Downhole Video Optimizes Scale-Removal Program

Abstract: TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractIn fields with potential for scale buildup, downhole video offers a unique and cost effective method for obtaining direct visual data of scale in the wellbore environment. In a recent study, Chevron successfully used downhole video logging to obtain actual images of scale deposits in producing wells. These images were used to design and optimize a scale removal program in the West Coalinga field of Central California.

“…In West Coalinga, both laboratory analysis and downhole video were used extensively to quantify the impact of formation damage on production. 13 After setting up a series of field trials, multiple wells were imaged under different producing environments. The images clearly showed the extent of scale and organic precipitation inside the wellbore.…”
