Abstract: Various embodiments provide a method of simulating a leak in a pipeline. The method includes: receiving a fluid stream from a fluid supply; and outputting the received fluid stream through an outlet such that the received fluid stream hits an outer surface of the pipeline at a location opposite the outlet such that a vibration is caused in the pipeline. Some other embodiments provide a corresponding system for simulating a leak in a pipeline, and a corresponding outlet for coupling a conduit to a pipeline.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for determining whether an event has occurred from dynamic strain measurements involve determining, using a processor, at least one event parameter from a signal representing the dynamic strain measurements, and then having the processor use the at least one event parameter to determine whether the event has occurred. The at least one event parameter is any one or more of a measure of magnitude of the signal, frequency centroid of the signal, filtered baseline of the signal, harmonic power of the signal, and time-integrated spectrum flux of the signal.

Abstract: A device and system for detecting dynamic strain. The device comprises a longitudinally extending carrier and an optical fiber embedded along an outer surface of a length of the carrier. The optical fiber comprises at least one pair of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) tuned to reflect substantially identical wavelengths. The system comprises the device and an interrogator comprising a laser source and a photodetector. The interrogator is configured to perform interferometry by shining laser light along the optical fiber and detecting light reflected by the FBGs. The interrogator outputs dynamic strain measurements based on interferometry performed on the reflected light.

Abstract: A method for determining relative location of an acoustic event along a channel such as a wellbore includes obtaining two acoustic signals at are obtained at two different and known depths in the wellbore, dividing the acoustic signals into windows, and determining the relative loudnesses of pairs of the windows. The power of the acoustic signals may be used as a proxy for the loudness of the acoustic event, and this determination can be made in the time or frequency domains. The relative depth of the acoustic event can then be determined relative to the two known depths from the relative loudnesses. The acoustic event may be, for example, casing vent flow, gas migration, a leak along a pipeline, or sounds observed in an observation well from a nearby well in which fracking is being performed.

Abstract: A sound baffle device for use with an acoustic sensor deployed in a housing by a deployment line is disclosed. The sound baffle device comprises a radially extending baffle plate and an affixing mechanism for affixing the baffle plate to the deployment line. The baffle plate is configured to reduce acoustic transmission between a first zone of the housing on one side of the baffle plate and a second zone of the housing on an opposite side of the baffle plate. A system for detecting acoustic signals in a zone of interest in a housing is also disclosed. The system comprises an acoustic sensor positioned in the zone of interest and one or more than one sound baffle positioned between the zone of interest and a first zone of the housing. The sound baffle is configured to reduce acoustic transmission from the first zone to the zone of interest. The sound baffle provides some level of acoustic isolation between two zones on either side of the baffle plate thereby aiding detection and identification of acoustic signals in the zone of interest by reducing transmission of acoustic signals from the first zone to the zone of interest.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting acoustic signals in housing is disclosed. The housing may be housing of a wellbore, riser, tubular or pipeline or the like for transporting fluids or housing of a vessel for storing fluids. The apparatus comprises a longitudinally extending tube having an internal surface and an external surface, a longitudinally extending fibre optic cable disposed within the tube, and one or more than one longitudinally extending outer fins radially extending outwards from and coupled with the external surface of the tube. The outer fin is configured to project towards the housing and allows fluid between the external surface of the tube and the housing when the apparatus is positioned in the housing. The apparatus may alternatively comprise a longitudinally extending fibre optic cable coated with a coating and one or more than one longitudinally extending outer fin radially extending outwards from and coupled with the coated fibre optic cable.

Abstract: There are described methods and systems for deploying optical fiber within a conduit. In one aspect, an optical fiber injector comprising a pressure vessel having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The fluid outlet is engaged with an open end of the conduit. A length of optical fiber is provided within the pressure vessel. The optical fiber is then jetted into the conduit by injecting a fluid into the pressure vessel via the fluid inlet. The optical fiber injector is configured such that the fluid is directed from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, and urges the optical fiber to move through the conduit, thereby deploying the optical fiber within the conduit. In a further aspect, there is provided a modular assembly comprising a pipeline and a line of two or more conduits arranged end-to-end. Each pair of opposing ends of adjacent conduits is connected together by a separate splice box. The line is positioned along and adjacent to a length of the pipeline.
