TGT Diagnostics, a provider of diagnostics solutions for the hydrocarbon energy sector, has introduced a new acoustic platform, ChorusX, to help find and characterise flow in oil and gas wells.
The new acoustic array platform allows energy companies to easily and precisely find and map fluid flow throughout the well reservoir system. This helps operators to keep wells safe, clean and productive.
TGT chief marketing officer Ken Feather said: “ChorusX is the result of two decades of intensive research, innovation and extensive field experience in applying the power of sound to flow diagnostics in thousands of wells.
“Eight high-definition array sensors, extreme dynamic range recording and a unique phase analysis engine work in concert to deliver uncompromising levels of clarity, precision and certainty to analysts and well operators.”
The ChorusX system features a compact array of eight nano-synchronised sensors, which will record high-resolution flow sounds across an extreme dynamic range of intensities and frequencies.
Feather said that the ChorusX platform can be used in three areas including extending spatial and audible reach to record the lightest, quietest and furthest flows; pinpointing flow sources with unmatched accuracy in depth, and radially; and identifying different types of flows.
“Flow events are displayed more clearly in high definition, enabling operators to plan actions with greater confidence and implement them efficiently with precision,” Feather noted.
TGT said its ChorusX platform is offered to all through a range of True Flow and True Integrity/Seal Integrity products to TGT Diagnostics customers.
Last month, TGT Diagnostics announced plans to build a new technology hub in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
