    Abstract: A system for processing acoustic data to identify an event includes a receiver unit including a processor and a memory. The receiver unit is configured to receive a signal from a sensor disposed along a sensor path or across a sensor area. A processing application is stored in the memory. The processing application, when executed on the processor, configures the processor to: receive the signal from the sensor, where the signal includes an indication of an acoustic signal received at one or more lengths along the sensor path or across a portion of the sensor area and the signal is indicative of the acoustic signal across a frequency spectrum; determine a plurality of frequency domain features of the signal across the frequency spectrum; and generate an output comprising the plurality of frequency domain features.

    Abstract: A method of detecting an event within a wellbore includes obtaining a sample data set, determining a plurality of frequency domain features of the sample data set, comparing the plurality of frequency domain features with an event signature, determining that the plurality of frequency domain features matches the thresholds, ranges, or both of the event signature, and determining the presence of the event within the wellbore based on determining that the plurality of frequency domain features match the thresholds, ranges, or both of the event signature. The sample data set is a sample of an acoustic signal originating within a wellbore including a fluid. The sample data set is representative of the acoustic signal across a frequency spectrum. The event signature includes a plurality of thresholds, ranges, or both corresponding to the plurality of frequency domain features.

    Abstract: A method of abandoning a wellbore can include obtaining a first sample data set within a wellbore, wherein the first sample data set is a sample of an acoustic signal originating within the wellbore; determining a plurality of frequency domain features of the first sample data set; identifying a fluid flow location within the wellbore using the first plurality of frequency domain features; setting a barrier at or above the fluid flow location; obtaining a second sample data set above the barrier, wherein the second sample data set is a sample of an acoustic signal originating within the wellbore above the barrier; determining a second plurality of frequency domain features of the second sample data set; and identifying that a fluid flow rate or flow mechanism at the fluid flow location has been reduced or eliminated and/or identifying another fluid flow location using the second plurality of frequency domain features.

    Abstract: A method of detecting sand inflow into a wellbore is disclosed. The method can include obtaining a sample data set, detecting a broadband signal within the sample data set, comparing the broadband signal with a signal reference, determining that the broadband signal meets or exceeds the signal reference, and determining the presence of sand inflow into the wellbore based on determining that the broadband signal meets or exceeds the signal reference. The sample data set can be a sample of an acoustic signal originating within a wellbore comprising a fluid, and the broadband signal at least includes a portion of the sample data set at frequencies above 0.5 kHz.

    Abstract: A method of detecting a leak event within a wellbore can include inducing a pressure differential within a wellbore comprising a fluid, obtaining a sample data set representative of the acoustic signal across a frequency spectrum while inducing the pressure differential, determining a plurality of frequency domain features of the sample data set, determining a presence of a leak event at one or more depths within the wellbore based on determining that the plurality of frequency domain features match a leak event signature, correlating the leak event with the induced pressure differential, and determining a presence and location of a leak within the wellbore based on the presence of the leak event and the correlating of the leak event with the induced pressure differential.
