An EV downhole camera was run in the recent workover of Red Raider Well #1 at the Texas Tech University Oilfield Technology Center (OTC). This is a 4,000 ft well set up for rod testing research. The camera, provided by EV, was used to inspect the 9 5/8-inch casing and locate the fluid level and fill at the bottom of the well. This provided a great experience for our students to see wireline operations, provided by The Wireline Group (TWG), as both downhole camera runs and deviation survey runs were made. Special thanks to the Southwestern Petroleum Short Course for providing the funds that have allowed us to perform this workover and services provided by The Wireline Group (TWG) and EV.

We are a month away from our alumni reception in Houston, Tx., on October 21st after SPE ATCE.

We hope to see you there! 🎉

The Texas Tech U Rod Lift “Test Bed” can create specific pump fillage conditions “at will” to test new methods for handling the gas slugging commonly seen in horizontal wells. Thanks to generous donation of a Lufkin Pumping Unit (2.0 controller/VDF) and a Boomerang Edge Device (Boombox), we can test controller-based solutions. By altering pump speed during the stroke, or on the next stroke, we can develop methods to improve pump fillage, and increase our ability to pump-through gas slugs. Gas testing, in addition to rod guide testing, is the focus of our research in the coming months thanks to start-up support provided by the Southwest Petroleum Short Course. For information on how you can support Rod Lift Research & Testing, please contact Dr. Stuart L. Scott (Herald W. Winkler Chair and Professor of Petroleum Engineering).
