Idle Well Reactivation
ScanWell offers cost-effective, interventionless solutions for idle well reactivation, delivering real-time data on fluid levels, pressure, and flow dynamics. Our advanced monitoring tools optimize planning and execution, ensuring efficient, safe, and successful reactivation operations that enhance production and asset value.
Idle Well Reactivation with Advanced Data Gathering and Monitoring
Idle well reactivation is a critical operation in maximizing the value of existing assets, requiring precise planning, execution, and monitoring to ensure success. At ScanWell, our approach emphasizes comprehensive data acquisition and real-time surveillance to support each phase of reactivation, from initial evaluation to final execution.
1. Data Gathering for Planning
The reactivation process begins with a thorough assessment of the well’s current state. Key data such as fluid levels, bottom-hole pressure (BHP), and gas composition are essential to understand the well’s condition and identify potential challenges. Using our advanced acoustic surveillance systems, operators can obtain accurate and non-invasive measurements of fluid levels and pressure gradients, even in wells without existing instrumentation. This information is used to:
- Evaluate well integrity and reservoir conditions.
- Identify potential flow obstructions or damage.
- Estimate production potential and select suitable reactivation techniques (e.g., acidizing, gas lift, or hydraulic fracturing).
2. Real-Time Monitoring
During Execution
Once a reactivation plan is in place, real-time monitoring becomes crucial to ensure smooth operations. ScanWell’s interventionless acoustic systems and portable tracer-based flow meters provide operators with continuous insights during the reactivation process, enabling:
- Pressure Surveillance: Monitoring BHP and fluid levels in real-time to verify well response and identify any anomalies.
- Flow Characterization: Tracing and analyzing injected fluids or gas for effective mapping of wellbore flow patterns and well integrity condition.
- Operational Adjustments: Adapting techniques in response to dynamic well conditions, minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency.
3. Ensuring Long-Term Success
Post-reactivation, ongoing data collection supports the evaluation of production performance and ensures that the well remains stable. ScanWell’s surveillance solutions offer a cost-effective means of gathering critical information to optimize production strategies and safeguard asset integrity.
By integrating robust data acquisition with continuous monitoring, ScanWell empowers operators to make informed decisions, minimize downtime, and maximize the success of idle well reactivation projects. This approach reduces uncertainties, improves operational efficiency, and ultimately enhances the value of the well and reservoir.
