WELL TESTING METHOD USING TUBING HANGER DEPLOYED APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18059931 titled 'WELL TESTING METHOD USING TUBING HANGER DEPLOYED APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for well testing using a tubing hanger deployed apparatus. The method involves shutting in a well, connecting a pressure control system and a tool string to an adapted tubing hanger plug, installing the system and plug into a borehole, opening the borehole for fluid flow, measuring the flow rate and physical properties of the fluid flow, closing safety valves, retrieving the plug and tool string, and downloading data for analysis.
- Shut in well and connect pressure control system and tool string to tubing hanger plug
- Install system and plug into borehole
- Measure flow rate and physical properties of fluid flow
- Close safety valves, retrieve plug and tool string, download data
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in oil and gas well testing, reservoir evaluation, and production optimization.
Problems Solved
The technology helps in accurately measuring flow rates and physical properties of fluid flow in a well, ensuring safety during testing operations, and optimizing production processes.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved well testing accuracy, enhanced safety measures, and increased efficiency in production operations.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized by oil and gas companies, well testing service providers, and reservoir engineering firms for efficient well testing and production optimization.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional well testing methods using separate tools for measuring flow rates and physical properties, which may not be as integrated and efficient as the disclosed tubing hanger deployed apparatus.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing well testing methods?
The article does not provide a direct comparison with traditional well testing methods using separate tools for measuring flow rates and physical properties.
What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology?
The article does not address any potential limitations or challenges that may arise in implementing the tubing hanger deployed apparatus for well testing.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and a method for well testing using a tubing hanger deployed apparatus are disclosed. The method includes shutting in a well and connecting a pressure control system and a tool string to an adapted tubing hanger plug; installing the pressure control system, the tool string, and the adapted tubing hanger plug into a borehole; opening the borehole for a fluid flow; measuring a flow rate of the fluid flow through the borehole using a flowmeter; and measuring physical properties of the fluid flow with sensors on the tool string. The method further includes closing a surface safety valve and optionally closing a subsurface safety valve; retrieving the adapted tubing hanger plug and the tool string; and downloading data for analysis of the flow rate and physical properties measured.
