CONNATE WATER SATURATION
SWCT. Non-destructive, in situ method for measuring Swc.
Versatile. Can be carried out on 100% oil producing wells, in cased or open hole completions.
Deep investigation. Results typically represent hundreds of barrels of pore space in the test zone.
Precise. Swc results usually measured within ±2 saturation units.
OPERATIONAL STEPS
| 1. |
Inject oil or diesel plus ester tracer into 100% oil prodcution zone. |
| 2. |
Push ester farther into zone with more oil or diesel carrying
a material balance tracer. |
| 3. |
Shut in well for a two to ten day period. |
| 4. |
Produce well and analyze returning oil for tracer content. |
| 5. |
Calculate Swc from separation between reaction product alcohol
tracer and remaining ester tracer. |
