Recent years have seen a step change in the
complexity of wells with multiple zones, phases and
deviation ranging from vertical to horizontal. This
has led to the development of esoteric logging tools
with multiple arrays attempting to describe complex
flow regimes by giving a spatial mapping of the flow
characteristics. Masses of data are created that
need visualization, QA/QC and analysis. It is not a
straightforward process. It is easy to succumb to the
temptation of a ‘black box’ that will do some clever
statistical stuff to produce a solution that matches
perfectly all data to hand. With the complexity of the
physical problem, and the simplicity of the models,
a perfect match only means that a trick is used
internally by means of additional degrees of freedom,
not necessarily obvious to the user. Production log
interpretation is not rate measurement. The key to
the process is in the name: Interpretation. Engineers
interpret, machines do not. The engineer must control
the software not the other way around.
Emeraude offers the user the choice of both zoned
and continuous processing. Data from the simplest
injector string to the most complex multiprobe tools
(
MPT), such as Schlumberger FSI™ and GE Sondex
MAPS™, are handled in an open, streamlined
workflow with an unparalleled range of tools for
displaying, editing and handling data. There are no
‘
black boxes’ no hidden processing. Recent additions
include an ‘energy’ temperature model to simulate
reservoir thermal behavior; this can be applied to
steam injection tests, leak detection design and DTS
data interpretation. Additional options include multi-
rate PL and SIP, water saturation (PNL) monitoring,
permeability correction, formation test QA/QC and
multilayer rate export to Saphir.
‘
Having the software onmy workstation hasmeant service
companies know I can look very closely at the data. It has
meant a significant increase in log analysis quality. It is now
a common platform of communication between us.’
‘
The continuous processing is something some clients
insist upon. I really did not want to purchase and learn
another package. Now I have the choice of processing in
one software.’
With over 1,100 active licenses, KAPPA Emeraude is the industry standard
software platform for production log interpretation, shared between all major
service companies, most operating companies and independent contractors
worldwide. Data from any PL string can be analyzed; from the simplest injector
to the most complex multi-probe strings run in multiphase horizontal wells.
