Acoustic Well Sounder (AWS) Buildup Tests
Automated acousted well sounder (AAWS) or acoustic well sounder (AWS) buildups enable you to evaluate static reservoir pressure and formation damage. The data aquired can be used for several purposes:
-
AER: Evaluate production practices, determine remaining reserves, assess recovery performance, resolve equity questions.
-
Reservoir: Find recoverable reserves still in place, pool performance vs. predicted, secondary/tertiary recovery candidates.
-
Production: Workover/recompletion candidates, determine artificial lift problems.
