    摘要: An electronic device includes a body having a threaded portion configured to co-operate with a threaded portion of a duct in a sleeve in order to move the device into a final position when the device is turned. The electronic device also includes a hole punch configured to form a through orifice in a pipe while the device is being turned and to enable the device to be inserted into the final position. The electronic device further includes an electronic module configured to be in contact with a fluid passing through the pipe when the device is in the final position. In addition, the electronic device includes at least one electrical connection connected to the electronic module and passing through the body leading to a top face of the body. The body and the at least one electrical connection form a plug of the duct in the sleeve.

    摘要: The system for operating and monitoring a well for extracting or storing an operating fluid, such as natural gas, comprises a production column in which the operating fluid flows, a protective casing arranged around the production column, and a cement sheath interposed between the casing and a rock formation through which the well extends. The system further comprises, outside the casing, between the casing and the cement sheath, a series of electronic units distributed in predetermined positions in a succession of planes perpendicular to the casing and spaced apart axially along the casing. Each electronic unit comprises communication means enabling the electronic unit to communicate with another electronic unit or with a surface terminal, a power supply unit of the electronic unit, and at least one of the following elements: a) a detector unit comprising at least one sensor for sensing a physical or chemical magnitude, and b) a signal processor unit.
