Abstract: Temperature data collected from a distributed temperature sensing system may be used to prepare a temporal thermal profile of the wellbore. The temporal thermal profile may be used to determine a generalized heat transfer coefficient (k) and/or a generalized geothermal profile (Tae). The temporal thermal profile and the generalized heat transfer coefficient (k) and/or the generalized geothermal profile (Tae) may be used to estimate thermal properties of a wellbore, such as well as fluid and flow characteristics. A heat of hydration index may also be determined based on the temporal thermal profile.

Abstract: Locating a loss zone while cementing a well casing in a well bore includes: inserting a fiber-optic cable into the well bore, wherein the fiber optic cable is part of one or more Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing (DFOS) systems; detecting a loss circulation signature, while cementing the well casing, at a point along the fiber-optic cable by at least one of the one or more DFOS systems; and locating the loss zone within the well bore based on the point along the fiber-optic cable at which the loss circulation signature was detected.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and apparatus structured to install an optical fiber cable into a well at a well site. In a from-bottom-to-top embodiment, an anchor deployed at a selected location in a hole of the well can be used and the optical fiber cable can be pulled up to a surface of the well from the selected location. In a from-top-to-bottom embodiment, an optical fiber cable can be moved down from the surface until an end of the optical fiber cable is locked at a selected location by a catcher disposed at the selected location. With the optical fiber cable in the well, a portion of the optical fiber cable can be coupled to surface instrumentation. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods can be implemented in a variety of applications.

Abstract: A system can calculate estimated strain data for a fracture in a geological formation at each of a plurality of selected locations detectable by a strain measurement device. The system can receive real strain data from the strain measurement device for the geological formation. The system can perform a linear inversion to determine a probable distribution of fluid volume and hydraulic fracture orientation in the geological formation based on the estimated strain data and real strain data. The system can determine adjustments for a fracturing operation based on the linear inversion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for improving the performance of downhole Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) systems by simultaneous use of co-propagating and counter-propagating Distributed Raman Amplification (DRA). It uses a surface DRA system with a surface DAS system to combine their laser sources where the distal end of the downhole sensing fiber use uses a Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) to optically split the DRA and DAS signals onto two optical fibers. The DAS fiber/signal is terminated with a low reflectance termination to minimize a potential back reflection whereas the DRA fiber is terminated with a high reflectance termination causing all the light to reflect back up the sensing fiber. This arrangement allows for simultaneous co and counter-propagating DRA of the DAS signals, both the transmitted pulse and the back scattered light, thus creating the maximum amount of gain possible.

Abstract: Multi-well fracture control incorporates physical well properties into a model for fracture geometry to determine optimal mitigation techniques for well interference effects. Sensors in a monitoring well and a treatment well measure well properties during fluid injection and pumping in the treatment well. The measurement data is used to constrain fracture geometry model. The fracture geometry model is then used to calculate fracture growth rates and direction which are used to calculate an estimated time for the occurrence of well interference effects in the multi-well system. From the fracture geometry model, fracture growth rates and direction, and the estimated time for the occurrence of well interference, locations of potential well interference effects are predicted. A mitigation strategy is planned based on the predicted location and time of well interference events. Treatment actions can be taken in anticipation of the well interference events.

Abstract: Screen-outs can be detected from acoustical signals in a wellbore. Data based on an acoustic signal generated during a hydraulic fracturing operation in a wellbore formed through a subterranean formation can be received. An expected total flow rate of fluid being injected into the wellbore can be determined based on the data. An actual total flow rate of the fluid being injected into the wellbore can be determined. A screen-out that occurred can be identified by comparing the expected total flow rate and the actual total flow rate.

Abstract: A new approach to pipeline pigging using electro acoustic technology (EAT) is described in which the data from a pigging operation can be transmitted in real time to optical fiber on the outside of the pipeline and detected using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) techniques, including the precise location, velocity and acceleration of the pig using the DAS technique. Thus the sensor data can easily be mapped to its precise location in real time. The EAT sensors use the DAS fiber as a data transmission line by converting electrical or optical signals to acoustic signals which excite the fiber and can be detected by an interrogator at the pig launch site.

Abstract: An electro acoustic technology (EAT) based micro seismic sensor and tiltmeter system and method is described for the measurement of minute deformations in downhole formations caused by hydraulic fracturing or other sources of pore pressure changes. A number of sensor arrays are described that are installed in clamp-on EAT devices installed in tool wells located in close proximity to hydraulically fractured wells.
