Automated Modular Wellhead Mounted Wireline For Unmanned Extended Real Time Data Monitoring
Abstract
A system for communicating downhole measurements may comprise a remote wireline system connected to a wellhead. The remote wirelines system may further comprise a base support, a spool frame attached to the base support, a spool attached to the spool frame and a conveyance attached to the spool, an acoustic receiver node attached at a second end of the conveyance, a control box attached to the base support and connected to the spool, and a communication device disposed in the control box. A method for communicating downhole measurements may comprise attaching a remote wireline system to a wellhead, lowering the acoustic receiver node through one or more production tubing sections to a heel of a wellbore, communicating with one or more nodes, and transmitting one or more data packets uphole from the one or more nodes to the acoustic receiver node.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A system for communicating downhole measurements comprising:
a remote wireline system comprising:
a base support;
a spool frame attached to the base support;
a spool attached to the spool frame and a conveyance attached to the spool at a first end and wound around the spool;
an acoustic receiver node attached at a second end of the conveyance opposite the first end of the conveyance;
a control box attached to the base support and connected to the spool; and
a communication device disposed in the control box; and
a wellhead, wherein the conveyance is configured to lower the acoustic receiver node into one or more production tubing sections through the wellhead.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more nodes disposed on the casing.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more nodes are configured to communicate with each other and the acoustic receiver node.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more nodes are configured to measure fluid flow within the one or more production tubing sections.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the acoustic receiver node is communicatively coupled to the communication device.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the communication device is configured to communicate with an offsite location.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the base support is configured to connect the remote wireline system to the wellhead through one or more connection devices.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the base support is configured to connect the remote wireline system to a surface through one or more connection devices.
9 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more quick connects that are configured to connect the remote wireline system to a power source, hydraulic fluid, or a data connection through one or more connection ports disposed on the control box.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the power source, the hydraulic fluid, or the data connection is disposed on a vehicle or a skid.
11 . A method for communicating downhole measurements comprising:
attaching a remote wireline system to a wellhead, wherein the remote wireline system comprises:
a base support that is configured to connect the remote wireline system to the wellhead;
a spool frame attached to the base support and a spool attached to the spool frame and a power source, wherein the power source is configured to power the spool;
a conveyance attached to the spool at a first end and wound around the spool;
an acoustic receiver node attached at a second end of the conveyance opposite the first end of the conveyance;
a control box attached to the base support and connected to the spool; and
a communication device disposed in the control box; and
lowering the acoustic receiver node through one or more production tubing sections to a heel of a wellbore; communicating with one or more nodes disposed in the one or more production tubing section with the acoustic receiver node; and transmitting one or more data packets uphole from the one or more nodes to the acoustic receiver node.
12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising measuring fluid flow within the one or more production tubing sections to form the data packets.
13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising transmitting the data packets to an offsite location.
14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the remote wireline system further comprises one or more quick connects.
15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising connecting the remote wireline system to the power source, hydraulic fluid, or a data connection through the one or more quick connects through one or more connection ports disposed on the control box.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the power source, the hydraulic fluid, or the data connection is disposed on a vehicle or skid.
17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising activating the remote wireline system wireless with a remote that is wirelessly communicating with the communication device.
18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising locking the remote wireline system wireless with the remote, wherein the remote activates a lock bar connected to the spool frame and the spool.
19 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising removing the remote wireline system from the wellhead.
20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the conveyance comprises a fiber optic cable.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
