Global oil services company VIVID, which specialises in well integrity, has developed a system that uses acoustic technology to help detect leaks in real time. The Archer platform uses full-spectrum acoustic sensors, which can accurately measure downhole events with a high level of precision, enabling even low energy leaks to be detected. The system has been independently tested, and has a range of applications including casing and completion evaluation, detecting the sealing quality of cement, and mapping turbulent flows in real time.
