Diagnosing Complex Flow Characteristics of Mishrif Formation in Stimulated Well Using Production Logging Tool

Abstract

Production logging is used to diagnose well production problems by evaluating the flow
profile, entries of unwanted fluids and downhole flow regimes. Evaluating wells production
performance can be easily induce from production logs through interpretation of production
log data to provide velocity profile and contribution of each zone on total production.
Production logging results supply information for reservoir modeling, provide data to
optimize the productivity of existing wells and plan drilling and completion strategies for
future wells. Production logging was carried out in a produce oil well from Mishrif formation
of West Qurna field, with the objective to determine the flow profile and fluid contributions
from the perforations after the stimulation job.
