Abstract

See full text

A method includes shutting in a well and connecting a pressure control system and a tool body to an adapted tubing hanger plug. The pressure control system, tool body, and adapted tubing hanger plug are installed into a borehole, which is then opened for fluid flow. A flow rate of the fluid flow is measured with a spinner. Temperature spikes are generated using a thermal generator, and a time for the temperature spikes to travel from the thermal generator to a temperature probe is measured. A flow rate of the fluid flow is calculated based on the time. Further, physical properties of the fluid flow are measured with sensors disposed within an electronics section of the tool body. Surface and subsurface safety valves are closed, and the adapted tubing hanger plug and the tool body are retrieved from the borehole. Data is downloaded for analysis.
