Title:
WATER CUT RATE OF CHANGE ANALYTIC METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003104752
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of measuring a water effect on an underground non-water well includes the steps of assembling a history of water cut (WC) measurements for the well over an extended period of time, determining a water cut rate of change (R) for the well based upon the history of water cut measurements, wherein the water cut rate of change is defined as follows: (formula 1); d(WC) d(t) and identifying whether an anomaly exists based on the determined R.
