Introduction
Production logging:
Qualitative and quantitative contribution measurement of each producing
interval in a well
Objective:
• Zonal contribution
• Cross flow detection
• Cross flow behind the casing
• Rate measurement (Test)
• Determining water production through casing leak and channel leak
• Determining free gas production
• Evaluating completion efficiency
• Providing guidance for workovers and enhanced recovery methods
Tools
Multiphase flow:
− Fluid density
Analysis Step 1 (Example J58-90B)
• From the shut in pass, pick a point where the cable speed is stable and RPS is
stable with no noise.

Analysis Step 3 (Example J58-90B)
Go to the flowing passes and start noting the correct cable speed, RPS and log density at each
station (also from LAS file):
Example : Station A @ 10920
FLOWING PASSES 385 370 360 357
• Draw the flowing lines parallel to the response line and record the y-
intercept:
• The y-intercept recorded is the v needed at each station

Analysis Step 5 (Example J58-90B)
• In the same table, record the velocities at 0 cable speed and RPS
• Go to the data analysis sheet and enter the needed data for the well:
− Chloride
− Water density
− Oil density
− Bw and Bo
− Pwf and BHFT
− Casing ID
• Most of the needed data can be acquired from the PVT of the well or form an offset
well
Enter the deviation, log density and velocities into the sheet and the rest is
calculated automatically

Analysis Step 8 (Example J58-90B)
• Conclusions:
Now, looking at the data calculated and the history of the well, verify
that the results are correct and then recommend further action.
In this case, the well 90B was just drilled, producing 5700 BFPD with
traces WC.
