==GENERATING PRESSURE WAVES IN A FLOWLINE OR A WELLBORE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240052714 titled 'GENERATING PRESSURE WAVES IN A FLOWLINE OR A WELLBORE

==Simplified Explanation==

The system described in the patent application is used for generating a pressure signal in a flow path defined by a tubular. The system includes a pressure source, a valve, and a controller. The controller outputs a command to control the pressure source to output a fluid hammer through the valve and into a flow path defined by a wellbore tubular. The system can be positioned external to the flow path and can determine the presence of a deposition, blockage, or leak within the flowline while it is in operation based on the reflection signal.

* Pressure source, valve, and controller are used to generate a pressure signal in a flow path.
* Controller outputs a command to control the pressure source for fluid hammer generation.
* System can detect deposition, blockage, or leak within the flowline while in operation.
* System is positioned external to the flow path.

### Potential Applications
- Oil and gas industry for monitoring flowline integrity.
- Industrial processes for detecting blockages in pipelines.

### Problems Solved
- Detection of blockages or leaks in flowlines.
- Monitoring flowline integrity during operation.

### Benefits
- Early detection of issues in flowlines can prevent costly downtime.
- Remote monitoring capability improves operational efficiency.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a system can be used for generating a pressure signal in a flow path defined by a tubular. the system can include a pressure source, a valve, and a controller. the controller can output a command to control the pressure source for outputting a fluid hammer, according to the command, through the valve and into a flow path defined by a wellbore tubular. the system can be positioned external to the flow path. the system can determine, based on the reflection signal, a presence of a deposition, a blockage, or a leak within the flowline while the flowline is in operation.
