Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing, acidizing and polymer injection using coiled tubing are commonly used techniques in wellbore completion. A pulsed neutron tool may be conveyed at the bottom of the coiled tubing to monitor the effectiveness of these operations by measuring the flow velocity of the borehole fluid of the annulus between the pulsed neutron tool and the borehole wall. Gamma rays resulting from Oxygen activation and/or∑ measurements are used for measuring the flow velocity.
