Raptor-COWhy use four detectors?

• We have four detectors instead of two. Which do you use for the CO measurement?


Raptor-Sigma Why use four detectors?

• We have four detectors instead of two. Which do you use for the sigma measurement?g


Hardware Summary

• Larger Detector Array

Senses more formation volume – Most sensitive tool in the industry

• New Detector Type

Fastest detector in the industry – High count rates, faster loggingy g , gg g

Brightest detector in the industry – Less noise, more signal

• Sensitivity Calibration System

Multi-point calibrator – More accuracy, more confidence

• EfficiencyEfficiency

Combinability – PN+Bond+PL

Memory Operation – Field Test in 2013

New Algorithm Development

• Raptor-CO

New formation-view technique – Proof that the tool is seeing the formation

New shale and mineralogy handling – Lime, dolomite, sand, shale

• Raptor N-Vision Measurement (Gas Saturation Measurement)

Measurement method not based on CO or Sigma

Saturations are determined by measuring pore fluid density:

Basis for the Raptor-Gas product for gas saturation p p g

• Raptor-Sigma

Diffusion corrected sigma (available 2012) – High accuracy sigma

Characterization

Algorithms


Characterization Problems in Artificial Pits

• Most conditions are impossible to characterize in artificial formation pits:

– Gas formations– Gas behind tubing– Foam cement– Formation gas and oil of variable density– Tubing and packers– EOR processes (floods, WAG, SAGD, CO2, N2)– Condensate– Washouts

D illi fl id– Drilling fluids– Screens– Gravel packs– Blast joints

Horizontal wellbores– Horizontal wellbores– High-angle wellbores– Invasion effects– Partial saturation values– Partial or mixed borehole holdup values


Partial or mixed borehole holdup values– Coning/cresting

Raptor Characterization with Monte Carlo Modeling

• Single-well, high-fidelity response characterization

– Each well is characterized for:

• Hole size

• Casing size, weight

• Sand, Lime, Dolomite

• Borehole fluid density/salinity

• Formation oil density

• Tubing strings

• Tubing/annulus fluids






Characterization

Algorithms


Example – Measuring Formation Gas Saturation in a Problem Gas Reservoir

• Problems

– Complex completions (logging behind production tubing in largeComplex completions (logging behind production tubing in large boreholes)

– Mixed salinity: sigma is unreliable

– Variable shales

– We want:

• Gas saturation

• Identification of thin bed pay
