New downhole monitoring launched
Published 08.12.2009 10:03:31 by John Bradbury
Oilfield service giant Schlumberger has launched a new downhole monitoring service to provide data on movement of well fluids through the wellbore to help with production profiling, leak detection and evaluation of gas lifting.A the International Petroleum Technology conference in Doha, Schlumberger unveiled its new Opticall offering, billed as a thermal profile and investigation service based on using a fibre-optic line – installed via slickline well intervention process downhole - to provide data on dynamic temperatures.
The service has already been deployed for offshore applications, and on 250 wells in 11 countries, the company stated.
“The OPTICall service offers a low-risk, economical way to troubleshoot issues in all types of wells,” declared Claude Durocher, slickline business manager for Schlumberger.
