摘要:
A communications path between a surface control system (142) and downhole equipment includes a network of wirelessly interconnected communication devices (114) that are located along a conduit (108). When the communications path fails or cannot be established during performance of a downhole operation, a mobile master communication tool (150) that is in communication with the surface system (142) can be deployed within the wireless range of one of the devices (114) to provide an alternative communication path between the surface system and the downhole equipment.

An electrical assembly of a downhole tool (110) utilized within a wellbore (10) extending into a subterranean formation (20). The electrical assembly includes a housing (220) substantially formed of thermoplastic material, an electronic device (240) sealed within the housing, and an electrode (132, 134, 250, 350, 450, 550, 560) or sensor (130, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700) sealingly embedded within a wall (222) of the housing and electrically connected with the electronic device.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for evaluating annular material using beamforming from acoustic arrays are provided. A logging tool may include one or more acoustic phased arrays, such as one or more transmitter arrays and one or more receiver arrays each having multiple transducer elements. The acoustic signals may be beamformed by independently pulsing array elements of the arrays to excite and detect desired wave modes in a casing or other material in a well. Parameters of the casing or other material in the well may be determined using the received acoustic signal.

An apparatus, such as a compact flotation unit, may include a tank having a fluid inlet. A cylinder may be disposed within the tank and have an open end. A first guide vane may be disposed about the cylinder, with the first guide vane having a portion axially aligned with the fluid inlet. A second guide vane may be disposed about the cylinder adjacent the open end thereof and may include a first end and a second end, with the first end of the second guide vane being axially offset from the second end of the second guide vane.

Systems and methods for reducing torque on a rotating downhole logging tool are provided. In one embodiment, a downhole logging tool is provided. The downhole logging tool (200) may include a support element (202), which may include a hollow cavity (226). The support element may be configured to rotate about an axis(214) when the support element is inserted in a well, and the hollow cavity may be configured to permit fluid flow through the support element when the support element is in the well. Furthermore, the downhole logging tool may include a first fairing portion (212A), which may include a first sensor (210A) to obtain measurements in the well. Additionally, the first fairing portion may be configured to form a revolution surface associated with a portion of the support element to reduce fluidic resistance of the rotating support element.

Apparatus and methods for optical and electrical sensing different phases of a multiphase fluid. The apparatus includes a cylindrical member (210) formed with an optically transparent material including a first end with a shaped tip (215) and a second end operable to receive an optical conductor (275). The apparatus also includes first and second electrodes (225, 230) disposed on the cylindrical member operable to receive first and second electrical conductors (260, 265), respectively.
摘要:
A method is disclosed and performed by collecting, by a volumetric sampler (50), a known volume of a sample from drilling fluid (28) exiting a well bore (12) penetrating a formation (14), the sample having a free gas and a dissolved gas. A first quantity of the free gas entrained in the sample is measured by a free gas detection system (52). The sample is transferred to a dissolved gas detection system (54) after the free gas in the sample is measured. The method is further performed by measuring a second quantity of the dissolved gas in the sample by the dissolved gas detection system. A total amount of one or more certain type of gas in a formation is estimated based on the first and second quantities.
摘要:
Systems, methods, and devices for evaluating proper cement installation in a well are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving acoustic cement evaluation data parameterized using a first parameterization. A subset of the acoustic cement evaluation data is compared to expected nominal values of the acoustic cement evaluation data. When the subset of the acoustic cement evaluation data does not substantially conform to the expected nominal values of the acoustic cement evaluation data, all or part of the acoustic cement evaluation data is corrected to cause the subset of the acoustic cement evaluation data to more closely match the expected nominal values of the acoustic cement evaluation data. The corrected acoustic cement evaluation data may be used to estimate a presence of solids, liquids, and/or gases behind the casing.
