 Production Profile Log

Production profile logging ： Obtain the

variation of the flow rate in each perforation,
water production intervals and gas inlets etc,
thus providing basis for taking stimulation
treatments.

Injection profile logging ： Obtain the

movement of the inject fluid or gas, the
absorption quantity in each perforation and
analysis of injection-production relation.

1.1 Purpose

a. Calculate water, oil and gas rate of each

pay zone.
b. Judge whether the sliding sleeve shuts or Three-phase flow
not and estimate which zone is primary
water production layer.
c. Determine gas production zone.
d. Make sure the fluid level and production
pressure by measuring whole interval.
e. Make sure whether there is crossflow in
the shut-in state.

 PLT-Quality control
GR: Repeat measurements curves have similar shape, and the curves are
consistent with the original gamma curves.
CCL: Curves change significantly, downhole tools such as sleeves and packers
have obvious characteristics.
Spinner: Good correlation, stability logging speed and no cross and abnormal.
Density: Good repeatability, curves change significantly around the interface of
oil and water, gas and water, oil and gas and the gas outlet orifice.
Capacitance: Curves change stable in the zero-flow interval, in the oil-water
interface, gas-water interface have significant changes.
Pressure: Good repeatability, no significant abnormality.
Temperature: Have significantly change in the liquid outlet orifice, shut-in curves
have the same trend with the temperature curves when the well is produce.
