Abstract
Description
- Boreholes drilled into subterranean formations may enable recovery of desirable fluids (e.g., hydrocarbons) using a number of different techniques. Currently after the conclusion of drilling operations, production operations may begin. Generally, production operations may include fracturing the subterranean formation. When fracturing the subterranean formation, it may be beneficial to measure the characteristics, properties, and/or movement of fracturing fluid between production tubing and the subterranean formation. Currently, to measure downhole data may take a wireline operation that includes the use of personnel and semi-permanent structures and support that may need to be setup for obtaining measurements for downhole operations. This may increase cost, slow production operations, and increase the number of personnel at a well site.
- These drawings illustrate certain aspects of some examples of the present disclosure and should not be used to limit or define the disclosure.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a remote wireline system disposed on a wellhead; -
FIG. 2 illustrates an example of the remote wireline system; -
FIG. 3 illustrates an example of an acoustic receiver node communicating with one or more nodes in a production tubing; and -
FIG. 4 illustrates another example of the acoustic receiver node connected to the production tubing. - Provided are systems and methods for taking downhole measurement during production operations. Specifically, communicating measurements uphole to a permanent or temporary remote wireline system that may transmit the measurements to an offsite location. For example, during production operations for fracturing a subterranean formation, measurements of fracturing fluids may be taken to determine fracture efficiency. Wireless nodes in production tubing may measure the data at each fracture cluster, store the data on the node and relay the data from node to node to an acoustic receiver node at the heel of a wellbore. The acoustic receiver node may pick up the data and relays from the other nodes and transmit the information to the surface for analysis.
- Additionally, the remote wireline system may be a modular automated wireline unit that is adapted to the wellhead, so the acoustic receiver node is deployed automatically on a predetermined schedule or it is anchored in place to retrieve data from the nodes. The acoustic receiver node may be retracted and out of flow while not in use and be isolated above a barrier, temporarily suspended in the well, or anchored near the top node to talk to downhole tools in the horizontal section.

Non-transitory computer-readable media may include, for example, storage media such as a direct access storage device (e.g., a hard disk drive or floppy disk drive), a sequential access storage device (e.g., a tape disk drive), compact disk, CD-ROM, DVD, RAM, ROM, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and/or flash memory; as well as communications media such wires, optical fibers, microwaves, radio waves, and other electromagnetic and/or optical carriers; and/or any combination of the foregoing.
- During operations,
remote wireline system 112 may be controlled byinformation handling system 124. For example, personnel may activateremote wireline system 112 from an offsite location byinformation handling system 124.Remote wireline system 112 may function to transmit measurements fromwellbore 102 toinformation handling system 124. As illustrated inFIG. 1 , measurements may be taken by production operation by measuring the flow of desirable fluids fromperforations 134 throughcasing 136 toproduction tubing 116. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a cutaway ofexample production tubing 116 to shownodes 300 which may be utilized to take different measurement for operations withinwellbore 102. In examples,nodes 300 may operate by any number of communication modes to move data, which may also be referred to as data packets, fromwellbore 102 tosurface 104. In examples, eachnode 300 may be disposed at and/or nearperforation 134. This may allow eachnode 300 to measure fluid flow intoproduction tubing 116. Measurements taken by eachnode 300 may be simultaneously conveyed uphole as uplink data toacoustic receiver node 302. As discussed above,acoustic receiver node 302 may be lowered intoproduction tubing 116 using remote wireline system 112 (e.g., referring toFIG. 1 ). Additionally,acoustic receiver node 302 may transmit downlink data tonodes 300 to request measurement data and/or change modes onnodes 300. Without limitation,nodes 300 may include transducers, receivers, transmitters and/or the like to communication betweennodes 300 andacoustic receiver node 302. Without limitation, transducers, receivers, transmitters and/or the like may be embedded intonode 300 at various location withinnode 300. Additionally,nodes 300 may be tubular in nature and/or a ring as illustrated inFIG. 3 . In other examples, as illustrated inFIG. 4 ,nodes 300 may be an elongated device attached to the exterior surface ofcasing 136 using one ormore attachment devices 400, such as bands and/or clamps. This may allow eachnode 300 to connect to the outside ofcasing 136. - Referring again to
FIG. 3 ,nodes 300 may be attached to casing 136 in close proximity to perforations 134. One ormore packers 140 may block an internal diameter ofcasing 136, which may force fluids to flow up an internal diameter ofproduction tubing 116 within the end oftubing 138 placed above the uppermost perforation 142.Nodes 300 may operate by sending uplink data and receiving downlink data on any carrier frequency. In examples,individual nodes 300 may be operating simultaneously on different carrier frequencies to reduce interference and/or receiver saturation. Additionally, acoustic channel(s) may support unidirectional transmission paths to reduce interference and/or receiver saturation. Further, the position of transducers (transmitters/receivers) may be selected to reduce interference and/or receiver saturation. For example, a receiver and a transmitter may be on opposite sides of node 300 (e.g., a 180° offset). In examples, transducers may be positioned on different sides of node 300 (e.g., a 90° offset or some other offset), but not on opposite sides. Furthermore,nodes 300 may provide different types of acoustic waves, namely shear waves and compressional waves in a different communication mode. - In examples,
nodes 300 may include controllers, not illustrated, which may provide power, data storage/buffering, and mode control for therespective node 300. During operations,nodes 300 may operate, for example, for six months to one year with supplied power from the controllers or a separate power source. During this time,nodes 300 may actively take measurements and send them uphole using remote wireline system 112 (e.g., referring toFIG. 1 ). For example,nodes 300 may collect point data regarding the movement of the fracturing fluid intoformation 304 throughperforations 134. Data may also include where production is originating. For example, production data which may be found in the first week and up to nine months of production operations. Data collected bynodes 300 may be transmitted to surface fromheel 306 ofwellbore 102. Heel 306 may be defined as the area at which wellbore 102 transfers from vertical to horizontal. As illustrated inFIG. 3 ,conveyance 114 may be lowered intowellbore 102 toheel 306, withinproduction tubing 116, byremote wireline system 112. In examples,conveyance 114 may be a digital acoustic sensing fiber optic cable. WhileFIGS. 1 and 2 illustratesremote wireline system 112 that may be semi-permanent and operating to moveconveyance 114 up and downproduction tubing 116,conveyance 114 may be removable, semi-permanent, or permanently installed. - As discussed above,
remote wireline system 112 may be a temporary installation onwellhead 106. In examples,remote wireline system 112 may be powered by local power source atwellhead 106. However,remote wireline system 112 may not have a power source but may be powered by personnel during measurement operations. For example,remote wireline system 112 may have quick disconnects,e.g. connection ports 208, for power, hydraulic fluid, and/or the like that may be necessary to operateremote wireline system 112. During an operation, a vehicle or skid (not illustrated) may attached toremote wireline system 112 through one or more quick connects to power, operate, or send and receive data fromnodes 300. Without limitation, aninformation handling system 124 may be disposed within the vehicle or skid and connected toacoustic receiver node 302 through the quick connects andconveyance 114. This may allow for the operator to collect data from the one ormore nodes 300. Without limitation, information handling system may connect toremote wireline system 112 wirelessly throughcommunication device 122 and not through a quick connect. - In examples,
remote wireline system 112 may be connected to on site power source atwellhead 106. This may allowremote wireline system 112 to be operated remotely. For example,remote wireline system 112 may communicate with an offsiteinformation handling system 124 that may be at an offsite facility, a vehicle, or a skid. Additionally, in a producing oil field, there may be any number ofremote wireline systems 112 that may be controlled remotely with an offsiteinformation handling system 124. - Accordingly, the systems and methods disclosed herein may be directed to a method for receiving measurement data from a remote wireline system.
