Pulsed neutron spectroscopy logs add value to steam flood management process by monitoring oil saturation in kern river field, california

摘要

A PNS logging program was designed to evaluate the economic potential of vertical steam flood expansion and to identify bypassed oil, based on a comparison of oil saturations from a Pulsed Neutron Spectroscopy (PNS) log to conventional core in a Kern River field well. In the comparison, PNS log oil saturations agreed with those from conventional core within +-5.4 saturation units 68
