Backgrounder • Advanced Flow Technology • Calgary, Alberta • 7 Years in gas well monitoring • 1 year oil well monitoring • Patented technologies using temperature and acoustics • Len Johnson • 30 years’ CEO technology companies • Last company: Advanced Measurements Inc.
Goals • Validation of potential in US market • We know the Great White North, but.. • Beta Test Partner • Fall time frame
Well Site Visits • Over 700,000 oil wells in North America • Majority low production, manually monitored • 50% of operator time spent checking! • Is the well producing as expected? • Pump Working? • Fluid being produced? • At the expected levels • Is there a leak at the well head?
Well Monitoring Choices: SCADA Controller : $10k-$25k Bert: Have Truck Will Travel: $800 per well/month
Filling the Gap • Field based system • Low Cost ($3,000 range) • Self Powered • Easy to Install: Any well, anywhere • Cellular Network for communication • Class 1 Div 1 • All weather conditions
Information • Easy to access and understand • Simple • Available from Smart Phone, Computer… • Provides answers to basic questions: • Pump working, • well producing • at expected levels, • not leaking • Manage by exception
Manage by Exception Green = all systems go Yellow = maybe a problem Red= go to the well Click on an icon to drill down for well status
Is Fluid being produced? Flowing Not Flowing ΔT = Variable ΔT = 0
Delta T: Simple but powerful • Any flow change • Flow trends easily spotted • Sub-surface problems spotted in near real time • Big reduction in requirement to trouble shoot • Fluid shots, putting wells on test
Considerations for Leak Detection • Accurate detection of leaks • 0 false negatives • Very limited tolerance for false positives • Timely • Within hours
Leak Notification • Green well, all good • Sliding scale for notification • Notify when somewhat oily? • Notify only when visit is required? • Different levels of notification for field vs. office?
Benefits of Reduced Visits • Lower Costs • 50% of operator time spent on routine checking • Leak remediation costs reduced • Fewer Safety Incidents • Higher Production • Problems spotted immediately • Operator time shifted from problem finding to problem solving
Summary • The pump is working • Fluid is being produced • At the expected level • There is no leak • Do we need to send a guy to the well?
The Ask • 2-3 parties to advise and assist • Some personnel time required in field • 5-10 wells each • Fall for field beta test
