  • Patent number: 11746646
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a well system environment ranging system including a well shoe device with a ranging source. In one aspect the ranging source is a magnetic source that can be a permanent magnet, and electromagnet, or a smart electromagnet. A method is also provided wherein a ranging receiver can be deployed to determine the relative location of the well shoe device to the ranging receiver. The well shoe device and the ranging receiver can be deployed in adjacent wellbores. In one aspect, multiple well shoe devices including a magnetic source can be inserted into one or more wellbores where the magnetic sources can have different specified magnetic field intensity so the well shoe positions can be determined by one or more ranging receivers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10920567
    Abstract: Method and system for implementing health monitoring of downhole tool without disassembly is presented in this disclosure. Investigative equipment can be installed in an exterior housing of the downhole tool so that the investigative equipment is in communication with an interior of the downhole tool. The tool can be positioned in a functional test system so that the tool is at least partially enclosed within the functional test system, and efficiency of the tool can be determined by operating the functional test system. The investigative equipment can be utilized to perform diagnostics on a condition of an internal component on the interior of the tool, and the health of the tool can be predicted based on the determined efficiency and the diagnostics.
