Shooting the pumping fluid level
Quick start instructions
•
Close the backside valve on the well before set-up.
•
Connect the Pressure Pulse Gas Gun to the annulus of the well behind the backside valve, using
the spanner wrench provided.
•
Open the backside valve to pressure up the gun.
•
Push the gun’s shuttle valve into the
load
position.
•
Charge up gas gun chamber by feeding pressure into the gun from the CO² bottle through the
charge hose to achieve a positive differential pressure. To do this, stab the charge hose into the
“Fill” valve labeled on the side of the gun.
•
Shut in the casing flow line valve, so the shot will not go down the flow line.
•
Connect the microphone cable to both the Acoustic Fluid Logger and the Pressure Pulse Gun.
•
Turn on the Acoustic Fluid Logger unit and verify that the header prints as the paper advances.
Press 4 and then C.
This puts the unit in the ¼ compressed mode that makes the tape ¼ of its
usual length. This allows you to quickly see if you have a valid fluid level without waiting for a
long tape printout.
•
Press START
to put the unit in the standby mode. The header will advance a small amount and
the unit will wait for you to shoot the gun.
•
Shoot the Pressure Pulse Gun by pushing shuttle valve in the “Fire” direction. The unit will start
printing.
•
Let the printer run until you have seen a valid fluid level kick.
Press STOP
at this point to stop
the tape.
•
Inspect the resulting compressed tape chart for valid fluid and readable collars.
•
If valid fluid is found,
push Print
to get an exact reprint of the same fluid level in its full-length
form.
•
Otherwise, follow the above procedures to shoot another shot on the well.
