ProTechnics Company was founded in 1983 as a service company dedicated to providing
state-of-the-art radioactive tracing services to the energy industry. Operating
out of fifteen domestic locations and in more than 20 countries around the world,
ProTechnics provides complete design, field engineering, and completion diagnostic
services to clients in virtually every major producing basin of the world.
Production Enhancement for the life of the reservoir
Direct measurements using tracer and imaging technology are powerful tools for production
enhancement over the life of the reservoir. Production, completion, reservoir and
drilling engineers all turn to ProTechnics for specialized measurements that are
essential for understanding and improving reservoir response.
COMPLETION
Because you don’t get a second chance, completions must be done right the first
time. Designing the best completion procedure is a complex, iterative process using
simulations based on many variables. Completion diagnostics measure how the reservoir
responds to a fracture treatment. These valuable data can be applied directly to
improving the frac design and procedure – and production results. These applications
include:
- Hydraulic fracture placement and effectiveness
- Fracture simulator calibration
- Frac-pack treatments
- Horizontal well completions
- Acidizing placement and diversion
- Real-time bottomhole fracturing pressure and temperature

RESERVOIR
In addition to reserve estimation, wringing the last drop of oil or the last molecule
of gas from the reservoir is the job of the reservoir engineer. Reservoir performance
and optimization is more effectively managed with diagnostic measurements for:
- Bypassed or missed reserves
- EOR pilot studies
- Field-wide EOR optimization
- Conformance studies
- Monitoring reservoir compaction
- Long-term downhole reservoir pressure and temperature monitoring

PRODUCTION
Production engineering involves troubleshooting and problem solving that are enhanced
by completion diagnostics. These measurements are ideally suited for:
- Designing recompletions and re-fracs
- Determining mechanical integrity in old
wells
- Zonal production allocation
- Determining location of water production
- Assessing squeeze cementing effectiveness
|
DRILLING
Drilling engineers deal with many diverse issues, from cement placement and lost
circulation to coring operations. Depth control and correlation are supported by
tracer diagnostics in many applications, including:
- Marking casing for precise depth control and correlation
- Cement plug release verification
- Casing hardware marking and location
- Tracing foam, squeeze and lead/tail cementing applications
- Measurement of mud filtrate invasion while coring
- Downhole formation fluid sample mud invasion quantification
- Identify lost circulation zones
