Halliburtons ACX Service Key Features

Uses an array of acoustic sensors

Finalized product capability:
Detects oil/gas/water flow in tubing, casing annuli, behind
casing, and downhole components such as packers
Geometrically isolates phase movement point within 1-m
depth resolution
Estimates radial location of communication

Characterizes detected flow:

Estimates communicational flow rate (based on empirical
models)
Estimates flow composition oil, gas, water, multiphase
