The technical presentation “Prototype HLT Pilot Testing Offshore Norway 2024” will be given by Trond Rolfsvåg from Hydrophilic.
Abstract
The Hydrophilic Logging Tool (HLT) introduces a novel measurement capability that enables the estimation of the Oil-Water Contact (OWC) without the need for drilling through it.
The prototype HLT was tested twice offshore Norway in 2024. This presentation will discuss the insights gained from both tests, including the tool failures encountered during the first pilot and the successful demonstration of water pressure measurement within an oil reservoir during the second pilot. Special emphasis will be placed on HLT measurements in reservoirs containing perched water.
