A wellbore servicing method comprising positioning a tool node within a wellbore, moving a transitory sensing node through the wellbore such that the transitory sensing node comes into communication with the tool node, wherein the transitory sensing node is configured to measure a wellbore parameter during movement through the wellbore, and wherein the transitory sensing node communicates with the tool node via a near field communication (NFC) signal.
Abstract:
A method for controlling pressure in a wellbore (120) during a perforating operation is disclosed. The method can include positioning a perforating tool (210) within the wellbore, where the perforating tool comprises a gun (220) and an energetic chamber (240). The method can also include igniting an energetic (250) within the energetic chamber to generate a propellant (350). The method can further include igniting at least one charge (222) within the gun, where the at least one charge is ignited toward a wall of the wellbore adjacent to the gun. The method can also include directing the propellant from the energetic chamber into the gun.
Abstract:
A perforating gun technique. The technique includes perforating with the gun in a manner that deforms internal support structure thereof. Thus, follow-on treatment with a break-up fluid tailored to the material of the support structure may be utilized to dissolve the structure. The carrier of the gun which houses the structure may then be utilized as a conduit for fluid flow.
Abstract:
A wellbore servicing system comprising a controller node disposed within a wellbore, and a tool node configured for movement through the wellbore, wherein the tool node communicates with the controller node via a near field communication (NFC) signal, wherein prior to communication with the controller node, the tool node will not perform at least one function and, after communication with the controller node, the tool node will selectively perform the at least one function.
Abstract:
A wellbore servicing system comprising a first node disposed within a wellbore, and a logging node configured for movement through the wellbore, wherein the logging node communicates with the first node via a near field communication (NFC) signal. A wellbore servicing method comprising positioning a first node within a wellbore, moving a logging node through the wellbore such that the logging node comes into communication with the first node, wherein the logging node communicates with the first node via a near field communication (NFC) signal, wherein data is transferred from the first node to the logging node via NFC.
Abstract:
A perforation tool assembly. The perforation tool assembly comprises a tool string connector, a perforation gun coupled to the tool string connector, and a structure configured to absorb mechanical energy released by firing one or more perforation guns. The coupling is configured to provide a limited range of motion of the tool string connector relative to the perforation gun. The tool string connector and the perforation gun retain the structure configured to absorb mechanical energy.
Abstract:
The present Invention relates to a device and a method for perforating downhole casings. The method comprises the steps of arranging a device (1) comprising a pipe section (3) on a drill string, running the device (1) into a bore hole to a desired location in the well, dropping a ball (7) down through the drill string down to the device (1), where the ball (7) rests in a ball seat (5), thus blocking fluid communication between the inside and the outside of the device (1), whereby the pressure on the Inside of the d rill string and the device (1) is pumped up to a first pressure level and a first sequence of pressure rises and pressure reliefs is carried through within a first pressure level Interval, whereby a firing system (4), arranged to react to said first sequence of pressure rises and pressure reliefs, triggers a charge or group of charges (2), whereby the charge or group of charges (2) punches one or more holes through a surrounding casing wall, driving the pressure on the inside of the drill string further up to a second level causing a rupture disc (8), arranged in an opening (10) in the pipe wall to the pipe section (3) somewhere above the ball seat (5), to burst and establishing a fluid communication between the inside and outside of the drill string through the opening in the pipe wall of the pipe section (3), and to start a circulation In the well by pumping a fluid down through the drill string and out through the opening which is created when the rupture disc (8) bursts.
Abstract:
A perforation gun string. The perforation gun string comprises a perforation gun that forms at least part of the perforation gun string; and a swellable material coupled to the perforation gun string. The swellable material is configured to be exposed to a downhole wellbore environment; the swellable material is configured to swell in response to exposure to the downhole wellbore environment; and the swellable material is configured to protrude beyond an outer surface of the perforation gun string when it swells.
