摘要: The invention relates to measuring and generating electrical fields downhole. In one embodiment a system is provided that includes an amplifier connected to a first electrode in electrical contact with the Earth via an operative capacitive coupling. An additional electrode and amplifier are disposed in the borehole opposite the first electrode and constitute a first pair of electrodes spaced in a direction orthogonal to the axis. A second electrode is part of a group of counter electrodes spaced from each other and disposed outside the borehole. The first pair of electrodes and the amplifiers are configured to be one of a source that generates an electrical field in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of the borehole and a sensor that measures an electric field substantially orthogonal to the axis of the borehole.

摘要: 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.

摘要: A drilling system includes a string of drill pipe extending into a wellbore from a drilling platform. A Y-block junction is coupled to the string of drill pipe at the drilling platform and provides a pressure housing that defines a first conduit and a second conduit that converges with the first conduit. The pressure housing further defines an outlet configured to be coupled to the string of drill pipe extending into the wellbore. A lubricator is operatively coupled to the Y-block junction at the second conduit, and a cable having one or more optical fibers embedded therein is conveyed into the wellbore within the string of drill pipe via the lubricator and the Y-block junction.

摘要: A method for use with a subterranean well can include modeling multiple fluid types in an annulus formed between casing and an earth formation penetrated by a wellbore, inverting electromagnetic data acquired by sensors in the well, and selecting at least one of the fluid types based on the inverting. A system for use with a subterranean well can include multiple sensors longitudinally spaced apart along a casing in a wellbore, each of the sensors imparting electromagnetic impulses to a fluid present in an annulus formed between the casing and the wellbore, and each of the sensors providing observed data indicative of at least one physical property associated with the fluid.

摘要: An optical computing device uses a moveable assembly to simultaneously analytic and compensation signals to determine sample characteristics in real-time. In one embodiment, the moveable assembly is a rotating carousel including at least one optical element pair positioned thereon, where one of the optical elements forms an analytic channel, and the other forms the compensation channel. Alternatively, two carousels may be utilized, where one includes the analytic channel and the other includes the compensation channel. In another embodiment, a linear array having compensation and analytic channels may be utilized. During operation, electromagnetic radiation optically interacts with the sample to form sample-interacted light, which is directed toward the optical elements on the moveable assembly. The optical elements are positioned on the moveable assemblies such that the sample-interacted light optically interacts with both simultaneously, thereby providing compensation in parallel with the sample characteristic measurement.

摘要: A method for transmitting data from a downhole tool is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes acquiring data for a formation fluid through downhole fluid analysis with a downhole tool in a well. The acquired data can include optical spectrum data measured with a spectrometer and other data. The method also includes generating time blocks of the acquired data and transmitting the time blocks from the downhole tool. More particularly, generating the time blocks may include compressing at least some of the optical spectrum data according to a first compression technique and compressing at least some of the other data according to one or more additional compression techniques. The compressed data can be packaged into the time blocks such that at least some of the time blocks include both compressed optical spectrum data and compressed other data for the formation fluid. Additional methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

摘要: A logging tool for use downhole includes sensor modules that monitor fluid flow in a wellbore. The sensor modules are disposed on flexible arms that project radially outward from the logging tool, so that the modules are located at discrete radial positions in the wellbore. The sensor modules include a flow sensor, an optical sensor, and a fluid conductivity sensor. The rate and type of fluid flowing in the wellbore can be estimated due to employing the different sensor types. A location sensor estimates the radial location of the modules so that a flow profile of the flowing fluid can be obtained.
