Scanite: the future of digital well integrity monitoring
Scanite is a smart, acoustically-responsive cement technology that reduces cement job uncertainty with advanced diagnostic capabilities. Scanite represents a game-changer for the unified digital oil field and monitoring of well integrity.
Management
Scanite technology adds remarkable risk-reduction value by directly allowing operators to manage critical formation issues across zones.
Insight
Provides invaluable well integrity data by returning accurate monitoring and detection of cement stresses and functions with existing acoustic logging tools.
Intelligence
Immediate analysis and notification of cement integrity and bonding, contamination of placed cement, and mechanical stresses on the well.
A Game Changer
Delivering critical well integrity information not possible until now.
The Challenge
Improved sensing and data are required to realize the “Unified Digital Oil Field” of the future, but real-time well integrity information is not currently available today. Scanite changes this with, delivering easily read data using existing acoustic logging tools.
