ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring a water effect on an underground non-water well includes the steps of assembling a history of water cut (WC) measurements for the well over an extended period of time, determining a water cut rate of change (R) for the well based upon the history of water cut measurements, wherein the water cut rate of change is defined as follows:ⅆ(WC)ⅆ(t)=R,and identifying whether an anomaly exists based on the determined R.
