Paper: The Dowhole Video Service Current Applications In The Permian Basin

The Downhole Video Service provides a real time and on-site image of wellbore conditions in both the open and cased hole environments. In the open hole environment, the video service may 1) record images of hydrocarbon entry from the formation into the wellbore, 2) show the presence of natural fracture systems that intersect the wellbore and 3) reveal the placement of hydraulically induced fractures. Because of these features, the Downhole Video Service can be used for making pipe setting decisions and for optimizing the stimulation techniques.
