Abstract

See full text

A method for time lapse electric logging in a cased hole in which electrodes are implanted in the casing or the hole is completed with a gravel packed non conductive, perforated liner that allows an open hole logging tool to be used for time-lapse logging. Thereafter, the implemented electrodes or a self-potential (SP) logging tool are used to monitor a steam-flooding EOR method by detecting two-phase flow with time lapse logging. A potential drop between the surface and zones of interest is measured with electrodes installed in a non-conductive casing or the SP logging tool.
