    Abstract: Systems and techniques of the present disclosure may correct sensed data to account for an offset position of an imaging tool that is deployed in a wellbore. When an imaging tool is deployed at a location that does not coincide with a center point of the wellbore, images generated from acquired data may be distorted as some of image data will be collected at locations closer to a wellbore wall than other image data. Since the resolution of a sensing device varies with distance, the resolution of data collected by a sensing device will vary with distance that separates the sensing device from the wellbore wall. Furthermore, judgments of distance to features of the wellbore wall may also be distorted because of this offset. As such, systems and techniques of the present disclosure are directed to adjust collected image data to correct for both distance and resolution related effects.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques to identify material properties from measured physical response data in ways that are more efficient than conventional numerical inversion. Systems and techniques of the present disclosure may use machine learning (ML) techniques to generate mappings that map specific physical responses to specific material properties based on knowledge of factors that may be inherent to certain types of sensing equipment. Data generated by a ML computer model may be constrained, altered, or filtered to more closely correspond to characteristics known to be associated with a certain type of sensing equipment. Such a constrained model may identify fewer possible results as compared to an unconstrained model, thereby, solving problems that may be encountered when using ML techniques to identify material properties from measured responses.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for measuring the oil to water ratio of a wellbore fluid. An example method includes flowing the wellbore fluid into a flow path of a fluid identification device disposed on the outside of a wellbore tubing and within a wellbore annulus. The fluid identification device comprises a shroud, the flow path disposed within the shroud that opens to the wellbore annulus and fluidically links the wellbore annulus to the wellbore tubing thereby allowing fluid flow through the flow path from the wellbore annulus to the wellbore tubing, and an alternating current electrical sensor disposed within the flow path. The method further includes measuring a property of the wellbore fluid with the alternating current electrical sensor when the wellbore fluid has flowed into the flow path and determining the oil to water ratio of the wellbore fluid that flowed through the flow path.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for configuring links or switches that connect analog circuit elements. These analog circuit elements may be connected to a plurality of sensors that may sense different types of data. For example, these sensors may sense acoustic data, electromagnetic (EM) data, temperature, pressure, and possibly other metrics that may be located in a wellbore of an oil or gas well. These analog circuits may be configured as needed (e.g., on-the-fly) to perform optimized types of computations that may include the solving of differential equations. Examples of analog circuits that may be incorporated into a sensing system include yet are not limited to operational amplifier circuits or memcomputing devices, other components, or combinations thereof. Configured analog circuits may be coupled to digital electronics that perform other functions.
