    Abstract: Apparatus and methods to investigate a multiple nested conductive pipe structure can be implemented in a variety of applications. An electromagnetic pulsed tool disposed in the multiple nested conductive pipe structure in a wellbore can make a set of log measurements and provide a measured log at different depths in the multiple nested conductive pipe structure. A test setup or library can provide a set of small defect log measurements. Processing circuitry can process the set of log measurements to generate thickness estimations of the multiple nested conductive pipes and processing circuitry can process the set of small defect log measurements to generate small defect thickness estimations. Processing circuitry can solve a system of equations involving the thickness estimations and the small defect thickness estimations to generate thickness variations for the multiple nested conducted pipes over the different depths. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Powering the downhole component may include inducing an electrical current to flow in the casing; permitting the electrical current to flow out of the casing to create a first potential difference between a first point and a second point spaced therefrom, the first and second points being located behind the casing; utilizing the first potential difference to store electrical power; and supplying the stored electrical power to the downhole component positioned behind the casing to thereby power the downhole component. The system may include a power source in electrical communication with the casing; a power harvester positioned behind the casing and in electrical communication with the downhole component; and a current return unit in electrical communication with the power source.

    Abstract: Metamaterials are used in well logging measurement tools to provide high directionality galvanic and induction tools having metamaterial focusing. Using metamaterial lenses, currents injected by galvanic tools can be focused in both axial and azimuthal directions. In addition, the focus plane can be shifted away from the tool body into a borehole formation, making measurements more sensitive to zones of interest and less sensitive to boreholes and invaded zones. Another metamaterial lens can bend injected currents toward the head of the tool, adding a look-ahead functionality.

Embodiments can include control of current in a set of three current electrodes to inject current into a formation around a pipe in a wellbore, where the three current electrodes include two of the electrodes to inject current and the third electrode to operatively provide a current return. Response of the formation to the current injections can be communicated by interrogating an optical fiber that extends along a longitudinal axis of the pipe. Determination of progression of the waterflood with respect to the wellbore can be provided from controlling the current and interrogating the optical fiber over time. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

    Abstract: Fiber optic sensors are described for detecting the operational position of a downhole moveable device. In one example, an electric or magnetic field is emitted into the wellbore and interacts with the moveable assembly, thereby producing a secondary electric or magnetic field. The secondary field is detected by a fiber optic sensor which produces a corresponding response signal. The response signal is then processed in a variety of ways to determine the operational position of the moveable device. In another example, the operational position is determined using fiber optic temperature or acoustic sensors. A temperature or acoustic vibration reading is acquired before and after actuation of the moveable device. The two readings are then compared to determine the operation position of the moveable device.
