  • Patent number: 8661888
    Abstract: A thermal disturbance of a rock mass is performed by circulating a fluid through a borehole, a temperature of the circulation fluid differs from a temperature of the rock mass. Before, during and after the thermal disturbance, differential electrical signals proportional to a temperature difference between two points along the borehole are registered by at least one pair of differential temperature transducers disposed along an axis of the borehole Differential electrical signals measured before the thermal disturbance are compared with differential electrical signals measured during the thermal disturbance and differential electrical signals of different temperature transducers positioned along the wellbore borehole are compared with one another. Based on the comparison results of different rock mass areas with different properties are identified.

  • Publication number: 20110156707
    Abstract: The rock mass thermal excitation is performed by means of pumping the flush fluid through the wellbore using a tubing string, the flush fluid temperature differs from the rock mass temperature. Before the thermal excitation, during the thermal excitation and after the termination thereof differential electrical signals proportional to the well bore temperature difference are registered by at least one pair of the temperature transducers positioned along the wellbore axis. The distances between the transducers in the pairs and the number of pairs is selected in advance based on the required accuracy of the determination of the rock mass areas with different properties, minimum and maximum possible length of the rock mass areas identified and the nature and degree of the wellbore temperature noise.

  • Patent number: 7234520
    Abstract: The invention relates to jet devices and the operating methods thereof and can be used in order to produce and intensify the oil inflow from a well. The inventive device comprises a jet pump arranged on a tubing string in the well with a casing string. An active nozzle and a mixing chamber are coaxially arranged in the body of said pump and a bypass channel provided with a mounting seat for a sealing unit with an axial channel or for functional inserts with autonomous instruments is embodied. The output of the pump is connected to an annular space of the tubing string, the input of a channel for supplying a working medium to the active nozzle being connected to the internal space of the tubing string above the sealing unit. A channel for removing the medium pumped out from the well is connected to the internal cavity of the tubing string below the sealing unit. Said device is also provided with a radiation source and a receiver-transducer of physical fields and a packer.

  • Patent number: 7090011
    Abstract: The inventive method consists in the following: a drillable packer provided with a channel closed by a back valve is arranged in a well; afterwards a tubing string carrying a jet pump and a stinger is run into said well, the stringer being connected to the packer; the back valve is open; a logging instrument and a sealing unit are introduced into the tubing string with the aid of a cable; a depression is produced on the formation by means of the pump, a bottomhole pressure and the parameters of the formation are measured with the aid of said instrument, the parameters of physical fields being recorded. The results of said investigations being interpreted, the technical state of the well is defined. The instrument and the sealing unit being extracted from the tube string, a blocking insert is dropped therein. The tubing string is uplifted, the stringer is disconnected from the packer and the back valve is closed.
