Unconventional reservoirs generally consist of many stages with several perforations, which increases run time for the zonal flow rate calculation in the Techlog Production Logging plug-in. Techlog Production Logging 4.0 improves the zonal flow rate calculation by performing 10-times faster than before, which is also improved for conventionals. For unconventionals it now takes minutes, not hours, and for conventionals, it now takes seconds, not minutes.
Zonal flow rate calculation using the OLGA dynamic multiphase flow simulator has improved.
PIPESIM steady-state multiphase flow simulator version used for the well performance advisor (WPA) feature was upgraded from 2017.2 to 2018.1. WPA outputs are now easily accessible in various folders. Support to OpenField (a third-party tool) has been streamlined.
Added:
For Techlog 2018.1, 2018.2, and 2019.1, Production Logging 4.0 (as well as 3.0 and 3.1) is available in a 64-bit version and supports Windows 7 and Windows 10. WPA is available on Production Logging 4.0 with PIPESIM 2018.1
Techlog 2017.1 is only available with Production Logging 2.1
WPA is available on Production Logging 3.1 with PIPESIM 2017.2
Minimum and recommended hardware requirements are detailed in the Techlog Installation Guide 2018 and Techlog Installation Guide 2019.
Techlog Production Logging 4.0 is suitable for geoscientists and engineers, including petrophysicists, geologists, reservoir engineers, and production engineers.
The plug-in allows users to integrate production logging data with other petrophysical and geological information in the Techlog wellbore software platform.
