Superior cementing prevents lost production
The Radial Bond Tool (RBT) facilitates a detailed, qualitative analysis of the zonal isolation achieved by cementing services. Effective hydraulic isolation from water-bearing formations is crucial to maximize the productivity of hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs. Poor cementing allows unwanted fluid transfers between zones, resulting in the potential for lost or unwanted production.
BHGE's Radial Bond Tool (RBT) facilitates a detailed, qualitative analysis of the zonal isolation
The RBT allows the detection of poor cement conditions before perforating enabling proactive, measures to be taken. Its size, rigid isolator and powerful transmitter allow robust operations. In addition to the traditional 3 ft amplitude and 5 ft VDL, the RBT has a radially segmented, calibrated amplitude measurement. This focuses the transmitted sonic pulse circumferentially, allowing the differentiation of small axial channels as opposed to poor or contaminated cement.
