<- Back FlowTracker I During Connection This first graph is the data acquired from making a connection. As the pipe is moved up or down in the wellbore (See Hook Position) and the pumps are off (See Pump Strokes), we see a rise in flow velocity. The flow rate does not increase confirming flow from the wellbore. The flow velocity is consistent with fluid displacement caused from lowering pipe into the hole (See Pumps). FlowTracker I Showing a Confirmed "Kick" During a Connection In this example, notice that there is no pipe movement, or pump strokes, but there is wheel velocity and increased flow rate. This confirms that the wellbore is producing approximately 1.5 m³/min. or 396 GPM of fluid.
