摘要: A system or apparatus for use in downhole communication or detection comprises a downhole arrangement defining a throughbore and primary and secondary elements. One of the primary and secondary elements is provided on the downhole arrangement and the other of the primary and secondary elements is provided in the throughbore. The primary and secondary elements are configurable for coupling of an electromagnetic field therebetween. The primary or secondary element which is provided in the throughbore may be provided on a tool such as a shifting tool which is deployable through the throughbore. The secondary element may be configured to provide the electromagnetic field coupled between the first and second elements with one or more characteristic features. The system may be configured for use, in particular though not exclusively, for communicating information to and/or from a downhole tool in an oil or gas well.

摘要: A sensor system for a sub-sea oil and gas well includes a casing, a transmit coil, a receive coil, and a processor. The casing defines an interior space through which a drilling pipe string transits. The transmit coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to conduct a current pulse and induce an electromagnetic field within the interior space. The electromagnetic field corresponds with the current pulse and interacts with the drilling pipe string. The receive coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to detect the electromagnetic field, including perturbations of the electromagnetic field due to the drilling pipe string's interaction therewith. The processor is coupled to the transmit coil and the receive coil. The processor is configured to compute a diameter of the drilling pipe string based on the current pulse and the electromagnetic field detected by the receive coil.

摘要: The operational position of a moveable device is detected using an electromagnetic induction logging tool. The logging tool generates a baseline log of the moveable device in a non-actuated position, and a response log of the moveable device in an actuated position. The baseline and response logs are then compared in order to determine the operational position of the moveable device.

摘要: This disclosure provides a method and device for detecting the damage rate of an inner coating of a downhole oil casing. The method includes filling the oil casing with electrolyte, obtaining the well depth-detection current on a discharge electrode in a process of moving the discharge electrode from one end of the oil casing to the other end of the oil casing, and determining a well depth-damage rate state of the inner coating of the oil casing according to the well depth-detection current. This application can realize quantitative judgment for the damage rate of an inner coating of a downhole oil casing, resulting in rapid in detection speed, convenient and safe in operation, and low detection cost.

摘要: A crack detecting system operable to detect cracks along a conduit or structure includes a tool movable along a conduit or structure and having at least one sensing device for sensing cracks in a wall of the conduit or structure, and a processor operable to process an output of the at least one sensing device. Responsive to processing of the output by the processor, the processor is operable to determine cracks at the wall of the conduit or structure. The at least one sensing device employs excitation in the form of a high current continuous or pulse wave that is applied to a magneto-mechanical impedance transducer/sensor coil to generate a mechanical wave in the conduit or structure.

摘要: A system (100) for positioning a working tool (21) in a wellbore (1). The positioning system (100) comprises a casing element (110) with a marker (111, 112, 113) provided on an inner surface, the marker (111, 112, 113) having a distinct diameter different from the inner diameter of the casing element (110). The system further comprises a positioning tool (120) with a latching element (121, 122) adapted to form a latch (115) with the marker (111, 112, 113), and a force detector (130) adapted to detect an axial latching force (FL) applied to a tubing string (20) from the latch (115) when the casing element (110) is located within the wellbore (1) and the force detector (130) is located at a surface (2) outside the wellbore (1).

摘要: An arrangement and an associated method are described in which a boring tool is moved through the ground within a given region along a path in which region a cable is buried. The boring tool and the cable transmit a boring tool locating signal and a cable locating signal, respectively. Intensities of the boring tool locating signal and the cable locating signal are measured along with a pitch orientation of the boring tool. Using the measured intensities and established pitch orientation, a positional relationship is determined to relative scale including at least the boring tool and the cable in the region. The positional relationship is displayed to scale in one view. The positional relationship may be determined and displayed including the forward locate point in scaled relation to the boring tool and the cable. Cable depth determination techniques are described including a two-point ground depth determination method.
