    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: Systems and methods for exchanging fracturing components of a hydraulic fracturing unit and may include an exchangeable fracturing component section to facilitate quickly exchanging a fracturing component of a hydraulic fracturing unit. The fracturing component section may include a section frame including a base, and a fracturing component connected to the base. The fracturing component section also may include a component electrical assembly and a component fluid assembly connected to the section frame. The fracturing component section further may include a coupling plate connected to the section frame. The fracturing component section also may include one or more of a plurality of quick-connect electrical couplers or a plurality of quick-connect fluid couplers connected to a coupling plate. The quick-connect electrical and fluid couplers may be positioned to receive respective electrical and fluid connections of the component electrical and fluid assemblies and connect to other portions of the hydraulic fracturing unit.

    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.
