Production Gauging Principles & Methods
This one-day professional short course offered by Integrated Sciences
Group covers basic well gauging principles and methods used to monitor
heavy oil production from steamflood or cyclic steam projects. A
comprehensive review of AWT fundamentals, including phase separation
efficiency, water cut measurement, flow rate measurement, and assessment
of gauging accuracy is presented along with guidelines for establishing
the appropriate gauging frequency and duration for improved monitoring
of steamflood and cyclic steam producers. |
Course Outline |
|
Part 1 - AWT Basics The first part of instruction covers the basic design and operation of automatic well test systems.
Part 2 - Separation Efficiency This section key design aspects of two-phase and three-phase separators.
Part 3 - Water Cut Measurement Part 3 of the course reviews the basic operating principles of cut meter equipment that has been or is currently being used to measure emulsion water cut or total water content.
Part 4 - Flow Rate Measurement Part 4 of the course reviews the basic operating principles of metering equipment that has been or is currently being used to measure freewater and emulsion flow rates.
Part 5 - Gauging Optimization The last part of the class covers instrument calibration requirements for improving gauging reliability and accuracy, how to identify the major contributors to overall uncertainty, and practical methods for improving AWT performance. Basic guidelines for establishing optimum well gauging duration and frequency are also discussed.

Ms. Suzanne Castrup has over twenty-five years of experience in thermally enhanced oil recovery and is currently Vice President of Integrated Sciences Group. Prior to joining Integrated Sciences Group, Ms. Castrup was Technical Advisor for Thermally Enhanced Oil Recovery in Chevron’s Western Basins Group providing expert consultation on all aspects of steamflood and cyclic steam project design, implementation and evaluation. She was also a Production/Reservoir Engineer, managing both cyclic steam stimulation and steamflood projects in several heavy oil properties in the Cymric and Midway Sunset Fields.
An expert in heat management, Ms. Castrup spent eleven years as a Research Engineer at Chevron Oil Field Research Company conducting laboratory and field experiments to better understand surface and subsurface heat management processes. She has published numerous technical papers and holds several patents relating to heavy oil recovery. She is a recipient of the 2006 SPE Western Region Award and the 2007 SPE International Award for distinguished contributions to petroleum engineering projects, facilities and construction.
