Tatneft finds way to precisely determine water cut

Tatneft has found a way to determine the water cut directly in oil wells. The extension of the study to determine the water content from laboratories to high-yield wells, equipped with electrical submersible pump unit, increased the volume of the sample. If before it consisted of milliliters, now - cubic meters of liquid.

Thus, the opportunity to more accurately determine the profitability of highly watered wells was recaived, head of theoil and gas fields development division of NGDU Elkhovneft Rinat Aflyatunov, inventor, reported.
