Optimization Training

Gas Migration Tests are conducted to determine if the well has a gas migration problem. For the purpose of this test, gas migration can be defined as the movement of methane or other gases from a subsurface zone to surface through a barrier that should prevent it’s movement, whether this barrier is natural (overburden, shale) or artificial (cement sheath, external casing packed, pipe joints, plug, etc.).

AER Annual required test for all types of Injection Wells.  The down hole packer is pressure tested using PIT’s portable pressure trailers and recorded.

Well Reservoir Inflow Monitoring acoustically determines fluid levels in a pumping well to determine producing bottomhole pressure or inflow patterns and pump performance.

PIT’s purpose built, CSA approved JAWS or FL1/FL2 recorders are used to measure accurate fluid levels in oil or gas wells. A great starting point to scan your field and focus where the potential is located.  

Allows Frac Van staff and engineers across the globe or in office towers to see what is happening to nearby wells as they pump. A growing service for PIT as regulation and concern around Fracking grows. Offset well monitoring service during frac simulations. Equipment used is the Calscan gauges with “Real Time” communication (similar to PSAT technology) allowing Frac Van staff and engineers across the globe or in offices to see what is happening to nearby wells as they pump. PIT uses a precision low power data recorder with integrated sensors used to measure and log pressure and temperature.

PIT feels that the value of regular inspections and effective operations in your well optimization is more important now than it may have ever been. PIT offers both standard and full inspections on wells. Standard Inspections should be performed at a minimum rate of every 6 months on SWEET Gas locations; for SOUR Gas locations PIT recommends starting with a quarterly location and then move to semi-annual if possible. Full Inspections should be performed at a minimum rate of every 12 months on SWEET Gas locations or Threaded Lubricators; for SOUR Gas locations or Flanged Lubricators PIT recommends starting with yearly inspections and then move to every two or more as required by historical data. Sour Wells • PIT recommends starting Standard Inspections quarterly and then moving to semi-annually if possible • PIT recommends starting Full Inspections yearly and then moving to every two or more as required by historical data

Surface Casing Vent Tests are conducted to categorize the vent flows for each location as serious or non serious based on the requirements of the AER.

A service offered by PIT to help ensure that the best decisions are made when optimizing a well; closely analyzes the different options of plunger lift systems, different sizes of flow tube, etc. for your application.  Evaluations allow us to examine the well and ensure all proper optimization solutions are considered and analyzed.  Reports can also identify where to land down hole equipment.
