Applications
Tight Gas
Short stable production and fast decline, so multi-parameter response has to keep up.
Typical depth range
400–2,800 m
Four phases, one instrument
0 to 100% gas fraction range
Continuous sand detection
What changes across the life of the well.
Water behaviour
Short stable production and fast decline, so multiple parameters must be replaced and the flow meter bore changed.
Sand behaviour
Large-scale fracturing allows short-term sand production, monitored and measured simultaneously.
Measurement implications.
Four phases, one instrument
0 to 100% gas fraction range
Continuous sand detection
Fast decline means the producing mix changes within weeks; a meter valid across the full gas fraction range stays valid without reconfiguration.
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 tight gas wells.
Send the conditions and an engineer reviews them, then comes back with a specified configuration.
