==REMOTE FIELD EDDY CURRENT TOOLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18531503 titled 'REMOTE FIELD EDDY CURRENT TOOLS

==Simplified Explanation==

The method described in the patent application involves estimating the thickness of a first pipe within multiple nested conductive pipes using electromagnetic pulsed tools and remote-field eddy current (RFEC) look-up curves.

* Using an electromagnetic pulsed tool to gather log measurements at different depths within multiple nested conductive pipes in a wellbore.
* Generating RFEC look-up curves based on normalized signal level responses for the multiple nested conductive pipes.
* Selecting an RFEC look-up curve that indicates the thickness of the first pipe based on the time decay response.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in the oil and gas industry for wellbore integrity assessment and monitoring of pipe thickness in complex well structures.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of accurately estimating the thickness of a specific pipe within multiple nested conductive pipes, which can be challenging using traditional methods.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in pipe thickness estimation, which can lead to better decision-making in wellbore maintenance and integrity management.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in providing wellbore inspection services to oil and gas companies, offering a more advanced and reliable method for assessing pipe thickness.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art in this field could be the use of electromagnetic tools for wellbore inspection and monitoring, but the specific method of using RFEC look-up curves for estimating pipe thickness within nested conductive pipes may be a novel innovation.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology compare to traditional methods of pipe thickness estimation in terms of accuracy and efficiency? ===
This article does not provide a direct comparison between this technology and traditional methods, so it is unclear how they stack up against each other in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

=== What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology in real-world wellbore environments? ===
The article does not address any potential limitations or challenges that may arise when implementing this technology in actual wellbore environments, leaving room for further exploration of practical considerations.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Some implementations include a method for estimating a first pipe thickness of a first pipe within multiple nested conductive pipes, the method comprising: forming a measured log including a set of log measurements at different depths using an electromagnetic pulsed tool disposed in multiple nested conductive pipes in a wellbore; generating a plurality of remote-field eddy current (RFEC) look-up curves based on measurements of normalized signal level responses for the multiple nested conductive pipes at one or more points in a time decay response; and selecting an RFEC look-up curve from the plurality of RFEC look-up curves at a point in the time decay response that indicates the first pipe thickness of the first pipe.
