Method for obtaining gravity coefficients for orthogonally oriented accelerometer devices during measurement-while-drilling operations

A method for obtaining accuracy gravity coefficients out of three orthogonally oriented accelerometer devices and a thermometer by computing, using a pre-programmed micro-control unit processor, temperature errors, bias error coefficients, sensitivity error coefficients, and orthogonality error coefficients during measurement while drilling operations. Particularly, the method uses voltage data values of the three orthogonally oriented accelerometers to compute said error coefficients which provides for zero-error positioning of the MWD tool during long-term downhole surveying as well as while facing high-shock, vibrations, and high temperatures.

EVENT DETECTION USING DTS FEATURES

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.

Stimulation using fiber-derived information and fracturing modeling

A method for performing a fracturing operation in a subterranean formation of a field. The method includes obtaining, during the fracturing operation, distributed optical fiber data from a downhole sensor of a treatment well in the subterranean formation, and determining, based on the distributed optical fiber data, an active perforation location from a number of pre-determined perforation locations of the treatment well. The active perforation location is a location of fluid flow into the subterranean formation during the fracturing operation. The method further includes generating, based at least on the active perforation location, a fracturing model for the subterranean formation, and performing, based on the fracturing model, modeling of the fracturing operation to generate a modeling result.

Fiber optic sensing of wellbore leaks during cement curing using a cement plug deployment system

A method includes attaching a fiber optic cable to a cementing tool configured to attach to a cementing plug displace cement in a hydrocarbon well. The method can also include deploying the cementing tool in the hydrocarbon well to cause the cementing plug to begin releasing cement to form to displace cement to form a cement sheath in the hydrocarbon well. Additionally, the method can also include receiving, by a sensor receiver at a wellhead of the hydrocarbon well, a signal with cementing data as the cement sheath cures. Furthermore, the method can also include determining whether the cement sheath is curing properly. A system and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also provided.

Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing of annular cement curing using a cement plug deployment system

Systems and methods consistent with the present disclosure may position a cementing tool within a casing string of a wellbore. Such a system may include a fiber optic cable coupled to the cementing tool and may include a distributed temperature sensing (DTS) system interrogator positionable at a surface of the wellbore for transmitting an optical signal through the fiber optic cable such that a plurality of temperatures along the fiber optic cable may be identified. A reel may be used when dispensing the fiber optic cable from a first end of the fiber optic cable in response to a tension in the fiber optic cable as the cementing tool travels down the casing string behind a cement composition. A processor in communication with the DTS system may be configured to monitor the plurality of temperatures along the fiber optic cable while the cement composition cures.
