  • There are many benefits to the example embodiments of the disclosure that are described herein. One of the many benefits of example embodiments provided in this disclosure is that the system prevents death of operators on a drilling rig by reducing the amount of time needed to travel in and out of a well while collecting data. Another benefit is that the described example embodiments helps to prevent fires on a well location by diverting proppants, such as drilling mud, without clogging or ripping at extreme depths of up to 25,000 feet. Various example embodiments of the present disclosure also prevent explosions on a well site by reducing the amount of pressure needed down hole to collect well bore profile data, thus providing an additional measure of safety for field or platform workers.
  • Another benefit is that the example embodiments or aspects of the present disclosure reduce the chance of disastrous environmental spills by significantly reducing, by at least 25%, for example, the amount of fluid needed, such as salt water, to collect data from the wellbore so that if an unwanted fluid spill or leak occurs, the lower or lesser amount or volume of fluid used can be more easily contained as a result of the reduced amount or volume of fluid needed as compared to similar conventional devices or systems.
  • Various aspects of the disclosure are further beneficial to wildlife living near the wellbore because they have a better chance of not having their habitat contaminated due to wellbore fluid excursions that are reduced by the secondary sealing of the wellbore with the flexible sheet of various aspects of the present disclosure. Yet another benefit of various aspects of the present disclosure is that prior to using the tool, fluid pumped before the tool is about 21,000 gallons per run and after the system is installed, fluid pumped is only about 10,000 gallons per run. Therefore, aspects of the present disclosure are capable of reducing fluid usage by more than 50%. In desert climates, cutting water use by more than about 50% is a significant benefit to the environment, local population, and the general consumption of valuable resources. Similarly, prior to using the tool, the rate for pumping fluid per minute is about 16-18 barrels per minute and after the system was installed, the line speed before was about 100-120 feet per minute and after the system was installed was about 300-360 feet per minute. Prior to using the system, the average time per trip was about 54 minutes, and after the system was installed, the average time per trip was reduced to about 17 minutes.
  • As such, it is apparent that various aspects of the present disclosure provide numerous advantages over prior art methods and systems, through, for example, reduction of resource consumption, reduced risk of environmental contamination at the wellsite, and reduced risk of injury to personnel at the wellsite.
