The Baker Hughes FASTrak™ logging-while-drilling (LWD) fluid analysis sampling and testing service obtains accurate formation pressure and formation fluid samples while drilling. It combines three distinct functions—accurate real-time formation pressure tests, real-time in-situ measurements of reservoir fluid properties, and downhole capture and retrieval of formation fluid samples. Pressure testing provides important information concerning fluid dynamics within the reservoir, including mobility measurements and predictions of productivity of the zone.

Conventional pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) analysis can delay the decision-making process from weeks to months, depending upon the logistics involved in transporting a sample from its acquired location to a PVT laboratory. Because the FASTrak service samples, tests, and analyzes in real time and on-site, you can make critical decisions regarding your reservoir right away, with no delays and no downtime.

The FASTrak service includes sensors that identify real-time density, viscosity, refractive index, and sound/speed measurements. These sensors provide real-time fluid typing as well as real-time cleanup monitoring.

By accurately sampling, testing, and analyzing reservoir fluid properties, the FASTrak service quickly helps in the estimation of reserves in an oil reservoir and helps predict its performance and economics. The FASTrak service precisely measures and reports PVT properties such as bubblepoint pressure, gas/oil ratio, viscosity, and other detailed composition for analysis of well performance, material balance calculations, reservoir simulation, and production engineering calculations. Determining the fluid properties by using the FASTrak service can be essential in petroleum reservoir studies, the design of production equipment, and the estimation of the recovery efficiency of a reservoir.

FASTrak LWD Fluid Analysis Sampling and Testing ServiceAcquire accurate reservoir fluid properties quickly while drilling to optimize production

The FASTrak service stores fluid samples inside sample tanks that are precharged with nitrogen to ensure sample integrity. Each carrier can hold four sample tanks, and as many as four carriers can be assembled per trip to capture 16 fluid samples.

The accurate gradient analysis provided by the FASTrak service yields information on fluid type and density of the formation fluids. Pressure testing by the FASTrak service in an LWD environment optimizes safety and drilling efficiency while controlling overbalance and equivalent circulating density. Representative fluid samples analyzed by the FASTrak service provide information on production potential of the reservoir, the design and development of production facilities, and completion and development costs. Before the capture and retrieval of fluid samples, it must be determined in real time what fluid is being pumped through the tool, and the FASTrak service makes that possible.
