| Abstract | Permanently installed monitoring-sensor cables behind the production-well casings were used to acquire distributed-temperature data, and electrical potentials were passively monitored at the down-hole
electrodes in the winters of 2007 and 2008 for the JOGMEC/NRCan/Aurora Mallik Gas Hydrate Production Research Well Program. The data could be almost continuously acquired during the production-test periods without interfering with production
operations once the down-hole-sensor cables were connected to the surface system. Some useful information related to production activities was obtained from the distributed-temperature data. The temperature-depth profiles obtained during the
depressurizations in the 2008 test indicated a promising potential for tracking of the fluid levels in the annulus, which qualitatively corresponds to the fluid-volume change estimated from the differential pres-sures. Temperature profiles also
contributed a complementary estimation of production parameters, such as the water-production rate under assumed conditions. The temperature disturbance observed during cement curing suggests a thermal impact on the gas hydrate by the heat of cement
hydration. Passive electrical-potential measurement is considered a promising candidate for further development. The measurement was attempted to acquire streaming-potential signals from formation-fluid movement in porous media under the pressure
gradient during various operations. Qualitative observation shows a rela-tionship between signal-polarity change and the direction of possible fluid flows in the formation, which suggests local-scale fluid flow near the electrodes. |
