Patent number: 8726980Abstract: A technique facilitates the employment of an electric submersible pumping system or other well system downhole into a wellbore. The electric motor system is coupled with a signal carrying cable for conveyance to a desired downhole location in the wellbore. The signal carrying cable is constructed with sufficient strength to solely support the electric motor system during deployment and use in the wellbore without addition of a separate supporting mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Joseph Varkey, Allan D.

Patent number: 8069879Abstract: A hydrocarbon application hose to avoid substantial compression and blow-out resulting from high pressurization differentials therethrough. The hose is formed from an inner tube that has a layer of material with electromagnetic target, such as carbon fiber, disbursed therethrough. In this manner, the material, generally a polymer, may be electromagnetically heated once the layer has been wrapped with a metallic reinforcing member. Thus, the layer of material may transform into surrounding relation relative to the reinforcing member. A substantially unitary inner tube may thereby be provided that includes a reinforcing member for blowout resistance and is of unitary character for compression resistance.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Joseph Varkey, Willem A.

Patent number: 7730936Abstract: A heating and distributed-temperature-sensor cable permanently fixed in a wellbore that permits known amounts of heat to be introduced to subsurface formations and improved temperature measurement thereof. The heat is introduced into a target zone of the wellbore by forming the cable in two sections: an upper section that carries an electrical current without generating significant amounts of heat, and a lower section that generates heat from the electrical current. Continuous distributed-temperature-sensing is performed through measuring various scattering mechanism in optical fibers that run the length of the cable.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2007Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Vladimir Hernandez-Solis, Montie W.
