摘要:
The invention provides apparatus for use in a wellbore made of a casing and an annular with a fluid within, comprising: a reel of wound optic fiber line fixed to an object within the casing, and a light transmitter/receiver device able to generate a signal through the optic fiber line and to measure a change of said signal; wherein the optic fiber line is: (a) on a first position fixed to a reference point linked to the light transmitter/receiver device, and is (b) on a second position unwound from the reel; wherein the light transmitter/receiver device is able to measure the change of said signal when occurring at the second position; and the apparatus having a system able to measure the flow rate of the fluid exiting the annular at the surface level Q r . The apparatus can further comprise a sensor and/or an actuator.

A method of constructing a borehole (10) drilled with a drilling apparatus (16), the method comprises: connecting a flexible tubular liner sleeve around the outside of the drilling apparatus and connecting the sleeve (22) around an upper opening of the borehole so as to pass into the borehole; progressively extending the sleeve into the borehole as drilling progresses while maintaining connection to the drilling apparatus and borehole opening; at a predetermined point in the drilling, expanding the sleeve so as to contact the borehole wall; and setting the sleeve so as to be fixed to the borehole wall after expansion. Apparatus for use in such a method comprises: a flexible, expandable sleeve; a first connector for connecting the sleeve around the outside of a drilling assembly; and a second connector for connecting the sleeve around the opening of the borehole; wherein the sleeve is arranged to extend through the borehole between the connectors as drilling progresses.

The invention provides a system for measuring a parameter within a well, made of: a first apparatus comprising a first reel (41) of first wound optic fiber line (or fiber) able to be unwound from the first reel, at least a first sensor (51) able to measure the parameter of the well, wherein an information on said parameter can be transmitted trough the first optic fiber (11); a second apparatus comprising a second reel (40) of second wound optic fiber line able to be unwound from the second reel, an extremity of the second optic fiber (10) being fixed to a reference point; a light transmitter or receiver device (12) linked to the reference point and able to generate or detect a light pulse through the second optic fiber line (10); and means to exchange said light pulse between first (11) and second optic fiber line (10).
摘要:
Methods for adjusting the mechanical properties of cement systems include preparing a cement slurry containing water, an inorganic cement and at least two minerals. At least one of the minerals has a specific gravity higher than that of the cement at least one of the minerals has a specific gravity lower than that of the cement The slurry is allowed to harden and form a set cement. The concentrations of the cement and the minerals may be varied such that the slurry has a constant solid volume fraction and a constant slurry density.

摘要:
A method of stabilising an unconsolidated zone (18) of a borehole, including the steps of: forming a region of the borehole having enlarged diameter (22) in the unconsolidated zone when compared to the adjacent region above; positioning a fluid-filled casing (26) in the borehole extending across the unconsolidated zone and into the adjacent region above, the liner having a pipe (28) extending therethrough into a lower portion and being connected to a cement supply at the surface; pumping cement from the surface inside the pipe so as to exit the liner at the lower portion and flow upwards to fill the annulus (44) formed between the outside of the liner and the borehole in the unconsolidated zone and to extend into the adjacent region above; withdrawing the pipe (28) from the casing while pumping fluid therethrough so as to maintain the liner substantially fluid-filled and to displace cement above the liner in the adjacent region; and drilling through the cement and liner in the unconsolidated zone after the cement has set to form a borehole of substantially similar diameter to that of the adjacent region above.
