PLATO DTS

Advanced DTS Data Interpretation for Oil & Gas Upstream Applications

PLATO-DTS is a leading software solution that enhances Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) data analysis by converting raw data into actionable insights. It goes beyond traditional visualization to provide detailed quantitative analysis, enabling operators in the oil and gas upstream industry to optimize well performance and make data-driven decisions.

Advanced DTS Data Interpretation Through Enthalpy Balance Modeling

The software processes the temperature data from DTS, optimizes a full wellbore model to accurately calculate quantitative production and injection profiles over a stable flow period.
PLATO-DTS is designed to interpret DTS data from production, injection, and shut-in wells by utilizing a comprehensive enthalpy balance model. This model accounts for heat transfer mechanisms such as conduction, convection, frictional heating, Joule-Thompson cooling, skin effect, and phase changes.
Delivers reliable results during warmback and flowback in fractured wells.
The software handles complex geometries and is well-suited for permanent well monitoring.

Data from permanent DFOS installations are automatically imported, processes and displayed over time. Changes in well behavior are highlighted, and analysis results are exported with generated reports.

Key Features of PLATO-DTS

Visualization, Analysis and Real-Time Monitoring

Advanced Visualization Tools

PLATO-DTS offers a variety of display modes, including trace display, animation, and colormap visualization. These features allow operators to assess temperature changes along the wellbore and highlight critical patterns before performing in-depth analysis.

Quantitative Analysis

The software delivers detailed quantitative production and injection profiles using advanced thermal models. Data from other tools (including pressure points and logging tools) can be integrated with DTS data to enable multi-phase analysis and enhance result quality.

Permanent Well Monitoring

DTS data from permanent fiber optic installations is processed, providing production profiles. Any changes in the wellbore are immediately highlighted, enabling rapid decision-making.

Simulation Capabilities

A unique feature of PLATO-DTS is its simulation tool, which predicts the feasibility of DTS deployment, identifies weak points, and forecasts the system’s sensitivity to various conditions such as phase or rate changes.

Optimizing Oil & Gas Upstream Operations

PLATO-DTS is designed for critical applications in oil and gas upstream operations, where real-time data interpretation is key to optimizing performance and maintaining safety. Key applications include:

Production Well Monitoring

Continuous real-time monitoring of production wells to assess and optimize production rates while identifying any inefficiencies or changes in well behavior.

Injection Well Management

PLATO-DTS helps operators fine-tune injection profiles to ensure the optimal use of wellbore resources while maintaining integrity and performance.

Shut-In Well Analysis

Even during periods of inactivity, DTS data can provide valuable insights into well conditions, ensuring operational safety and readiness for when production resumes.

Fracturing Operations

Monitoring hydraulic fracturing operations becomes more efficient with the software’s ability to track thermal behavior, helping operators ensure well integrity during warmback and flowback.
