Abstract

A method and apparatus for placing acoustic devices in wellbores is provided. The method comprises: providing a tubing with at least one anchoring device in the wellbore, where the anchoring device is extendable to the wellbore to exert a force on the wellbore; attaching at least one acoustic device to at least one anchoring device; placing the tubing in the at least one acoustic device attached to the at least one anchoring device in the wellbore;
and setting the anchoring device to extend to the wellbore to exert a force on the wellbore, thereby coupling the acoustic device to the wellbore. The wellbore system comprises a tubing that has an annular space between the tubing and the wellbore. At least one anchoring device is disposed on an outer surface of the tubing and extends to and exerts a force on the wellbore.
An acoustic device is attached to the at least one anchoring device.
