A method may include obtaining first pressure data regarding a first pressure sensor upstream from a restricted orifice and second pressure data regarding a second pressure sensor downstream from the restricted orifice. The method may further include obtaining temperature data regarding a temperature sensor coupled to the restricted orifice. The method may further include obtaining various gas parameters regarding a predetermined gas flowing through the restricted orifice and various orifice parameters regarding the restricted orifice. The method may further include determining a first gas flow rate of the predetermined gas based on a gas flow model, the first pressure data, the second pressure data, the temperature data, the gas parameters, and the orifice parameters.

A method may include drilling a wellbore, the wellbore intersecting a shale formation at an interval of the shale formation and casing at least a portion of the wellbore. The method may also include perforating the casing at the interval to fluidly couple the interval and the wellbore, and liberating free and absorbed gas entrapped within the interval. In addition, the method may include solubilizing in the wellbore fluid the free and absorbed gas, forming a plume comprising solubilized gas, and determining an identity and amount of solubilized gas in the plume.

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.

A sensor element for a cutting tool (100) has a hard portion (110) having a sensing surface (112), first and second electrodes (120, 130), first and second sets of thermocouple wires (122, 132) and an electrically insulating portion. The first and second electrodes (120, 130) are arranged to allow electric current to flow when the sensing surface (112) contacts external material in response to the cutting tool engaging the external material. A first thermocouple junction (124) is operable to indicate a temperature of the first electrode and a second thermocouple junction (134) is operable to measure temperature of the second electrode.
