Well Performance Eye

The Well Performance Eye uses ultrasound technology to capture and provide to surface a visualisation of conditions downhole - both inside and outside the well bore

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
