摘要:
A fracture sensing system and method is disclosed herein. The method may include positioning a transmitter and a receiver in a borehole and magnetizing a casing disposed within the borehole to magnetically saturate the casing. The transmitter and receiver may be located inside or outside of the casing. The method may also include inducing with the transmitter an electromagnetic field in a formation surrounding the borehole. The method may also comprise receiving the induced electromagnetic field at the receiver. The induced electromagnetic field may identify a fracture within the formation based, at least in part, on a contrast agent within the fracture.

A magnetostrictor assembly includes a magnetostrictor element, a conductor coupled to the magnetostrictor element, and a bluff body coupled to the magnetostrictor element via a transfer arm. The bluff body is to be placed in a fluid flow path to, at least in part, produce motion that, at least in part, causes strain in the magnetostrictor element.

A tool comprising a tool body (26) and tool electronics located within the tool body, wherein the tool electronics (916) are operable to sense a tool component characteristic indicative of tool performance such as temperature, acceleration, pressure, rotation, strain or vibration. At least some of the tool electronics are operable, at least for one week, when exposed to temperatures of at least 200 Celsius. The tool electronics may be integrated circuits formed on a silicon carbide substrate (602, 702) or a silicon on sapphire substrate (602, 702). One illustrative embodiment of the tool is a drill bit for employment in a high temperature drill well.

An example method for distributed sensing in a subterranean formation may include drilling to a first depth in the subterranean formation using a drilling device and detaching a first phase of the drilling device at the first depth. The first phase may include a first coil of line and a first sensor. The drilling assembly may drill to a second depth and decouple a second phase of the drilling device, with the second phase including a second coil of line and a second sensor. Measurements may be generated at the first and second depths using the first and second sensors, respectively.

In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to couple, in a substantially fluid- tight manner, a first tubular member (140') carrying a first set of tubular member conductors (124') to a hollow cylinder (104) . The hollow cylinder may include two or more sets of insulators having an equal number of insulating elements (120, 12S) located on the outer surface of the hollow cylinder, and two or more sets of conductors (110, 116) having an equal number of conducting elements defining pairs of conducting elements located on the outer surface . Each of the pairs of conducting elements may be insulated from the other pairs of conducting elements by the sets of insulators. Various embodiments may also operate to couple, in a substantially fluid-tight manner, a second tubular member (140'') carrying a second set of tubular member conductors to the hollow cylinder.

摘要:
Methods and apparatuses for drilling a borehole are disclosed. An electric motor electrically and mechanically coupled to a wired drill pipe is provided. The electric motor couples to a shaft that rotates when power is supplied to the electric motor. The shaft is couplable to a drill bit. The wired drill pipe transfers electricity to the electric motor from the surface. Operation of the electric motor rotates the shaft. The drill bit wears away earth to form the borehole in the earth.
