| The
ability to dynamically observe temperature and pressure at the
production zone has provided valuable information. The most
common, and most significant finding is that bottom hole temperature
is nearly always lowered during production. |
|
| In
a well that had been in production for more than a year, we
observed that the bottom hole temperature was 8 degrees C below
the driller's reported value. That has been typical for all
wells but two, one a water-out horizontal and the other at the
edge of a steam flood, with the temperature before heat is applied
being 4 to 9 degrees C below expected values. |
|
| When
the MxL system is applied to an existing well, that has reserves
and adequate drive pressure, increased production can usually
be realized. |
