    Abstract: A method for retrofitting a deployable component which includes a tracer constituent within a wellbore comprises deploying the deployable component into the wellbore, and securing the deployable component at a location within the wellbore. In one example the tracer constituent is releasable from the deployable component when exposed to a trigger condition and detectable at a remote location to permit one or more parameters associated with the wellbore to be derived.

    Abstract: An electrical impedance tomography based flow monitoring system includes a flow accepting pipe having a cylindrical grid of m x n electrodes, wherein m is an integer greater than 3 representing a number of circumferential grid positions and n is an integer greater than 2 representing a number of axial grid positions. Each combination of adjacent circumferential grid positions and adjacent axial grid positions defines a cell having four electrodes electrically connectable in various combinations by a switch, and the switches are set to connect the electrodes into multiple axially-extending arrays. The system further comprises a controller coupled to the multiple axially-extending arrays to acquire multi-point electrical tomography measurements, wherein the controller processes the measurements to derive a monitored quantity.

    Abstract: Gravity surveys of subterranean formations may be based on the simultaneous measurement of gravity and its derivatives to produce a higher resolution formation map or wellbore log. For example, a method of performing a gravity survey may include positioning a matter wave interferometer relative to a subterranean formation; producing at least one cloud of atoms in the matter wave interferometer; producing a superposition of atoms in two different, spatially separated superimposed clouds from each of the at least one cloud of atoms; propagating the two different, spatially separated superimposed clouds along the matter wave interferometer as they with a gravitational field of the subterranean formation; combining the two different, spatially separated superimposed clouds with a Raman laser beam; measuring an interference produced by producing and combining the two different, spatially separated superimposed clouds; and calculating gravity for the gravitational field of the subterranean formation based on the interference.

    Abstract: Optical sensors having one or more soluble coatings thereon are used to detect the presence of a degrading fluid. In a generalized embodiment, the fiber optic sensor includes a fiber optic cable having two strain sensor positioned therein. A soluble layer is positioned over one of the strain sensor. Due to the presence of the soluble layer, the covered strain sensor optically responds differently than the other strain sensor to changes in pressure, strain and temperature. In the presence of a degrading fluid, the soluble layer degrades and ultimately dissolves, thereby changing the optical response of the previously covered strain sensor. When the soluble layer is dissolved, the strain induced by the soluble layer relaxes, thus causing a wavelength shift in the signal of the grating. By monitoring the wavelength shifts of both strain sensors, the fiber optic sensor acts as a detector for the presence of the degrading fluid.
