RAS Reservoir Analysis Sonde – Sigma


Measures reservoir saturation using Sigma techniques


Applications

  • Reservoir monitoring
  • Formation evaluation
  • Wellbore performance and integrity
  • Primary reservoir description where openhole logging is constrained


Features and Benefits

  • Short 3-detector PNG tool
  • Improved wellsite safety
  • Surface read out (SRO) and memory compatible
  • Combinable with all high-speed digital (HD) products
  • Sigma and water flow available in SRO and memory modes (mixed modes supported in memory)


Tool Description

The Weatherford RAS Reservoir Analysis Sonde – Sigma is a multidetector pulsed-neutron tool for measuring reservoir saturation using source and detector technologies more suitable for specific markets.

The sonde features an array of three sodium-iodide (NaI) detectors. The Sigma measurement is based on the near and far spacings, the long spacing is sensitive to porosity and gas saturation.

The tool also operates in oxygen activation mode to determine water phase velocity (water-flow mode) and can be combined with up to four gamma ray-CCL (-GCL) tools for this application.

The RAS003 is an HD platform tool and combinable with other HD tools such as spectral gamma, RADii®, ProMAC™, and production logging tools.
