Quantify treatments using real-time DTS measurements
DTS measurements rely on a laser beam and a continuous strand of optical fiber-optic technology to
collect continuous temperature profiles along the length of the well. This technology has been used
as part of ACTive services real-time CT interventions to monitor wellbore temperature evolution while
pumping, as well as during shut-in periods. The tracking of temperature data down the wellbore, as
well as the qualitative assessment of reservoir temperature warming or coolingor lack thereof
during shut-in, has helped engineers gain insight into fluid placement performance and zonal
coverage.
As part of ACTive Profiling* CT real-time production logging and distributed temperature sensing
services, ACTive DTS* distributed temperature measurement and inversion analysis allows engineers
to use DTS data acquired during real-time ACTive services interventions to quantify the intake profile
of treatment fluid along the wellbore.

The DTS inversion process generates the fluid invasion profile (volume per unit length) across a selected interval based
on the evolution of distributed temperature measurements, as well as key treatment and reservoir parameters.
