In several deep, overpressured wells in Oklahoma and Louisiana, Apache Corp. has used photoelectric measurements provided by wireline density tools to aid in completion decisions. The information helped identify permeable zones in several tight formations; these zones were subsequently perforated, hydraulically fractured and successfully produced. Because formation conditions and small borehole sizes precluded running traditional micrologs as permeability indicators, the photoelectric information proved to be particularly valuable on these wells. The operating principles of the tool, supplied by Halliburton Energy Services, are presented here. And example applications in Caddo County, Oklahoma, and Jackson Parish, Louisiana, deep wells are presented.
