Objective: Use of Echometer Wired Well Analyzer and Echometer Wireless Equipment with TWM and 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 with Echometer Well Analyzer, Echometer Wireless Equipment
• 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
• Model M Strip Chart Recorder (if requested)
• 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.
