Definitions
- a known device for determining the position of a tool downhole is called a "Casing collar locator".
- a locator comprises one or more magnets and one or more coils for measuring changes in the magnetic and electrical flux when passing a collar or casing features significant enough to cause a measurable change.
- the device is thus only able to determine the position of the tool collar by collar and not between two collars, and in order to measure differences in the flux, the device must be moved with considerable speed in the casing .
- the sensors detect changes in the magnitude and/or direction of the magnetic field, the magnet having a magnetic field source axis substantially transverse to the longitudinal tool axis.
- the sensors may be positioned at the same distance from the magnet.
- the invention relates to a positioning system comprising the positioning tool and a calculation unit for processing magnetic field data measured by the sensors.
- the positioning tool 1 can be used in connection with an inspection tool or another logging tool . If the feature to be located does result in a significant change, the positioning tool 1 can also be used in connection with a drilling tool, a setting tool for setting a plug, a tool for inserting a liner or a patch, or a similar type of downhole tool.
- the downhole tools may also be connected with the positioning tool 1 if these tools need a position downhole to perform the specific operation in the well, such as drilling of a sidetrack.
- the estimate of the velocity is based on a number of measurements, and by continuously calculating the velocity of the tool 1, it is possible to calculate the distance ⁇ travelled since the previous calculation by means of the following equation :
- the sensors 5, 6 may be arranged in different positions relative to the magnetic sources, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. However, as mentioned above, the signals ob- tained from this setup are less useful for the described method as they will be less similar. This will either cause errors in the results or require complex compensation of the signals prior to their processing.
- the sensors 5, 6 detect the direction and/or the magnitude of the magnetic field, and the magnet 4 has a magnetic field source axis substantially transverse to the longitudinal tool axis, as shown in Fig . 4B.
- FIG. 6 A partly cross-sectional view of the positioning tool 1 is shown in Fig . 6.
- the detect- ing unit 2 is arranged at a distance from the tip 7, which is approximately half the length L of the positioning tool.
- There is a space 17 in front of the detecting unit for mounting any other logging or measuring device which can make observations downhole.
- the detecting unit 2 provides the measurements for determining the position of each of the observations made by the logging or measuring device.
