  • Patent number: 10323507
    Abstract: A multi-zone monitoring system allowing simultaneous measurement of separate zones of multi-zone wellbore formations comprising a multi-component umbilical containing both electrical lines and a hydraulic fluid lines, an inflatable isolation packer that can traverse through the wellbore and be inflated with hydraulic fluid to seal off a portion of the wellbore wherein the inflatable isolation packer is connected to a hydraulic line of the multi-component umbilical, wherein the inflatable isolation packer further comprises: one or more cable bypass feed throughs for the umbilical's electric and hydraulic fluid lines, wherein the hydraulic line is attached to the inflatable isolation packer with compression fittings.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150337643
    Abstract: A downhole logging tool and method of use for analysing portions of a seafloor borehole in seafloor drilling operations are provided. The downhole logging tool h an underwater chassis housing a power system and sensors including at least a conductivity sensor and a magnetic susceptibility sensor which, preferably, analyse the walls of the borehole. An automatically actuated switch, preferably actuated magnetically, provides power to the sensors from the power system when the downhole logging tool is not located in a designated portion of a seafloor drilling rig (e.g. when the tool is in use traversing a borehole) and removes power when the downhole logging tool is located in the designated portion of the seafloor drilling rig (e.g. when the downhole tool is not in use).

  • Publication number: 20150268178
    Abstract: A method of subsea testing using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is provided. The ROV has a spectroscopic sensor, preferably an x-ray fluorescence or neutron activation analysis sensor. The method includes identifying seafloor material to analyse, directing the ROV to the identified seafloor material, and analysing the seafloor material with the spectroscopic sensor. The method allows real time, or at least near real time, analysis of seafloor materials of interest without the need to obtain samples for analysis at the surface.
