Objective: Use of Echometer Well Analyzer with TWM and/or TAM software to obtain fluid level and dynamometer measurements for troubleshooting producing wells.

 Who should attend: Field technicians, pumpers, production operators, tech supervisors currently involved in well troubleshooting. Echometer Company offers two-day seminars on the topics listed below. The seminars are offered free of charge.

 Day One:   

·         Basics of fluid level acquisition and obtaining quality data for analysis.

·         Three methods of fluid level analysis (Automatic Collar Count, Acoustic Velocity, Downhole Marker)

·         Gaseous liquid columns

·         Calculation of bottomhole pressures from casing pressure and acoustic liquid level depth measurements.

·         The effects of static and producing bottomhole pressures on well production.

·         Problem wells and common production methods are discussed.

·         Downhole Gas Separators

·         Motor Power/Current analysis

 Day Two:

·         Basics of Dynamometer measurements using a Polished Rod Transducer or Horseshoe Load Cell.

·         Dynamometer data acquisition and analysis.

·         Using fluid level and dynamometer data to troubleshoot wells.

·         QRod 

·         Pressure Transient Testing (if requested)

·         Plunger Tracking (if requested)

·         Model H Instrument (if requested)

 Both the analog and digital Echometers are discussed.  The computerized Echometer Well Analyzer and the Wireless Equipment are superior digital instruments which give a complete well analysis. The analog Model M is a strip chart acoustic instrument that is reliable and simple to operate.
