Integrated systems for the acquisition, processing and reporting of
reservoir pressure data, on-site
Baker Production
Technology is a
leader in the
technology to
acquire and
process high
resolution data from production
tests, pressure surveys, drillstem
tests and long-term production
monitoring. Baker high
temperature pressure probes
provide data through both
conductor wireline and electronic
memory configurations. Then,
briefcase-sized computing
systems process the data on-site,
even as the test is taking place.
Processed with the sophistication
of much larger systems, the
data and the report supplied to
the reservoir engineer are a
sound foundation for reservoir
interpretation.
Baker ResData on-site reservoir data
processing
ResData: on-site data
processing for transient
pressure testing
For drillstem testing, surface/
downhole production monitoring
and production testing, the
ResData reservoir data processing
software provides on-site plots
both on the computer's monitor
and in hardcopy. The data is also
compatible with telecommunication
systems, allowing the plots
to be transmitted to any telephone
in the world within minutes of the
test's completion. Running
on portable or desk-top
microcomputers, the ResData
software provides every standard
plot used to interpret the reservoir
information derived from transient
pressure tests.
• ResData/Production Testing
Software specifically designed to
process all of the pressure,
temperature and flow rate data
gathered during a production test.
• ResData/DST
Software which provides the
standard DST chart, Horner and
other plots commonly derived from
a drillstem test. Where a conductor
wireline probe is run in conjunction
with memory probes, these plots
can be charted in real-time as the
test is taking place.
• ResData/Production Surveys
Software which processes the data
from downhole production surveys,
either slickline or conductor
wireline, as well as surface probes.
• ResData/Sentry
Software which processes the data
from Sentry downhole probes
permanently mounted for
long-term production monitoring.
ResData Completion Analysis:
reservoir analysis and
completion design
ResData
Completion
Analysis is a
service in which
Baker reservoir
engineers analyze
and integrate reservoir and other
well data. The resulting evaluation
provides a customer's completion
engineers with guidance in the
selection of completion techniques
and equipment to ensure maximum
production efficiency.
Sentry System: permanent
downhole instrumentation
The Lynes Sentry
is a downhole
pressure/
temperature
monitoring system
which provides the
data essential to the most efficient
operation of flowing, pumping or
injection wells. The field-proven
Sentry is inexpensive yet durable,
simple to install and easy to
operate. The pressure and
temperature data provided give
an early indication of plugged
perforations, paraffin and water
blocks, overheating downhole
pumps and other problems which
can inhibit or halt production.
Baker Reservoir Automation &
Monitoring Systems
Available in
several levels of
sophistication,
these systems can
include permanent
surface instruments
to monitor pressure/temperature
probes, providing digital displays
and optional hardcopy printouts.
Baker also provides the circuitry
and software to interface probes
with computers, programmable
controllers or analog devices, fully
automating pump control. The first
such system increased production
for a major operator 22 percent
while decreasing energy
consumption 18 percent. Longer
life for submersible pumps can
increase the savings even more.

Baker ResData Plots A Baker Oil Tools Company

On-site hardcopy plots available

The ResData System displays the data in any
commonly used plot, including real gas potential,
almost immediately upon probe retrieval. Real-time
tests, such as conductor wireline and surface probes,
are observed directly at the computer throughout the
test. Depending on the needs of the customer, these
plots are printed on-site, telecommunicated back
to the customer's home office, or delivered in the
standard report form. These plots are typical of
on-site printouts:

Baker ResData Acquisition Probes

Digital Memory Probes (DMR) Conductor Wireline Probes

Run in
conventional
gauge carriers or
on slickline, these
probes store
downholedata
in memory which is transferred
directly into the computer at
the surface. This digital data is
then displayed, printed out,
telecommunicated or simply stored
for a report submitted later.
(CWL)
Run in on conventional conductor
wireline, these probes transmit
data directly to the computer at the
surface. This allows the reservoir
engineer to monitor the data as the
test progresses. Also connected
directly to the computer are
surface probes. When multiplexed,
these probes monitor multiple
wellheads but require only one
computer.

What the probe name

designations mean.
Each part of the probe's name
refers to a specification of that
particular probe. This is the temperature rating of the
standard probe in °F.

There are three types of probes:. -This designates the memory

DMR- digital memory probes which
record downhole data in electronic
memory
CWL- conductor wireline probes which
transmit data to the surface as the data
is collected
SP-surface probes which connect
directly to wellheads or surface
manifolds
DMR-257/S4 capacity of DMR probes in kilobytes.
This designates the transducer:
S-strain gauge
Q-quartz crystal In this example, the probe is a memory
probe with a temperature rating of
257°F (125°C), a strain gauge
transducer and 4 kilobytes of memory.

Lynes Production-Injection Packer (PIP®)
Lynes PIP: An end to impossible workovers
The Lynes PIP is
an ideal tool for
performing zone-
isolation oper-
ations in either
open hole or cas-
ing. Its unique feature is the field-
proven Lynes inflatable element.
Composed of a resilient rubber
cover, braided-steel reinforcing
and an inner tube, this flexible ele-
ment conforms within its expansion
limits to even the most irregular
and out-of-round wellbore or casing.
Successful workovers
impossible for mechanical
packers
When uninflated, the PIP has a
reduced run-in diameter which
allows the tool to pass through and
set below damaged or collapsed
casing where workovers with
mechanical packers would be
impossible. Once inflated, the
tool anchors and seals along its •
entire length, preventing fluid
communication past the element.
Because the PIP does not use
mechanical slips for anchoring, the
danger of puncturing weak or old
casing is eliminated.
More sealing pressure when
differential pressure increases
In addition, the PIP withstands
high differential pressure from both
above and below without the use of
tubing weight, tension or auxiliary
aids. Because the inflation
pressure within the element
increases in proportion to any
differential pressure increase, the
PIP ensures a positive seal even
under changing pressure
conditions.
Two PIP models for different
applications
The Single-Set PIP, which is
pulled and reset at the surface
after each operation has been
completed, is used primarily for
353
permanent or long-term
applications.
The Resettable PIP, which can
be reset several times without
tripping the run-in string, affords
significant time savings in
applications requiring frequent
resetting of the packer.
Both PIP tools are available
with the standard open-hole

Baker Early Production & Custom Testing Facilities

Early Production Facilities

With the ever increasing need to
speed return on investment, Baker
Production Technology was the first
to develop early production facilities
to bring new production on line as
quickly as possible. This approach
is attractive in new field discoveries where early
production generates much needed cash flow to help
fund further development. Early production facilities
also allow the exploitation of marginal fields which
would not normally warrant the expense of
conventional platform development. Onshore, early
production units allow pipeline hookup long before
permanent facilities are completed. Also provided is
the detailed reservoir information vital to efficient, long
term development.
Custom Well Test Facilities
Another important application of the early production
facilities is offshore well testing in fields which have been
developed using small, single well jackets. This is
The Baker Bluebird Well Testing Vessel, on location in the Arabian Gulf,
particularly applicable in areas like the Arabian Gulf
has a nominal capacity of 20,000 bpd (3,200 m 3 /d).
where, in many cases, facilities were not installed to
enable individual well testing. By installing a full scale
production facility on either a boat or a mobile jack-up
barge, it is possible to get detailed well performance
data. Baker Production Technology currently has three
facilities in operation, each custom built to customer
specification. *

First in early offshore production, Baker commissioned this major tanker-mounted facility almost 10 years ago.
