Introduction:
Major applications of production logging are as follows:

 Detection of mechanical problems of the well
 Evaluation of completion efficiency
 Monitoring production and injection profiles
 Determining reservoir characteristics
 Evaluation of treatment effectiveness
 Detection of thief zones and channeled cement
Production logs are run by passing production log tools once or several
times in the borehole while the well is on production. The velocity,
Density, water holdup, temperature, and pressure of flowing fluid are
measured continuously. In addition, the natural Gamma ray (GR)
emitted by formation rock, well bore and/or tubing diameter, cable
speed, and casing collar locations are measured. These are basic
measurement, however some new measuring techniques have been
developed which add up to accuracy and certainty of measured
parameters. Production log tools have a series of sensor and
transducers for measuring the abovementioned properties directly or
indirectly.
Like all other sensors, sensors used in production logging have some in
accuracy, error, and noise in their measurements. The errors result in
incorrect interpretation and analysis. There are several methods for
removing noises, smoothing raw data, and filtering out unwanted
portions of data.
Workshop Preparation Procedures:
 Review the Job Order and all applicable down hole data provided by

the customer when determining the need to lubricate the BHA out.
Check dispatch order to find is the well contain of H2S? and if it is ,

how much is the value in PPM(Part Per Million ).
Check SCBA and EBA vessels , and make sure all of them are full

charged before take them away to the well site.
Talk to witness in charge of the well that you are preparing to go
about availability of reference log if he ask you to take it from main

office you have to put a time to go and take it to the well site.
Perform Pre‐Job Meeting and Hazard Assessment with all services.

 Apply check tools to make sure all the tools are in a good condition.

 During check tools operation ,make sure add and inject enough oil to
the flow meter spinner if the bearings of spinner are dirty use DW40 to
clean it then add silicon oil to it , there is a temperature chart that
shows mostly in low ambient temperature use of DW40 instead of
silicon oil is enough. after injection blow the air with your mouth to
turn it ,fins of spinner have to move smoothly .
 Know which type of spinner you have to use in wellbore , type of
spinner has direct portion to:
1. Is the well type gas well or oil well .
2. Production area is in open hole or case hole .
3. Is the well producing Sand and asphalt?
4. ID of open hole and case hole.
5. Is casing or liner has tight hole?
6. Well has low pressure or high pressure?
7. Is the well deviated well or vertical well?
Notices:
 If the casing or liner in wellbore has tight hole you can not
use cage spinner because whenever this cage reach to that
area will close and cause spinner stop turning.
 In deviated wells use CFBM(6 Arm Spinner) ,of course we can
use it minimum in 5” liners .
 In low pressure production wells use smooth spinners.
 If you are using CFS(continues flow meter spinner)centralize
it in wellbore because it doesn’t have centralizer by itself, put
one caliper tool upper near the CFS, this tool mostly use in
tubing and casings due to small OD.
 Another tool that you should make sure have enough oil and it’s clean
is QPC tool ,there are two orifices that are sealed by two screws ,first
open the screws then add some silicon oil to pass from those holes
then blow to those holes by your mouth and make sure both holes are
clean.
 Make sure you add enough oil to the caliper tools and centralizers ,use
your hand and push that parts.
 Check insulation and continuity of 7/32” cable, before start , remove
the mono cable from slip ring.
 Simulate and test grease injector system and pumps in workshop
before go to well site.
 Grease type to be use in grease injector has following characteristics:
Name: PLUSCO 428 , Type : Premium High Temperature Wireline
Grease Seal ,Contains Corrosion And H2S Inhibitors , Made in U.S .

This Plan shows schematic position of logging truck, crane, lubricators
1) Spot the logging truck ,crane like top schematic pic , depend on well head
area adjust the positions of truck and crane.
2) Spool down the logging cable as spiral waves like top schematic pic.

3) Assign one operator to be in charge of well head and connecting the parts on
it.
4) With cooperation of well head in charge persons(house keeper guys),install
the flange, release sub, BOP, flapper.
Notice:
While connecting the release sub, cover it’s thread by thread protector tape
(Teflon Tape)
5) Set up lower sheave by slings beside the well head equipment.
6) Pass the cable through lubricators and connect stuffing box to it.
7) Connect the tools and power up and check them all, check the spinner free
movement and add silicon oil to the tools that needed as talks in pre job
preparation procedure.
8) You need totally 6 points of responsibility while rig up the logging equipment
as follow:
 Crane operator to operate the hook and guide lubricators to the flapper
head
 Well head operator to connect the lubricators and hold the flapper
open while RIH.
 One person in charge of logging cable
 One person to hold the tension cable
 Hand pump in charge person to pump and catch the cable inside the
staffing box normally logging truck driver is responsible.
 Lubricator in charge person to hold and guide lubricators while
standing up ,this person is also responsible to remove the trolley and
put the cap on bottom of lubricators .
9) After finish the check tools , power off and pass the PLT string through the
lubricators until bottom stop upper than tool trap- Lubricator connection.
10) Call hand pump in charge person to put 2000 psi pressure on the cable.
11) Call crane operator to slowly raise the lubricators and foreman have to walk
with lubricators toward the well head fences and when the lubricators stand
in vertical position he remove the trolley and put the cap in bottom of
lubricators.

12) While lubricators are raising up engineer have to assign persons to hold
tension cable , logging cable , and hand pump to make sure there will be no
problem happen during rig up the tools and lubricators.
13) Well head operator have to adjust and connect the lubricator to the flapper
top.
14) Command the crane operator to start the grease injection unit and raise its
pressure 300psi over well head pressure.
15) Confirm with winch man to keep the tension on the cable and make it straight
and apply zero depth to make it ready for RIH.
16) Tell well head operator to open the tool trap.
17) Confirm with well head crew to open the well head .
18) Call hand pump in charge person to release the tools.
19) Start to RIH with 5 m/min speed.
20) Assign well head operator to shake the wire line cable .
21) After passing the well head you can increase the speed to 10 m/min.
22) Near no go point keep speed on 10 m/min or less.
23) After passing critical points increase the speed less than 70 m/min in casing,
it depend on the well bore condition .
Notice:
Do not increase the winch speed more than 30 m/min
in open hole , perforation and production zones , it
could result on spinner damage.
24) After finishing pass logs and stationary points , depend on witness, POOH to
the surface.
25) Again near no go area decrease the speed to 10 m/min or less.
26) About 50 meter near the well head again decrease the speed to 5m/min and
tell one operator to shake the wire line cable near the ground, in case of stuck
the cable will raise and you can find there is a problem and stop POOH.
27) Assign one person to observe the tool trap whenever the tools enter the
lubricators it will close and you will find the tools are already in lubricators.

28) Immediately the well head operator have to tell the winch driver to stop the
movement.
29) Call well head crew to close the well.
30) Now turn off grease injection unit.
31) Release the trapped pressure by opening the release valve, make sure there
is no extra pressure is trapped inside the equipment.
32) Tell hand pump in charge person to increase the hand pump pressure to 2000
psi and catch the cable by this way on stuffing box.
33) Now well head operator have to open the lubricator – flapper connection and
crane operator should lift up the lubricators .
34) While the lubricators are laying down one operator have to be in charge of
putting trolley on bottom of the lubricators.
35) In case of spinner damage you have to totally change the spinner in
accordance with borehole condition.

Flow tube Selection:
Flow tubes are tubes generally about 14 inches long which have an inside diameter only
slightly larger than the wire line cable O.D. (approximately .003 to .007 inches larger).
Grease is pumped in between the tube and the cable. The flow tubes are able to seal
against well pressure because of the resistance to flow of a viscous fluid passing
through a restriction.
The cable diameter should be measured on two axis at 1000’ intervals or smaller and
tubes with ID’s .003 to .007 larger than the cable OD should be chosen.
Flow tubes recommended ID = Wire line OD + 0.003" to 0.008 "
WELL PRESSURE (psi) FLUID TYPE SUGGESTED TUBES
0 TO 5,000 LIQUID 3
0 TO 5,000 GAS 3
5 TO 10,000 LIQUID 3 TO 4
5 TO 10,000 GAS 4 TO 5
10 TO 15,000 LIQUID 4 TO 5
10 TO 15,000 GAS 5 TO 6

Notice:
While using a new cable, expect problems in a gas well with gas migration
between the inner and outer armor. as possible as you can, use a new cable on
liquid filled wells only, until the cable is seasoned. This usually takes 6 to 8 runs.

Flange Type Selection
 Take all types and available sizes of flanges and adaptors to the
wellsite.
Top of Flange Adapter we have to setup release sub. Release sub has a
valve that at the rig down time must be open that fluids drain from
lubricators .

Blowout preventer is used to contain pressure in a well with the wire line
tools in the hole when the cable is stopped without damaging the cable.
When the BOP is activated, the rubber faces will seal around the outer
surface of the cable.
Tool Trap
Tool traps are safety devices designed to trap the tools that have been
inadvertently pulled off the cable head inside the lubricator. The Tool Trap is
installed at bottom of the lubricator stack. There are manual and
hydraulically actuated Tool Traps. The main catch mechanism of a manual
tool trap is the stop flapper, shaft and handle. Manual tool traps are opened
mechanically from the outside by a handle.

 While rig up the equipment ,position of crane have to be like this pic.

 Upper sheave have to be connect in this manner.

Upper Sheave
 Those slings have to be connect to this grapple on stuffing box,

before connecting the shackles do visual check on it.

 In this way guide the lubricator to the top of flapper and connect
it.

 This pic shows the lower sheave ,one side of sling is connected
to the well head equipment , another side on top of the sheave.

 This is the spiral way to fold the wireline cable on the ground
and make it ready to rig up.

 This pressure gauge shows the well head pressure as you can
see in this pic , it’s mounted on the production line.

 During POOH and before tools reach to the wellhead area use one
operator to push and pull the mono cable like this position to make
yoyo movement and prevent the tools stuck on surface plus one
operator on top to control flapper valve(tool trap) and close it when
the tools reach to top of the lubricators.
 Rig up and Rig down correct movements and positions are illustrated
in the next page.
At least one operator is needed to guide the lubricators and lay it down
or move it toward the well position.

Filtering Techniques

Filtering Techniques :
There are a variety of filtering techniques which can be categorized as
following:
1. Smoothing
In statistics and data processing, to smooth a data set is to create a
function that attempts to capture important patterns in the data, while
leaving out noise .Many different algorithms are used in smoothing. One of
the most common algorithms is the “moving average”, which is performed
by recursive or non-recursive methods.
Recursive filter is a type of filter which re-uses one or more of its outputs as
an input. This feedback typically results in an unending impulse response,
characterized by exponentially growing, decaying, or sinusoidal signal output
components .
2. Low and High Cut Filters

A low and high cut or band-pass filter is a filter that passes frequencies
within a certain range and rejects or attenuates frequencies outside that
range. These filters can also be created by combining a low-pass filter with a
high-pass filter. An ideal filter would have a completely flat pass band and
would completely attenuate all frequencies outside the pass band. The
bandwidth of the filter is simply the difference between the upper and lower
cutoff frequencies .
3. Low Cut or High-pass Filter

A high-pass filter is a filter that passes high frequencies well, but attenuates
frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency. The actual amount of
attenuation for each frequency varies from filter to filter. It is sometimes
called a low-cut filter; the terms bass-cut filter or rumble filter are also used
.
4. High Cut or Low-pass Filter

A low-pass filter is a filter that passes low frequencies well, but attenuates
frequencies
higher than the cutoff frequency. A low-pass filter is the opposite of a high-
pass filter, and a band-pass filter is a combination of a high-pass and a low-

pass. It is useful as a filter to block any unwanted low frequency
components of a complex signal while passing the higher frequencies. Of
course, the meanings of “low” and “high” frequencies are relative to the
cutoff frequency chosen by the filter design.
The Main Regular Problem You May

Face On Wellsite
 Grease Injector Unit not delivering grease to the returning hose from
stuffing box :
 Have you ever confirmed the hose configuration and the check valves are correctly installed
on the correct inlet?
 Check the ends of the hose to be sure when the crimp adapters were installed
that they did not damage the hose ends
 Check the return valve for blockage
 Check the return hose by disconnecting it and blowing air through it in both
directions. If the hose got kinked, it could have collapsed the inner liner.
 Check with air the return connection point on your panel to the tank to be sure
you have an open flow path.
 Are you using the correct size of flow tubes if they are to large you might not see
any grease in the return line.
 Generally 6-8 thou over wire size as a rule.
 are you rigged up on a well, or just checking equipment. If rigged up is the pump
stroking regularly ?but are the hoses connected properly? Injection at the top,
return at the bottom. Are the none returned valves fitted correctly? Are you
managing to maintain a seal, and is the cable free to move, or are well fluids
coming out of the return line. the answers will help to determine what may be
wrong, and what is required to sort it.
 Check the problem in the lubricators.
