Abstract

See full text

A monitoring tool is provided for monitoring wells for flow anomalies. The temperatures of flowing well fluid and ambient temperature are monitored and various methods applied to indicate if a well is normal flowing, at risk of flow stoppage or cessation of flow. Approaches are described for determining trending indicators from actual flow temperatures compared to a normal flow relationship for establishing the presence of flow anomalies. Temperature sensors, onsite processors and communications upload data for display of well status flags on a mapping module enabling pro-active detection and preventative action by operators.
