New technology enables operators to see and measure 100% of perfs

 


March 30, 2023




HOUSTON — EV, a provider of downhole visual analytics, has released its new ClearVision technology, which the company says is the world’s only integrated array video and phased array ultrasound scanning tool. 

 

ClearVision is designed to combine 360-degree video and phased array ultrasound technologies to offer advanced 4D evaluation system for wellbore applications. By marrying these technologies, ClearVision enables operators to see and measure 100% of perforations, including small dimension perforations and those plugged with sand. This accuracy delivers unambiguous information regarding perforation erosion and proppant placement trends, which the company says empowers engineers to improve frac designs for better well performance and increased hydrocarbon production.

 

EV says, "ClearVision’s video array offers superior axial and circumferential measurement accuracy as well as the radial geometry and pipe thickness measurements of its ultrasound scanner, delivering comprehensive insights regarding erosion trends and proppant placement." ClearVision is designed to capture the most complete perforation evaluation dataset with accuracy in all well conditions. This provides the most complete, accurate and reliable dataset that enables operators to completely trust their data to correctly identify erosion variability trends that would otherwise be unobtainable, the company said.

 

The improved reservoir stimulation enabled by ClearVision is field proven in the Permian Basin to deliver an additional $1.4 million of production revenue per well in one year alone, and operational cost savings of over $350,000 per well.

 

EV told Offshore the new technology also has offshore applications and that ClearVision can be used to inspect safety valves, sand screens and other completion components.

 

ClearVision’s data and analytical results are delivered via a custom-built, cloud-based data interpretation and visualization system called the EV Web Portal, which provides simultaneous global access to real-time results. The web portal was released March 23.
