    摘要: Fluid characteristics of a well fluid can be monitored. For example, a computing device can receive sensor signals from an acoustic sensor positioned on a well tool. The sensor signals can indicate characteristics of acoustic emissions generated by a well fluid impacting the well tool. The computing device can determine an acoustic signature for the well fluid using the characteristics of the acoustic emissions. The computing device can determine a difference between the acoustic signature a baseline acoustic-signature for the well fluid. The computing device can determine one or more fluid characteristics of the well fluid using the difference between the acoustic signature and the baseline acoustic-signature. The computing device can transmit a notification indicating the one or more fluid characteristics.

    摘要: A method and system for determining a deployment profile of a fiber optic cable. The method may comprise disposing a fiber optic cable into a tubular structure, opening and closing a valve to form a pressure pulse, wherein the pressure pulse travels within the tubular structure, sensing the pressure pulse within the tubular structure with the fiber optic cable and at least one pressure transducer, recording data from the pressure pulse with the fiber optic cable and the at least one pressure transducer, and sending the data to an information handling system from the fiber optic cable. A well measurement system may comprise a tubular structure, a fiber optic cable, a valve, and an information handling system, wherein the information handling system is configured to open and close the valve to form a pressure pulse and record data from the pressure pulse.

    摘要: Techniques for estimating and visually presenting formation slowness are disclosed herein. The techniques include receiving acoustic signal responses from adjacent formations at a plurality of depths in a borehole environment, mapping a distribution of the acoustic signal responses at each depth according to slowness and a frequency values, determining at least one confidence interval to define a coherence threshold for the distribution of the acoustic signal responses at each depth, generating a variable density log for each depth based on the distribution of acoustic signals responses that satisfy the confidence interval for one or more frequency ranges, determining a formation slowness value for each depth based on the variable density log for the each depth, and presenting a semblance map that includes a slowness axis, a depth axis, the formation slowness value for each depth, and at least a portion of the distribution of acoustic signal responses at each depth.
