A method is disclosed that includes measuring an inner diameter (ID) of a tubular at least at a plurality of points along an inner circumference of the tubular, at a predetermined axial distance from an end of the tubular, to yield a first set of measurements. A computer processor is used to: create a tubular profile from the first set of measurements, wherein the tubular profile represents a unique identification code of the tubular; save the profile; and thereafter identify the tubular. The tubular is identified via: receiving a second set of measurements of the ID of the tubular from at least at a plurality of points along an inner circumference of the tubular, at the predetermined axial distance from the end of the tubular; and comparing the second set of measurements with the saved tubular profile to identify the tubular.

A method may include obtaining caliper log data regarding a well. The method may further include determining, using a descaling model and the caliper log data, various predicted caliper log values for a descaled well. The descaled well may correspond to the well following a scale treatment. The method may further include determining whether the descaled well satisfies a predetermined criterion based on the predicted caliper log values. The method may further include determining, in response to determining that the descaled well fails to satisfy the predetermined criterion, a tubular replacement for the well. The method may further include transmitting, to a control system, a command that implements the tubular replacement.

A downhole drilling apparatus, passing through a subterranean borehole, may mark an inner wall of the borehole with a marking element. A sensor, spaced axially from the marking element on the drilling apparatus, may subsequently sense the marking as it passes. A rate of penetration of the drilling apparatus may be calculated by dividing an axial distance, between the marking element and the sensor, by a time interval, between when the marking element marks the inner wall and when the marking is sensed by the sensor. Alternately, a second sensor, spaced axially from the first, may also sense the marking. A rate of penetration may then be calculated by dividing an axial distance, between the two sensors, by a time interval, between when the two sensors sense the marking.

Logging while drilling (LWD) mechanical calipers are disclosed. An example apparatus to characterize a bore includes a drill collar, a sliding sleeve that moves longitudinally relative to the drill collar, and a sliding block operatively coupled to the sliding sleeve and movable relative to the drill collar. The example apparatus also includes a caliper arm operatively coupled to the sliding block, where the caliper arm is to displace radially outward towards an inner diameter of the bore based on movement of the sliding block, and a caliper sliding sensor to measure a movement of the sliding block.

A system is provided that includes a dart, a pressure sensor, and a controller communicatively coupled with the sensor. The dart is disposed in a fluidic channel. The dart has a main body and a flange extending from the main body and has a diameter greater than or equal to a diameter of the fluidic channel. When the dart translates within the fluidic channel and passes a location of a variation in the fluidic channel, the flange creates a pressure pulse. The pressure sensor measures the pressure pulse within the fluidic channel created by the dart. The controller determines the location of the variation based on the measured pressure pulse.

A method of detecting one or more events comprises determining a plurality of temperature features from a temperature sensing signal, using the plurality of temperature features in an event detection model, and determining the presence or absence of the one or more events at one or more locations based on an output from the event detection model.
