Title:
DAS DATA PROCESSING TO IDENTIFY FLUID INFLOW LOCATIONS AND FLUID TYPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/109426
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of identifying inflow locations along a wellbore comprises obtaining an acoustic signal from a sensor within the wellbore, determining a plurality of frequency domain features from the acoustic signal, and identifying, using a plurality of fluid flow models, a presence of at least one of a gas phase inflow, an aqueous phase inflow, or a hydrocarbon liquid phase inflow at one or more fluid flow locations. The acoustic signal comprises acoustic samples across a portion of a depth of the wellbore, and the plurality of frequency domain features are obtained across a plurality of depth intervals within the portion of the depth of the wellbore. Each fluid flow model of the plurality of fluid inflow models uses one or more frequency domain features of the plurality of the frequency domain features, and at least two of the plurality of fluid flow models are different.
