Using fibre-optic distributed temperature measurements to provide real-time reservoir surveillance data on wytch farm field horizontal extended-reach wells

摘要

BP-Amoco operated Wytch Farm has installed fibre optic distributed temperature systems on 2 of their recent ERD (extended reach drilling) wells in order to provide real time reservoir surveillance. This novel new approach to reservoir monitoring has provided important information about the well and reservoir performance. This type of zonal contribution and fluid data would normally be acquired by running production logs on the end of coiled tubing at infrequent intervals, however the dual completion on Wytch Farm's M-12 well made conventional production logging impossible.
