Well & Log Analysis ] [ Injection Logging (ILT) ]



Сased-hole logging technique assessing the borehole flow profile (PLT-BFP) and reservoir flow profile (PLT-RFP) in producing wells.

The survey is performed with a multi-sensor donwhole PLT Logging Tool and interpreted with PLT-BFP Model or PLT-RFP Model.

PLT is essential part of the production and recovery monitoring and helps understand fluid communication at wellbore ↔ reservoir contact.


For PLT in injection well see ILT, although it is often called PLT anyway.


Objectives



Picking up the fluid inflow intervals and phase characterization

Estimating flowrate of each phase component across each inflow interval
Check up for cross-flows in shut-in conditions between formation units with different formation pressure

Picking up the zones of the first barrier (tubing and/or casing) integrity failure



Both perforations are producing oil and water with upper interval producing more than lower.

The lower inflow zone is mostly producing water.
