Through Tubing Cement Evaluation
The Through Tubing Cement Evaluation Tool (TTCE) is a 3-1/8-inch O.D. advanced well integrity monitoring instrument that utilizes innovative cement evaluation technology to evaluate cement behind a second pipe string (annulus B) while logging inside a production tubing pipe.
This novel technology uses “Forced Acoustic Mie Resonance” principle where the measurements are made by inducing resonance in the surrounding elastic structure comprising all the tubulars and annuli materials.
Unlike a conventional wave propagation method, TTCE design does not use TX/RX transducers but instead relies on the low-frequency, narrow-band energy that forces structural resonance. Through careful frequency selection, the Mie resonance peak(s) with the most sensitivity to the second barrier cement interface are detected and measured.
