摘要: A fiber optic distributed vibration system for detecting seismic signals in an earth formation is provided. The system includes a fiber optic cable deployed in a borehole that extends into the earth formation and which is configured to react along its length to a seismic wave incident on the fiber optic cable from outside the borehole. An optical source launches an optical signal into the fiber optic cable while the seismic wave is incident thereon. A receiver detects coherent Rayleigh noise (CRN) produced in response to the optical signal. A processing circuit processes the detected CRN signal to determine characteristics of the earth formation.

摘要: Optical fiber connections and their applications in downhole assemblies are described herein. The downhole assembly includes a well completion element with an end that couples with a corresponding well completion element. An optical fiber extends along at least a portion of the well completion element and transmits an optical signal using a first mode. The well completion element includes an optical fiber connector that is coupled to the optical fiber. The connector also includes a mode converter that receives the optical signal from the optical fiber and converts the optical signal from the first mode to a second larger mode. This second larger mode may be more robustly communicated to a corresponding optical fiber connector affixed to the corresponding well completion element.

摘要: A predetermined condition in a fluid-filled wellbore system can be detected by generating at least one sound in the wellbore system in response to the condition, such that a detectable change is created in some characteristic of the emitted sound, and detecting the at least one sound and the change, the detection being indicative that the predetermined condition has occurred. Equipment for facilitating detection of the condition can include a trigger operable in response to the condition; a generator operable to emit sound in the borehole and to create a detectable change in some characteristic of the emitted sound in response to the trigger; and at least one sensor operable to monitor the sound and detect the change, the detection being indicative that the predetermined condition has occurred. It is also possible to estimate a value of a property of a fluid-filled wellbore system. This can be accomplished by recording data including at least one of pressure and rate of flow at one or more locations in the wellbore system, and then estimating the value of the property by employing a model for predicting at least one of pressure and rate of flow dependent upon parameters detailing at least one of wellbore system geometry, viscoacoustic properties of the fluid and entrained solids contained in the wellbore system, locations of boundaries and entrained solids, and characteristics and locations of disturbances to pressure and flow in the wellbore system, in order to determine a best prediction of some attribute of the recorded data.

摘要: Methods and apparatus of adjusting matrix acidizing procedures are disclosed. An example method includes determining parameters of a wellbore fluid during a matrix acidizing procedure using at least a first sensor and a second sensor. The parameters include velocity of the wellbore fluid and a temperature difference between the first sensor and the second sensor. The method also includes, based on the parameters, determining a characteristic relative to an invasion length of a reactive fluid within the formation, the reactive fluid used in association with the matrix acidizing procedure.

摘要: Methods of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore may include injecting a multistage fracturing treatment into the wellbore comprising one or more stages of geopolymer precursor composition containing a geopolymer precursor and an activator, and one or more stages of a spacer fluid; and curing the one or more stages of geopolymer precursor composition. In another aspect, methods of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore may include injecting a multistage fracturing treatment into the wellbore that include one or more stages of geopolymer precursor composition, wherein the geopolymer precursor composition includes an emulsion having an oleaginous external phase, and an internal phase comprising one or more surfactants, a geopolymer precursor, and an activator, and one or more stages of a spacer fluid; and curing the one or more stages of geopolymer precursor composition.
