Get detailed insights into your reservoir and production fluids with the Reservoir Performance Monitor™ (RPM™) service from Baker Hughes. By combining multiple nuclear measurements in one system, the RPM gives you a wealth of information to optimize your reservoir development plans.
Comprehensive reservoir evaluation and management
The RPM service is a cased-hole formation evaluation system that uses a slimhole, multifunction, pulsed neutron tool with industry-leading accuracy and precision. Specifically, the RPM instrument employs three high-resolution gamma-ray detectors arrayed above an efficient, reliable pulsed neutron generator. The generator pulses at different frequencies, and state-of-the-art electronics in the detectors measure the arrival time and energy of the returning gamma rays.
A data acquisition system operates in various timing modes to obtain a range of different logging measurements for your reservoir and fluids, which include:
- Pulsed neutron capture (PNC) sigma logging is an established cased-hole saturation logging service that differentiates between saltwater and hydrocarbons to measure water saturation for effective reservoir monitoring and management
- Carbon/oxygen (C/O) logging determines oil saturation in reservoirs containing low- or mixed-salinity water
- The GasView™ gas saturation service accurately measures salinity-independent, quantitative gas saturation to provide a clear picture of reservoir gas
- The FluidView™ three-phase fluid saturation service provides through-casing, quantitative, three-phase formation fluid saturation analysis in light-oil/high-salinity reservoirs—all in a single run
- The NEO™ openhole log emulation service uses pulsed-neutron data to construct neural-network models that emulate openhole log responses through the casing
- The RockView™ Slim service provides basic lithology information through the casing, evaluates gravel pack completions, and generates a relative brittleness indicator that is useful for optimizing frac-stage placement
- The RockView™ Thru service acquires and processes high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy data through casing to provide lithology and mineralogy of the formation for more informed reservoir development
- The Pulsed Neutron Holdup Imager™ (PNHITM) service provides three-phase holdup determination in horizontal boreholes
- Several oxygen activation modes—the Hydrolog™, FlowShot™, and Annular Flow Log™ (AFL™) services—provide quantitative water velocity measurements in or behind casing, under a variety of completion configurations
Combine the RPM instrument with other production logging instruments to provide a complete picture of your well’s production and reserves in a single trip. And the tool’s short, modular construction makes it easy to rig-up, ship, and handle in the field.
With the RPM service deployed in your well, you get access to a vast array of information for a broad range of applications:
- Formation evaluation
- Reservoir saturation
- Production monitoring and profiling
- Workover and well abandonment evaluation
- Identification of water channeling for mechanical integrity testing
