Abstract:
A bottomhole temperature and a bottomhole pressure in a well are measured by means of sensors mounted on a perforation string below all perforation intervals. The measurements are made prior to perforating the well and after perforating the well until a temperature of a produced fluid returns to an initial reservoir temperature. Then the temperature of the produced fluid is measured by means of temperature sensors mounted on the perforation string above each perforation interval and a total production rate of the well is estimated. An excessive thermal energy of the produced fluid is calculated for each temperature sensor mounted on the perforation string above the perforation intervals and production rates of the individual perforation intervals are determined based on the calculated excessive thermal energies of the produced fluid and the known number of perforating charges in each perforation interval.
Abstract:
A method for determining the profile of fluids inflowing into multi-zone reservoirs provides for a temperature measurement in a wellbore during the return of the wellbore to thermal equilibrium after drilling and determining a temperature of the fluids inflowing into the wellbore from each pay zone after perforation at an initial stage of production. Specific flow rate for each pay zone is determined by a rate of change of the measured temperatures.
Abstract:
A pressure in a wellbore and a temperature at least at one point of the wellbore are measured during wellbore testing. Transient profiles of temperature along the wellbore are determined and changes in a density of a downhole fluid and in a length of atubing when the wellbore is shut in are calculated. The pressure measurement results are corrected on the basis of the calculated changes in the density of the downhole fluid and in the length of the tubing.
Abstract:
Temperature is measured in a shut-in wellbore and rates of temperature change in depth intervals within productive layers and in depth intervals adjacent to the productive layers are determined. Areas are selected in the depth intervals within the productive layers wherein the rate of temperature change is significantly higher than the rate of change in the depth intervals adjacent to the productive layers. A numerical model of temperature change in the shut-in wellbore is created taking into account a filtration effect of a reservoir fluid on the rate of the temperature change in the shut-in wellbore. The measurement results are compared with the numerical modeling results, and their best match is used for determining a fluid filtration velocity in the selected areas in the depth intervals within the productive layers.
