WELLBORE EXCLUSION FLUID METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DOWNHOLE LOGGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957231 titled 'WELLBORE EXCLUSION FLUID METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DOWNHOLE LOGGING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a downhole logging tool that uses a magnet to activate ferromagnetic fluid to create a seal between the tool and the wellbore fluid for analysis purposes.

  • The downhole logging tool has a first magnet that activates ferromagnetic fluid.
  • The ferromagnetic fluid creates a seal between the tool and the wellbore fluid.
  • This seal is used to isolate a primary analysis region of the tool for accurate measurements.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in oil and gas exploration to improve the accuracy of downhole logging measurements.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of maintaining a seal between the downhole logging tool and the wellbore fluid for accurate analysis.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved data accuracy in downhole logging operations, leading to better decision-making in oil and gas exploration.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of advanced downhole logging tools for the oil and gas industry.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of seals or barriers in downhole logging tools to prevent contamination of wellbore fluids during analysis.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to traditional downhole logging tools in terms of cost and efficiency?

This article does not provide information on the cost implications or efficiency gains of using this technology compared to traditional methods.


Original Abstract Submitted

In some embodiments, a downhole logging tool configured for placement in a wellbore comprises a first magnet configured to activate a first volume of ferromagnetic fluid disposed between the downhole logging tool and the wellbore to achieve a first seal between a primary analysis region of the downhole logging tool and a wellbore fluid.
