This case study showcases how the application of EV’s ClearVision technology and PerforationVA service assisted an operator in Canada to successfully evaluate the perforations in their Montney well.

The evaluation of perforation efficiency is a critical component of optimizing production in unconventional wells. For an operator in Canada, achieving this goal necessitated quantifying the erosion profiles and ensuring the efficiency of the wellbore’s stage design. However, initial attempts to evaluate their perforations using standalone third-party ultrasound technology revealed significant gaps in the data. 

To overcome these challenges, the operator turned to EV's ClearVision technology - an innovative combination of 360 degree video and phased array ultrasound. The Optis Infinity camera delivers exceptional precision in dimensional measurement, while the high-resolution imaging from the ultrasonic array ensures comprehensive and detailed perforation evaluation, reducing the risks associated with incomplete or inaccurate data acquisition.
