    Abstract: A system including a sonic source deployed in a first borehole and a fiber optic distributed sensor deployed in a second borehole, both boreholes extending from an earth surface into a formation. The optical fiber is configured to react along its length to incident sonic waves generated by the sonic source and propagating through the first borehole, through the formation, and through the second borehole. The system further includes an optical source to launch optical pulses into the fiber optic distributed sensor while the sonic waves are incident on the fiber optic distributed sensor. The system also includes a data acquisition system coupled to the fiber optic distributed sensor to detect temporal variations in coherent Rayleigh noise (CRN) generated in the fiber optic distributed sensor in response to the optical pulses and the incident sonic waves; and a computer system configured to receive data from the data acquisition system.

    Abstract: A method for wellbore treatment. The method including preparing an encapsulated treatment agent via polymerization, feeding the encapsulated treatment agent into the wellbore, delivering the encapsulated treatment agent to a desired depth within a formation in the wellbore, activating an acoustic or an electromagnetic source at the desired depth within the formation, and generating an acoustic field or an electromagnetic field. The acoustic field or electromagnetic field activates the encapsulant thereby releasing the treatment agent into the wellbore and a desired depth.

    Abstract: A system for treating a lost circulation zone within a wellbore that includes a treatment sub 300 is provided. The treatment sub 300 includes a communications device, an internal fluid conduit 1016 configured to convey a wellbore fluid through the treatment sub 100, and the interior 327 of the treatment sub 300 is between a sub exterior surface 328 and the internal fluid conduit 1016. The treatment sub 300 also includes a radiation source 352 configured to generate a form of radiation within a wellbore fluid. Further provided are methods of using the system to treat loss circulation zones.

    Abstract: A well treatment composition may include a capsule and a treatment agent solution within the capsule. The treatment agent solution may have a treatment agent. The system may include a radiation source: neutron, gamma, X-ray, and/or ultraviolet. A method may include introducing the well treatment composition downhole in wellbore circulation fluid, and introducing a radiation source into the wellbore and positioning the radiation source. The method may include activating the radiation source and emitting radiation that intermingles with the well treatment composition at a target location. The method may include maintaining the wellbore to allow emitted radiation from the activated radiation source to react with the well treatment composition, forming a radiation activated well treatment composition. The method may include allowing the radiation activated well treatment composition to disintegrate or dissolve, breaking encapsulation and releasing treatment agent at the target location.
