On the basis of the petrotechnical evaluation, the operator set a bridge plug to isolate the water-
bearing zone and perforated three intervals using a 278-in PURE* perforating system for clean
perforations with deep penetrating PowerJet Omega* shaped charges to perforate through any
formation damage and create clean perforation tunnels.
Post intervention, the three new intervals were producing 27.5-MMcf/d gas, 997-bbl/d oil, and only
1.7% water.

In sigma mode, the RST tool runs an optimized Dual-Burst timing sequence and measures the time decay of the
population of capture gamma rays after each burst. The time decay of late-capture (long-burst) gamma rays
is dominated by the macroscopic sigma of the formation and is used to deduce water saturation if the water
salinity is known and sufficiently high. The time decay of early-capture (short-burst) gamma rays is primarily
sensitive to borehole salinity. The ratio of near- to far-detector capture count rates (TRAT) is used to compute
the thermal neutron formation porosity. The ratio of far- to near-detector burst-on count rates (IRAT) provides
a gas indicator that is independent of thermal neutron absorbers.
