Interferance tests
Reservoir Management
ScanWell’s Acoustic Gradient Survey and tracer-based flow metering enable interference tests with portable, non-intrusive equipment, eliminating wireline intervention and production deferment for efficient downhole pressure monitoring.
Interference tests
Traditional Interferance Tests require bulky production monitoring stations and intervention based gauge runs via wireline to monitor for downhole pressure response in observation wells. Using ScanWell’s innovative Acoustic Gradient Survey Technology, combined with portable Tracer based flow metering systems, intereferance tests can be conducted with highly portable equipment, zero intervention and no production deferement.
An interference test is a multi-well method in the oil and gas industry used to assess whether two or more wells are in pressure communication within the same reservoir. In this process, one well (the active well) is either produced from or injected into, while pressure responses are monitored in nearby observation wells. Pressure changes in the observation wells indicate reservoir connectivity, helping estimate key reservoir properties such as vertical permeability and porosity/compressibility.
This test is valuable for understanding well behavior in water flood and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. Unlike traditional interference tests, which rely on bulky monitoring stations and intervention-based gauge runs, ScanWell’s Acoustic Gradient Survey Technology and portable tracer-based flow metering systems enable interference tests to be performed with minimal equipment, no intervention, and no production downtime.
