TUBING-CASING ANNULUS SCANNER TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011364 titled 'TUBING-CASING ANNULUS SCANNER TOOL

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a first tubular body deployed within a second tubular body, a scanner tool, and an electronically conductive cable. The scanner tool is movably disposed around the outer circumferential surface of the first tubular body and located within an annulus. The scanner tool includes a tool housing, a conduit, and calipers. The tool housing has a housing outer surface and a housing inner surface. The conduit is defined by the housing inner surface, and the first tubular body extends therein. The calipers are distributed around the housing outer surface and are configured to measure well data. The electronically conductive cable is connected to the tool housing and is configured to transmit the well data between the scanner tool and a computer located at a surface location. The electronically conductive cable is further configured to move the scanner tool up hole and downhole along the first tubular body.

  • The system includes a scanner tool that can be moved along the outer surface of a tubular body within another tubular body.
  • The scanner tool has a housing with a conduit and calipers for measuring well data.
  • An electronically conductive cable is connected to the scanner tool to transmit the well data to a computer at the surface.
  • The cable also allows for the movement of the scanner tool up and down the tubular body.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Oil and gas industry: The system can be used for well logging and data collection in oil and gas wells.
  • Geothermal energy: The system can be used for monitoring and data collection in geothermal wells.
  • Mining industry: The system can be used for surveying and data collection in mining boreholes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited access: The system allows for data collection and measurement in areas that are difficult to reach using traditional methods.
  • Real-time data transmission: The electronically conductive cable enables the transmission of well data to a computer at the surface in real-time, allowing for immediate analysis and decision-making.
  • Efficient data collection: The scanner tool with calipers provides accurate and efficient measurement of well data.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency: The system allows for faster and more accurate data collection, reducing the time and resources required for well monitoring and analysis.
  • Enhanced safety: The remotely operated scanner tool reduces the need for human intervention in potentially hazardous environments.
  • Cost-effective: The system eliminates the need for additional equipment or personnel for data collection, resulting in cost savings.
