Abstract: A method and system for cement evaluation. The method may include disposing an acoustic logging tool into a pipe string that is disposed in a first casing of a wellbore, transmitting an acoustic wave at a first location within the wellbore from an acoustic source disposed on the acoustic logging tool, and recording one or more acoustic signals with one or more receivers on the acoustic logging tool at the first location. The method may further include performing a multichannel multimode dispersion analysis of the one or more acoustic signals, extracting one or more fluid modes propagating in the first casing from the dispersion analysis, extracting one or more pseudo-lamb waves propagating in the first casing from the dispersion analysis, extracting one or more pseudo-SH-plate waves propagating in the first casing from the dispersion analysis, and identifying a bonding condition between the first casing and a cement.

Abstract: An inspection system for inspecting a composite material member formed of a composite material has a main body part; an ultrasonic probe connected with the main body part and configured to contact the main surface; an optical sensor part connected to the main body part to be movable in a first direction; and a processor. The ultrasonic probe is configured to input ultrasonic wave to the main surface of the composite material member and to receive reflection wave generated from the ultrasonic wave reflected by the composite material member. The optical sensor part is configured to emit sensor light in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and to receive reflection light generated from the sensor light reflected on the intersection surface. The processor is configured to output a measurement result based on the reflection wave and the reflection light.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for extending the detection range of a structural health monitoring (SHM) system. A structure being monitored is scanned multiple times. A scan with no collection delay covers an original detection area of the SHM system. Scans with collection delays cover extended detection areas. The SHM system's detection range is extended when results of multiple scans with different collection delays are combined.

Abstract: A method and system for assessing the condition of a pipeline in a pipeline system is disclosed. The method includes generating a pressure wave in the fluid being carried along the pipeline system at a generation location along the pipeline system, detecting a first pressure wave interaction signal at a first measurement location along the pipeline system resulting from an interaction of the pressure wave with localised variations in the pipeline and then detecting synchronously a second pressure wave interaction signal at a second measurement location along the pipeline system resulting from the interaction of the pressure wave with localised variations in the pipeline. The method then involves comparing the first and second pressure wave interaction signals to determine a location of individual features in the first and second pressure wave interaction signals with respect to the generation location, the individual features corresponding to pressure wave reflections from localised variations in the pipeline and characterising the individual features to assess the condition of the pipeline.

Abstract: A system includes one or more tools, sensors, or both configured to obtain data related to the one or more pipelines, wherein the data is ultrasonic data, electromagnetic data, or both, and a cloud-based computing system including at least one processor that receives the data from the one or more tools, sensors, or both, performs analysis to generate a virtual structural model of the one or more pipelines based on the data, determines one or more states of the one or more pipelines using the virtual structural model and determines whether to take one or more actions when the one or more states indicate that the one or more pipelines violate a threshold operation boundary.

Abstract: A method, system, and associated apparatus are described for installing, inventorying, actuating, and/or accessing down-hole equipment in a wellbore. This comprises tagging a casing by inserting permanent components of material compositions within sections along the length of a casing. Inserted components and/or portions of an original section function as unique readable active and/or passive markers. The piping system is at least one pipe having a plurality of markers placed in radial sections strategically arranged with independently identical or different material compositions or embedded in a length of the wellbore casing. The sections function as markers forming a readable pattern readable by the reader(s). The reader is one of or a combination of any of the group consisting of a plug, a probe, a sensor, and/or a computer for reading markers. The reader travels in either a forward or backward direction.

Abstract: A system for the optical detection of objects includes a first source for generating light, microwaves, or ultrasound of a first wavelength. An object is illuminated by the light, the microwaves, or the ultrasound, wherein the illumination is distorted by the object. The system further includes at least one color light source for the generation of color light of a second wavelength, wherein the same object is illuminated by the color light of the color light source. The first wavelength is different from the second wavelength. Further, a sensor is provided for the detection of the object illuminated by the first source, and a second sensor is provided for the detection of the color light generated by the color light source, which is reflected by the object.
