Systems and Methods for Wellbore Logging to Adjust for Downhole Clock Drift

A method for logging a wellbore includes positioning a downhole tool having a downhole clock in the wellbore, logging the wellbore with the downhole tool, transmitting a surface signal from a wellbore surface to the downhole tool, and receiving the surface signal at the downhole tool. The method also includes transmitting a downhole signal from the downhole tool to the surface, receiving the downhole signal at the wellbore surface, and determining clock drift based on an arrival time of the surface signal at the downhole tool and an arrival time of the downhole signal at the wellbore surface.

Instrumented bridge plugs for downhole measurements

A system includes a first instrumented bridge plug positionable in a downhole wellbore environment. The first instrumented bridge plug includes an acoustic source for transmitting an acoustic signal. The system also includes a second instrumented bridge plug positionable in the downhole wellbore environment. The second instrumented bridge plug includes an acoustic sensor for receiving a reflected acoustic signal originating from the acoustic signal. The reflected acoustic signal being usable to interpret wellbore formation characteristics of the downhole wellbore environment.

ONLINE, REALTIME SCALING TENDENCY MONITOR WITH ADVANCE WARNING AND DATA OUTPUT FOR PROCESS/ANTISCALANT ADJUSTMENTS
20230228896 · 2023-07-20 ·

The disclosure addresses overdosing of antiscalants by providing monitoring of scaling tendency to provide advance warning in real time for adjusting antiscalant amounts and other related processes. A method, system, and a scaling tendency monitor are disclosed that provide online monitoring at a well for reducing scaling in production piping, such as production tubing and production lines, while reducing overfeed of antiscalants. The disclosed scaling tendency monitoring gives a real-time warning of increases in scaling tendency, before the scaling actually happens in the production piping. In one example, the scaling tendency monitor includes: (1) conduit, (2) a stresser configured to apply at least one type of scaling stress to tapped produced water flowing through the conduit, and (3) an analyzer configured to determine a change in scaling tendency of the tapped produced water after application of the one or more scaling stress.
