Abstract: A selective stimulation system includes coiled tubing in which a distributed sensor array is disposed. The distributed sensor array is to measure hydrocarbon production parameters along the distributed sensor array in a wellbore of a formation. A selective fracturing apparatus is coupled to the coiled tubing. The selective fracturing apparatus is to fracture selected areas of the wellbore. A controller is coupled to the distributed sensor array and controls operation of the selective fracturing apparatus based on the measured hydrocarbon production parameters.

Abstract: A formation fluid evaluation system (800) interconnected within a tubular string (818) for operation in a wellbore (802) having multiple zones (806, 808, 810). The evaluation system (800) includes a set of straddle packers (820, 822) that is operable to sequentially isolate the multiple zones (806, 808, 810). A test valve (824) is disposed between the straddle packers (820, 822). A fluid unloading assembly (828) is positioned uphole of the straddle packers (820, 822). The fluid unloading assembly (828) is operable to draw fluid (834) from the isolated zone (808) into the tubular string (818) through the test valve (824) in response to the circulation of a drive fluid down the tubular string (818). A formation evaluation instrument (836) is disposed within the tubular string (818) and determines a characteristic of the fluid (834) received from the isolated zone (808).

Abstract: A formation fluid evaluation system (100) interconnected within a tubular string (118) for operation in a wellbore (102) having multiple zones (106, 108, 110). The evaluation system (100) includes a pair of straddle packers (120, 122) that isolates one zone (108) of the multiple zones (106, 108, 110), a test valve (124) disposed between the straddle packers (120, 122) and an upper packer (126) positioned uphole of the uppermost zone (106) of the multiple zones (106, 108, 110). A fluid lift assembly (128) is position uphole of the upper packer (126). The fluid lift assembly (128) is operable to draw fluid (134) from the isolated zone (108) into the tubular string (118) through the test valve (124). A formation evaluation instrument (136) is disposed within the tubular string (118) and determines a characteristic of the fluid (134) received from the isolated zone (108).

Abstract: System, apparatus, and method of telemetering downhole sensor information to the surface while operations are performed in an oil or gas well using coiled tubing. Data are transmitted on coiled tubing as digital signals encoded in acoustic signals. In one implementation, a stripper packer through which coiled tubing is moved into a well is operated between at least a first state and a second state; and an acoustic communication device responds to operation of the stripper packer such that when the stripper packer is in the first state, the acoustic communication device is decoupled from acoustic communication with the coiled tubing, but when the stripper packer is in the second state, the acoustic communication device is coupled for acoustic communication with the coiled tubing.
