TISA 3D
is a state-of–the-art, patented and revolutionary technology which
needs to be brought to deep oil and gas reservoirs in order to maximize
oil and gas recovery. These measurements will increase the data
density of these reservoirs immensely. Based on the Proof of Concept
performed by Delft University of Technology, the technology can be used
successfully in oil and gas reservoirs for different applications like monitoring, geosteering and wireline logging.
The
project, which started in September 2016, will cover 36 months in
total and is divided in two phases. Risk management is the primary
reason for this two-phase development
process. The two phases represent the best approach for evaluation of
all the risk factors, both technically and financially.
Phase 1: shallow prototype tool
The
prototype tool for shallow applications up to a depth of 30 m (phase
1) is being built at the moment. The system has been designed and a
number of components, such as the antenna module and the probe
controller have been manufactured. Other components have been selected
and bought. The winch is small, yet powerful enough to lift the
approximately 50 kg probe with 3 m per minute. The probe will be
suspended by a tripod on the surface.
At the moment the
radar sender and receiver are being manufactured. When these are ready
and tested, all components together will be tested for electromagnetic
interference and possible measures to prevent this will be taken. When
successful, all mechanical parts will be manufactured and the tool will
be assembled. The end product of phase 1 will be a fully operational
system in circumstances up to maximum 30 m depth under normal surface
level temperatures and very modest pressures.
The next phase: HPHT full service tool
In phase 2 (month 14-36) the tool will be developed into an HPHT full
service tool. All the necessary changes that need to be made to adapt
the tool to the HPHT (high-pressure high-temperature) circumstances,
will be included.
