Abstract: A fluid analysis system for characterizing a multiphase fluid includes a first set of acoustic probes disposed at a first angular position about a central axis of the fluid analysis system and oriented to direct first sound waves along a first direction that is parallel to the central axis, a second set of acoustic probes disposed at a second angular position about the central axis that is opposite to the first angular position and oriented to direct second sound waves along the first direction, a third set of acoustic probes spanning the central axis and oriented to direct third sound waves along a second direction that is perpendicular to the central axis, and an analysis unit. The analysis unit is configured to determine a location of a fluid interface within the multiphase fluid based on first, second, and third parameters respectively associated with the first, second, and third sounds waves.

Abstract: A well cleaning tool includes a positioning device configured to control a position of the well cleaning tool within a well, a rotatable brush assembly configured to scrape a wall of the well, a capture device configured to catch debris dislodged from the wall by the rotatable brush assembly, and a fluid delivery assembly configured to deliver a cleaning fluid to the well.

Abstract: A method of cleaning a well includes flowing well fluid within the well while running a cleaning tool into the well, injecting the well fluid with a fluid thickening agent through multiple nozzles of the well cleaning tool to form thickened well fluid, dislodging metallic debris and non-metallic debris accumulated along a wall of the well with multiple brushes of the cleaning tool, carrying the non-metallic debris out of the well with the thickened well fluid, and capturing the metallic debris at a capture device of the cleaning tool.

Abstract: A system includes a bottom hole assembly and a core sampling tool. The bottom hole assembly includes a housing and a drill bit coupled to the housing. The core sampling tool includes a first compartment positioned within the housing, the first compartment including a motor; a second compartment positioned within the housing and radially spaced apart from the first compartment, the second compartment including a coring bit; and a flexible drilling shaft extending between and coupled to the motor and the coring bit.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for predicting fluid holdups along the borehole or the pipe on surface and to perform fluid typing and fluid properties characterization. Acoustic waves are transmitted by an array of acoustic wave transducers. Each transducer is configured to transmit acoustic waves at a different frequency. The acoustic waves are received by an array of acoustic wave receivers fixed on the bow centralizer on the tool used in the borehole. Each receiver is configured to receive only the given frequency of a given transducer, forming a receiver-transducer pair for the given frequency. Acoustic speeds measured at each given frequency and analyzed. A model is generated based on the analyzing. The model is configured to predict fluid holdups across the borehole and to perform fluid typing and fluid properties characterization in one phase, two phase, and three phase applications of gas, oil, and water.

Abstract: A wellbore tool includes a body having a longitudinal axis and an outer circumferential surface. The wellbore tool includes moveable arms, housings, actuators, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and a heat source, such as a microwave source. Each moveable arm is coupled to a respective actuator and a respective housing. Each actuator is configured to move the respective moveable arm. The temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the subterranean formation. The pressure sensor is configured to measure a pressure of the subterranean formation. The microwave source is configured to generate microwave radiation. Methods of analyzing acquired transient temperature and transient pressure data for formation evaluation are also described.
