    摘要: A flow diverter having a first conical section, a second conical section, and support legs. The first conical section comprises an outside surface tapering from a first end to a second end. The first end of the first conical section comprises a rounded nose. The second conical section comprises an outside surface tapering from a first end to a second end. The first end of the second conical section comprises a rounded nose. The second end of the first section can contact or be integrated with the second end of the second section, or an intermediate section can be positioned therebetween. The intermediate section can comprise a substantially cylindrical outer surface extending from the second end of the first conical section to the second end of the second conical section. The support legs are configured to fixedly couple the flow diverter to a tubular.

    摘要: A method and a system for injecting multiple tracer tag fluids into the wellbore are described. The method includes determining multiple injection concentrations of multiple respective tracer tag fluids, determining an injection sequence of the tracer tag fluids into a wellbore, and injecting the tracer tag fluids into the wellbore according to the injection concentrations and the injection sequence. The tracer tag fluids include synthesized polymeric nanoparticles suspended in a solution. The synthesized polymeric nanoparticles are configured bind to a wellbore cutting. The synthesized polymeric nanoparticles are configured to undergo a thermal de-polymerization at a respective temperature and generate a unique mass spectra. The injection sequence includes an injection duration determined by a depth interval of the wellbore to be tagged by the synthesized polymeric nanoparticles and an injection pause to prevent mixing the multiple tracer tag fluids in the wellbore.

    摘要: A system for testing of leaking past a well barrier. The system includes a well including a wellbore and a upper wellbore termination means. A barrier is provided in the wellbore, the barrier having an upstream side below the barrier and a downstream side above the barrier. The system further includes a tracer and a storage means for storing said tracer, the storage means being provided below the barrier in the well. A release mechanism is configured for releasing the tracer from the storage means, wherein a pressure differential is established across the barrier for driving tracer from the upstream side to the downstream side of the barrier. A detector is configured for detecting the tracer that has leaked through the barrier, the detector being provided in the wellbore between said barrier and said upper wellbore termination means.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to methods for evaluating a gravel pack, a frac-pack, or cement in a wellbore. In at least one embodiment, a method for evaluating a gravel pack, frac-pack or cement in a wellbore, includes pumping a first material into the wellbore, wherein the first material comprises a first tracer that is not radioactive. The method includes pumping a second material into the wellbore, wherein the second material comprises a second tracer that is not radioactive. The method includes obtaining a set of data using the downhole tool in the wellbore after the first and second materials are pumped into the wellbore. The method includes obtaining a baseline using the downhole tool in the wellbore in a depth interval without the first or second material. The method includes comparing the set of data with the baseline.
