Fluid-Level Determinations Through Internal Flush Tubing Without Depth, Temperature, or Pressure Limitations

Potential hazards of wireline exposures to hostile CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/S environments often discourage running bottom hole pressure (BHP) surveys. While surface pressure build-ups may be utilized for dry-gas wells, detailed analyses may be of limited value where there is also liquid production. However, concurrent fluid level determinations can be used to enhance the value of surface build-ups. Other practical applications of fluid level determinations include a means of monitoring liquid loading or depths of fluid displacement, such as encountered during some stimulation or corrosion inhibition treatments. Detailed testing, of a recently developed high-pressure acoustical well sounder, verifies that fluid levels can now be determined even under the most adverse well conditions.
