Acquisition, Management and Interpretation of Field Data, (Fluid Levels and Dynamometric Charts)

All artificial lift systems have certain limitations in their operation, representing large operational expenses for companies when correcting or mitigating the failures presented.

Due to this, the need has arisen to resort to equipment and software, through which we can obtain relevant data that allow us to know the current state of the well, as is the case of the Echometer Team and its TWM well analysis software (Total Well Management) and the new data acquisition and analysis software TAM (Total Asset Monitor)

The acquisition of data of dynamic and static fluid levels and calculations of bottom pressures in oil and gas wells, are a fundamental part of the daily activity to know the operating status of the wells.

Using the Echometer technology for the measurement of fluid levels and the calculation of background pressures, the current condition of the well can be diagnosed, it is possible to know if the system is optimized or not and once the problems are identified, give solutions and recommendations to improve productivity and reduce operational costs.
