Abstract: Production logging (PL) is the industry standard method to evaluate wells and reservoir performance. This paper introduces guidelines for PL interpretation. The recommended interpretation strategy depends on an intensive study of hundreds of production logging cases covering the commonly encountered interpretation challenges in the Gulf of Suez. This study has three main objectives: the first is selecting the best water-oil slippage model; the second is finding an alternative for spinner to quantify flow rate; and the third is selecting the best liquid-gas slippage model. There are also other challenges that the study finds solutions to understand and solve all of them. The study finds that temperature and bubble counts are good alternatives for spinner data. In addition, ABB-deviated and Artep models are the best water-oil and liquid-gas slippage models. [Received: September 29, 2019; Accepted: February 12, 2020]
