Abstract
Pressure-Temperature-Spinner surveys have been combined with water flow tracers to determine the flow characteristics of production wells and the optimum location in the well bore for placement of capillary tubing for scale inhibitor application. The combined techniques have determined the locations of thief zones, low velocity flow zones, fluid counterflow, fluid velocities and fluid flow rates.
