SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NOTCHING A TARGET WELLBORE IN A SUBSURFACE FORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826393 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NOTCHING A TARGET WELLBORE IN A SUBSURFACE FORMATION
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a system for notching a wellbore in a subsurface formation. - The system includes a notching tool and a wellbore modelling system. - The wellbore modelling system has a simulated notch, a simulated wellbore, a computational mesh, and a data processor. - The simulated notch and simulated wellbore are digitally positioned in the computational mesh. - The data processor is responsible for executing an iterative process. - The wellbore modelling system can communicate the target notch shape, target cutting depth, or both, to the notching tool. - The notching tool then uses this information to notch the target wellbore accordingly.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for notching a target wellbore in a subsurface formation includes a notching tool and a wellbore modelling system in communication with the notching tool. The wellbore modelling system includes a simulated notch, a simulated wellbore, a computational mesh, and a data processor. The simulated notch and the simulated wellbore are digitally positioned in the computational mesh of the wellbore modelling system. The simulated notch extends from the simulated wellbore. The data processor is communicatively coupled to the simulated notch, the simulated wellbore, and the computational mesh, and is operable to execute an iterative process. The wellbore modelling system is configured to communicate the target notch shape, the target cutting depth, or both, to the notching tool for notching the target wellbore with the target notch shape, the target cutting depth, or both.
