With no moving parts, no optical components, no requirement for a light source and no need to operate in a transparent medium, the Well Performance Eye™ offers a number of advantages over optical cameras.
Deployed on e-line, it can provide visualisations to surface of conditions inside and outside the well bore as either a movie or as 3D renderings. It can operate in temperatures up to 105o C and has a full 360o field of view. And it performs equally well in water or oil.
Key benefits
- The scanner has no moving parts
- Can investigate the well without having to change to clean fluids
- Diagnose completion performance issues prior to workover
- No chemicals are needed to condition the well
- Advanced 3-dimensional imaging capabilities for accurate analysis of downhole geometry
- Has better depth control accuracy than a traditional CCL
- Minimises damage to well coatings during inspection
- Can be combined with traditional PLT tools and LeakPoint™
Typical applications
Investigating the conditions inside a wellbore
- Deformation or collapse of tubing or casing
- Corrosion, erosion, fracturing of tubing or casing
- Identify and quantify deposits of scale, grease, wax, asphaltenes etc
- Detect and measure mechanical failures like parted tubing or connection failures
- Imaging of fish or unexpected hold up events
Investigating the conditions of sub assemblies
- Seal faces, flow tubes, pistons, springs etc. in sub-surface safety systems
- Wellhead, trees, BOP and valve inspection
- Gas lift valve inspection (scale, damage, open/closed)
- Sand screen inspection and fault detection
- Sliding Sleeves, Straddle Packers, Patches etc
Investigate the conditions of the production area
- Perforations status (open / filled with debris)
- Production perforations to determine size and location
- Fracture or wormhole propagation during stimulation
- Formation damage identification such as caverning or collapse
- Mapping of annular fill such as cement or gravel pack
