Definitions
- An acoustic device deployment system including an acoustic device, a pad disposed upon the acoustic device, a device displacer operatively connected to the acoustic device that during use causes the device to move radially outwardly into contact with another structure.
- a method for acoustically communicating in a wellbore radially through a tubular member including radially displacing an acoustic device having a pad thereon, contacting a surface of the tubular member with the pad, and deforming the pad to displace incidental air gaps between the device and the tubular member.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a first embodiment of an acoustic device deployment system as disclosed herein in a run in position;
- Figure 1 A is an enlarged portion of Figure 1 showing one possible displacer configuration
- Figure 1B is an enlarged portion of Figure 1 showing one possible displacer configuration
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of the first embodiment of the acoustic device deployment system as disclosed herein in a deployed position
- Figure 3 is a schematic view of a second embodiment of an acoustic device deployment system as disclosed herein in a run in position;
- Figure 4 is a schematic view of the second embodiment of the acoustic device deployment system as disclosed herein in a deployed position
- Figure 5 illustrated an iteration similar to Figures 3 and 4 but including a pivot pin
- Figure 6 is a schematic view of a wellbore system having an acoustic deployment system as disclosed herein.
- an acoustic device deployment system 10 is illustrated schematically.
- the system 10 includes an acoustic device 12 configured to transmit and/or receive acoustic energy and a pad 14 disposed thereon.
- the system further includes a displacer 16 and a ramp 18 (annular or part annular).
- the system may also feature a locating profile 20. Generally these components will be disposed upon a mandrel 22 and collectively being a portion of a downhole string, the balance of which is not specifically shown.
- the displacer 16 is configured to move the device 12 toward and onto the ramp 18 thereby displacing the device 12 outwardly relative to the mandrel 22 of system 10.
- Displacer 16 may be a piston (See Fig. 1A) and may use as an impetus a hydraulic fluid source or an atmospheric chamber to drive the piston l7a or may be a mechanical shifting tool l7b (see Fig. 1B). In any event, the displacer 16 will be moved relative to the ramp 18 closing a gap between the displacer 16 and the ramp 18 and simultaneously pushing the device 12 up the ramp 18 and radially outwardly of the system 10.
- the pad may be constructed of a material that is conformable such that it will naturally displace incidental air gaps between the device 12 and the casing wall 24 with the material of the pad 14. Suitable materials include elastomers, soft metals (malleable metals having a low yield stress such as copper, aluminum, etc.) plastics, rubbers, etc.
- the displacement of air gaps between the device 12 and the casing wall 24 avoids the attenuation otherwise suffered buy the acoustic energy attempting to cross those air gaps and thereby improving the acoustic coupling and transfer through the casing.
- an acoustic device deployment system 110 referring to Figures 3 and 4, a similar acoustic device 112 is displaced radially outwardly due to an extension 116 acting as a displacer in concert with a mandrel 122.
- the mandrel 122 exhibits a recess 140 therein that extends radially inwardly from a radially outer surface 142 of the mandrel.
- the recess 140 is of a depth into the mandrel 122 that is related to the degree of radial displacement of which the system 110 is capable.
- the extension 116 is disposed in the recess 140 in Figure 3 and represents a run in condition.
- the recess 140 has been moved from radially inwardly of the extension 116 to a position where the extension 116 is no longer nested into the recess 140.
- the recess can be seen in Figure 4 to be to the right of the extension 116.
- the recess 140 includes a ramp 144 that assists in urging the extension 116 radially outwardly to then rest on the surface 142 of the mandrel 122.
- the device 112 and attendant pad 114 are radially displaced into contact with a casing as was the case in Figure 2 displacing incidental air gaps with the material of the pad 114 and providing a significantly better acoustic coupling between the device 112 and the casing 124.
- the device 112 may be pivotally connected to another portion of the system 110 at pivot 146. While the pivot 146 is illustrated at an uphole end (left in the figure) it is to be appreciated that the pivot could alternatively be placed at the downhole end (right in the figure). Selection of which end the pivot might be on is only related to which direction one might want to move the device after deployment. If it is to be retrieved to surface, the pivot location as shown would be preferred with the device will tend to move radially inwardly naturally in that direction.
- the pivot at the downhole end might be beneficial since movement in that direction would be aided by the pivot at the lower end. Again, the device 112 would naturally move radially inwardly with the system moving in the downhole direction.
- the mandrel 122 may be shifted in a number of ways including mechanically and hydraulically.
- a wellbore system 200 includes a borehole 202 within a subsurface formation 204.
- the borehole has disposed therein a tubular member 206 extending along the borehole 202.
- a deployment system 10 or 110 as disclosed above.
- the deployment system 10 or 110 facilitated acoustic
