Popis: Digital Slickline (DSL) Technology for production logging has been successfully implemented in South East Kuwait (SEK) oil fields. This advanced technology enabled Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) to save significant amount of deferred production and operational cost without compromising on the data quality. In addition, it reshaped how the operator performed surveillance operations through a more efficient workflow.A detailed analysis was carried out in more than 11 wells where production logging was acquired with DSL. Comparing the new workflow to the traditional workflow showed that DSL implementation saved around 51,000 barrels of deferred oil production and improved operational efficiency by 72% compared to the conventional workflow, without compromising on data quality during both real time and interpretation stages.Based on these results, KOC decided to implement this workflow in majority of the wells and now it has become the standard for production profiling in ESP wells.
