.
and sand control operations by tracking tracers that are injected with proppant.
Common radioactive tracers include Iridium 192, Scando 46, and Antimony 124.
These isotopes also have characteristic gamma energies in the range of 0.1 MeV to 3 MeV.
Processing of the spectral data acquired by the SparWorks application software is provided.
Currently the software provides a peak to determine the Compton ratio if the measurement is primarily
from within of the casing or other form of spectral removal and the rate of individual count of spectrum energy windows.
The spectral elimination algorithm supports a maximum of three isotopes.

CASING INSPECTION TOOL (CIT)
Preventing well integrity failures is critical.
A failure can result in lost production, contamination and costly repairs. The first step in prevention
is to monitor wells to determine if corrosion, erosion or geological deformation has compromised the integrity of the well.
If defects in well integrity are known
before become catastrophic, cheap corrective action
can be implemented to extend the life and net benefit of the well.
The Casing Inspection Tool (CIT) uses leakage magnetic flux technology to determine changes in the thickness of the pipe wall.
This is the same technology that is used in monitoring most pipelines. The technology can measure metal loss both internally and externally.
High resolution full radial coverage
• 80 to 160 circumferential sensors
• 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) for an isolated well
• 20% wall thinning
High vertical sampling
• 200 samples / sec
• 0.125 inch (3.2 mm) sampling at 120 feet per minute.
Repeatability +/- 10%
The CIT's magnetic circuit was modeled extensively
to ensure that the design provides
the necessary magnetic field strength to saturate the case.
Depending on the size of the casing,
the MFL sensor section has 8 to 16 pads.
Each pad has 8 magnetic field sensors
to measure magnetic flux leakage independent of logging speed
and two shallow discriminator measurements
to determine if the flow leakage measurement is internal or external.
Together with a high-speed memory section,
CIT provides the highest resolution 3D image of casing integrity.
Primary Characteristics
Tubular inspection for internal and external corrosion (metal loss).
MFL sections optimized for larger shell sizes.
Fast surface reading interpretation with high resolution memory data or operation only memory.
Combinable with a Multi-Finger Gauge Tool for ID information.
Compatible with the "Warrior" logging system built by Scientific Data Systems
SEGMENTED CEMENT BOND TOOL
The Segmented Cement Bond Tool (SCBT) provides the operator
with an accurate and economical means of inspecting the quality of the cement bond to the casing and formation.
The SCBT evaluates the quality of the cement joint and integrity to both the pipe and the formation
by providing the measurements of the cement bond amplitude (CBL) through the near receiver (3-ft crystal)
and variable density logging (VDL) through the far receiver (Crystal 5-ft).
Depending on the size of the tool, the SCBT has six to twelve segmented receivers.
These radial receivers are used to provide a high resolution map of the cement.
The same link measurement is available as an analog tool and a high-speed digital tool.
In the digital tool all sonic data is digitally captured and stored within 2 ms, allowing flexibility of outbound telemetry.
This tool is easily configured according to the requirements of the clients.
The separate acquisition and output module allows changes to the output telemetry to be easily accomplished.
The analog tool requires ten cycles to transmit all data to the surface and this requires a slower recording speed for the same vertical resolution. Both tools are designed for high temperature and high pressure environments.
Soon this tool will also be available with an interface to the "open architecture" Tool Bus. which allows for memory operations and SRO.
Applications
Evaluation of the quality and integrity of the cement bond.
Location of free pipe and cement stop.
360° cement map main features
