  • Patent number: 9181784
    Abstract: An apparatus for characterizing well effluents comprises coiled tubing, an artificial lift mechanism attached to the coiled tubing and a logging tool fitted with sensors capable of characterizing well effluents associated with operation of the artificial lift mechanism. Also a method for characterizing well effluents that includes lowering a logging tool fitted with a multitude of sensors capable of characterizing well effluents with a cable and lowering an artificial lift mechanism on coiled tubing capable of flowing well effluent past the logging tool. Further a method for treating a well including characterizing well effluents by lowering a logging tool fitted with a multitude of sensors capable of characterizing well effluents on a cable and lowering an artificial lift mechanism on coiled tubing capable of flowing well effluent past the logging tool; and injecting a treatment into a desired formation selected using information obtained while characterizing the well effluents.

  • Publication number: 20090234584
    Abstract: A method for calculating a property of a formation using one or more sensors lowered into a well on coiled tubing and surface well testing equipment that includes recording flow rate data using the surface well testing equipment; recording downhole pressure data using the one or more sensors lowered into a wellbore penetrating the formation on coiled tubing; transmitting the flow rate and downhole pressure measurements to a server, wherein the server is capable of collecting, storing and retransmitting the measurements; and transmitting the measurements to a processing unit, wherein the processing unit analyzes the measurements and calculates a property of the formation.
