“…During reciprocal logging tasks, the FSI instrumentation showcased inconsistencies in the quality and repeatability of rotor-derived information throughout sections 3-8 (down to 4600 m) alongside suboptimal data collection from probes 1, 3, and 4, affecting the veracity of the waterholding probes' output. However, FAST instruments registered standard rotatory data within the uppermost sections (3-7 (extending beyond 4700 m)), indicating environmental resilience, as well as superior-quality data collected across the subsequent segments (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21).…”

“…Despite the successful demonstration of fluid profile visualization via conventional logging tools in vertical wellbores, addressing the issue of phase separation [13], there are certain limitations in high-gradient or horizontal wells. Specifically, the upper portion tends to contain lighter phases [14], while the lower regions harbor heavier phases, particularly at the base of horizontal wellbores, where sedimentation phenomena can potentially occur.…”

Production logging (PL) instruments play a pivotal role in the comprehensive management and monitoring of oil and gas reservoirs. These devices facilitate the resolution of complex flow diagnosis challenges throughout the life cycle of hydrocarbon field exploitation. However, the advent of highly deviated well drilling technology has exposed certain limitations inherent in conventional centralized logging sensing techniques. When fluid flow within horizontal wells becomes segregated or even laminar, these traditional methods struggle to accurately decipher the zonal productions of oil, gas, and water. To address this challenge, multi-array production logging tools were developed in the late 1990s. Historically, these tools were characterized by considerable lengths, reaching up to 30 feet for an entire suite incorporating flow speed and holdup sensors that were not always collocated. Despite the integration of multiple sensors, uncertainties in determining flow profiles persisted. In this paper, we propose a novel integrated multi-parameter evaluation method based on measurements from a recently developed ultracompact flow array sensing tool, aimed at enhancing the accuracy of reservoir evaluation. The validity of the multi-parameter method is substantiated through a comparison of the new tool with an industry benchmark array PL tool on the same well. By combining the monitoring results, an optimization strategy for oil and gas extraction is presented, which is expected to improve the oil and gas recovery rate, thereby providing guidance for subsequent extraction endeavors. Moreover, we demonstrate how this innovative integrated workflow significantly enhances energy savings and efficiency, further underlining its value in modern oil and gas field management.
