摘要:
Disclosed are systems, methods, and apparatuses to detect one or more downhole laterals in a wellbore using electromagnetic sensors. Certain embodiments include a subsurface unit including a ruggedized encapsulation resistant to heat, pressure, and variations in pH. The systems and apparatuses are communicable with surface controls.

Provided are systems and methods for drilling a horizontally-oriented well having a sigmoid-shaped wellbore including an upper sigmoid portion having a downward curving wellbore trajectory and a lower sigmoid portion having an upward curving wellbore trajectory. The upper sigmoid portion having a first trajectory having a generally horizontal gradient at an entry point of the wellbore and that increases in downward gradient to a vertical gradient at an inflection point. The lower sigmoid portion having a second trajectory that includes the vertical gradient at the inflection point and that decreases in downward gradient to a generally horizontal gradient at a horizontal transition point of the wellbore.

This present invention generally relates to the issue of signal obstruction in down hole applications. This invention relates to conformal coatings and down hole transmission systems to aid in transmission of wireless signals down hole. The conformal coating includes a substrate material that has an array of rods embedded therein. These embedded rods are made of a Mie Resonance based dielectric material.
摘要:
A method for measuring the depth of a wellbore having a motherbore and a lateral bore, using an infrasound wave generator (26). The infrasound waves (30) have a low frequency and a wavelength that is much larger than the transverse dimensions of the well (10). When the infrasound waves (30) are directed down the well (10), the well (10) will act as a wave guide for low frequency excitations. The infrasound waves (30) can be used to probe well (10) geometry. The resonance of the infrasound waves (30) can be observed to indicate that the waves have reached the bottom the well (10), and the depth of the motherbore and the lateral bore can be calculated based on the number of wavelengths of infrasound waves (30) that have entered the well (10) when the resonance is observed.
