Applications
Shale Oil
Oil and water mixed with gas, and large sand volumes after large-scale fracturing.
Typical depth range
3,000–5,000 m
Four phases, one instrument
0 to 100% gas fraction range
Continuous sand detection
What changes across the life of the well.
Water behaviour
Oil and water mixed with gas.
Sand behaviour
Large-scale fracturing produces large sand volumes. Desander needed.
Measurement implications.
Four phases, one instrument
0 to 100% gas fraction range
Continuous sand detection
Fracture clean-up produces the largest solids volumes the meter will ever see; per-well measurement keeps the clean-up visible.
All well conditions carry the potential for sand production and need continuous attention. Measuring solids as a phase rather than inferring them is what makes that possible.
Next step
Specify the NGM Series for your shale oil wells.
Send the conditions and an engineer reviews them, then comes back with a specified configuration.
