Application of a Downhole Flowmeter to Detecting Casing Breaks in a Geothermal Well

Conference ·
OSTI ID:889107

The downhole flowmeter logging system for high temperature geothermal wells developed at Wairakei, New Zealand, is proving to be an invaluable tool for use during workovers to repair or reinstate problem wells. This contribution describes a straightforward example of identifying breaks in plain casing near the top of a productive well.
