Abstract:
Methods and systems of electromagnetic sensing in a wellbore are presented in this disclosure for monitoring annulus fluids and water floods. An array of transmitters and one or more receivers are located along a casing in the wellbore. A transmitter in the array and one of the receivers can be mounted on a same collar on the casing forming a transmitter-receiver pair. The receiver can receive a signal originating from the transmitter and at least one other signal originating from at least one other transmitter in the array, wherein the signal is indicative of a fluid in the wellbore in a vicinity of the transmitter-receiver pair and the at least one other signal is indicative of another fluid in a formation around the wellbore. The receiver can further communicate, via a waveguide, the signal and the at least one other signal to a processor for signal interpretation.
