  • Publication number: 20090223291
    Abstract: A method of performing gravity surveys in a wellbore is described including performing a time-lapse measurement in a monitoring well in the vicinity of injector wellbores, determining a depth for which the difference of the time lapse measurements changes sign or crosses zero as depth of the anomaly; and using said measurements at other depth points to further determine one or more parameters relating to the location and/or size of a density anomaly caused by injecting fluids through said injector wellbores, thus enabling the sweep of an injected fluid including the occurrence of fingering in the formation.
