摘要: A method for monitoring well operations comprises sensing oscillations occurring in the well during a well operation and generating a signal indicative of the oscillations. The signal is processed into sensed data indicative of the oscillations sensed in the well, and the sensed data is then compared with reference data associated with previously detected well operations, to identify the well operation that generated the sensed oscillations. The system that performs the well monitoring, comprises one or more transducers configured to sense the oscillations, and a processing system in communication with the transducer which identifies the well operation and the device that caused the oscillations, based on comparisons of data indicative of the oscillations, with reference data associated with previously detected well operations.

摘要: An imaging agent, a method of production of the imaging agent, and the use of the imaging agent for microseismic monitoring of subterranean formations such as those generated during hydraulic fracturing. The acoustic emitting agent is tailorable for emission delay to ensure placement and frequency emission profiles for well region differentiation. This monitoring tool is highly useful in gas, oil, and geothermal well defining and stimulation monitoring.

摘要: An assembly and method for detecting cross bores involving a sewer system and a gas pipe includes an acoustic generator placed within an interior of the sewer system and an acoustic receiver placed either within an interior of the gas pipe or in proximity to an end of the gas pipe. The acoustic generator generates an acoustic signal to transmit through the interior of a sewer pipe of the sewer system. A controller detects, in response to the acoustic receiver hearing the acoustic signal, a cross bore involving the sewer pipe and the gas pipe. A microphone may be placed within the interior of the sewer system at a location remote from the acoustic generator. In this case, the controller determines, in response to the acoustic receiver not hearing the acoustic signal and the microphone hearing the acoustic signal, that a cross bore involving the sewer pipe and the gas pipe is absent.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for monitoring a wellbore object using a reflected pressure signal. The method discloses providing at least one pump for performing hydraulic fracturing or a source of hydraulic pulse so that pressure signal propagates along the wellbore and reflects from the borehole objects; providing pressure sensor at wellhead; preprocessing of registered reflected pressure signal and pump noise; transforming the registered reflected pressure signal and pump noise from the frequency domain into time-frequency representation with Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), computing a pump noise mask; applying the pump noise mask to the STFT representation to obtain a filtered reflected pressure signal; processing of the filtered reflected pressure signal for determining the reflection time from the downhole object, calculating the depth of the downhole object from reflected pressure signal by multiplying of the reflection time by the pressure signal propagation velocity. This method allows to perform wellbore monitoring without stop of current operations.

摘要: A system is provided including at least one pump for pumping a fluid into a wellbore, a pressure sensor provided at a wellhead of the wellbore for measuring a backpressure of the fluid being pumped into the wellbore, and a diagnostic manager. The diagnostic manager obtains pressure data associated with a pressure signal from the pressure sensor, wherein the pressure data includes pressure measurements of the fluid over a selected time period. The diagnostic manager converts, based on the pressure data, at least a portion of the pressure signal into frequency domain. The diagnostic manager detects a change in frequency of the pressure signal in the Fourier spectrum and determines that a fault associated with the wellbore has occurred based on the changed frequency of the pressure signal.

摘要: The disclosure presents processes to determine the direction and magnitude of tubing eccentricity along the length of a tube inserted within a borehole. The tubing can be a wireline, a drill string, a drill pipe, or tubing capable of allowing fluid or other material to flow through it. As borehole operations proceed, the tubing can move toward the side of the borehole. This eccentricity can cause excess wear and tear on the tubing, on the casing of the borehole, or on the inner surface of the subterranean formation. The eccentricity can be measured using acoustic signals that are collected downhole covering the azimuthal angles 0° to 360° at a location in the borehole. The collected signals can be filtered, transformed, and analyzed to estimate the tubing eccentricity. Other processes and systems can use the results to obtain cement bond evaluations through tubing and to determine preventative or restorative actions.

摘要: A method for logging in a well is disclosed. The method includes securing a passive logging while levitating (PLWL) assembly to a bottomhole assembly (BHA) to form a logging assembly and running the logging assembly into a wellbore of the well. The method further includes detecting a deviation in the wellbore, detecting a fluid flow direction around the logging assembly in the wellbore, activating the PLWL assembly based, at least in part, on the deviation in the wellbore and the fluid flow direction, and levitating the logging assembly in a center of the wellbore. The method also includes determining whether the logging assembly has reached a target depth and performing logging in the well while the logging assembly is levitating in the center of the wellbore.
