Method and system for logging a well
Abstract
A method and system for logging a wellbore. A logging tool is tripped into the wellbore on a service string with a service rig. The service string is assembled from tubing joints. The logging tool may be used to receive variable wellbore data of variable wellbore conditions, which would be subject to variance when the wellbore is disturbed by tripping in a work string for use with previous methods of coiled tubing-based or wireline-based logging. The variable wellbore data may be logged while tripping the service string into the well, out of the well, or both. Data of the depth of the service string as a function of time is also received for correlation with the variable data along a common timeline to map the variable data to locations in the wellbores.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method of logging a well comprising:
tripping a service string into the well, the service string comprising a logging tool connected with a plurality of tubing joints; receiving variable well data as a function of time with the logging tool; receiving tool depth data of the logging tool as a function of time; and tripping the service string out of the well.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of receiving the variable well data is performed while tripping the service string into the well.
3 . The method of claim 2 wherein at least a portion of receiving the variable well data is performed while tripping the service string out of the well.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of receiving the variable well data is performed while tripping the service string out of the well.
5 . The method of claim 1 wherein the variable well data comprises well temperature data.
6 . The method of claim 1 wherein the variable well data comprises well pressure data.
7 . The method of claim 1 wherein the well comprises a vertical portion in communication with a wellhead, a heel in communication with the vertical portion, and a horizontal portion in communication with the heel.
8 . The method of claim 1 wherein the tool depth data comprises data of the number and length of tubing joints and connectors in the service string.
9 . The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving static well data as a function of time.
10 . The method of claim 9 wherein at least a portion of receiving the static well data is performed while tripping the service string into the well.
11 . The method of claim 9 wherein at least a portion of receiving the static well data is performed while tripping the service string out of the well.
12 . The method of claim 9 wherein receiving the static well data as a function of time comprises receiving the static well data with the logging tool.
13 . The method of claim 9 wherein the service string further comprises a static well property logging tool and wherein receiving the static well data as a function of time comprises receiving the static well data with the static well property logging tool.
14 . The method of claim 9 wherein the static well data comprises casing inside diameter data.
15 . The method of claim 9 wherein the static well data comprises bond strength data.
16 . The method of claim 9 wherein the static well data casing integrity data.
17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the service string further comprises a scraper connected with the tubing joints and with the logging tool, and the method further comprising scraping the well with the scraper.
18 . The method of claim 17 wherein at least a portion of receiving the variable well data is performed while tripping the service string into the well and scraping the well.
19 . The method of claim 17 wherein at least a portion of receiving the variable well data is performed while tripping the service string out of the well.
20 . The method of claim 17 further comprising receiving static well data as a function of time.
21 . The method of claim 20 wherein at least a portion of receiving the static well data is performed while tripping the service string into the well and scraping the well.
22 . The method of claim 20 wherein at least a portion of receiving the static well data is performed while tripping the service string out of the well.
23 . A method of logging a well comprising:
tripping a service string into the well, the service string comprising a plurality of tubing joints connected with a logging tool and with a scraper; scraping the well while tripping the service string into the well; receiving variable well data as a function of time with the logging tool; receiving tool depth data of the logging tool as a function of time; and tripping the service string out of the well.
24 . The method of claim 23 wherein at least a portion of receiving the variable well data is performed while tripping the service string into the well.
25 . The method of claim 24 wherein at least a portion of receiving the variable well data is performed while tripping the service string out of the well
26 . The method of claim 23 wherein at least a portion of receiving the variable well data is performed while tripping the service string out of the well.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
