Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system, an apparatus and a method for detecting line-attached tools in an above-surface portion of a well for use during well-work overs and/or interventions. The system includes the apparatus which comprises: a body for housing at least one magnetic-field generator and at least one magnetic-field sensor; and a tubular portion that is configured to be housed within the body. The tubular portion has a bore for receiving the line-attached tools and the at least one magnetic-field sensor is configured for detecting changes in the magnetic field caused by the line-attached tool approaching, moving through and/or moving away from the body. The system may further include a processor unit for receiving one or more signals from the at least one magnetic-field sensor and for determining the location and/or one or more dimensions of the line-attached tool while approaching, moving through or moving away from the body.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a coiled-tubing system, a coiled tubing inspection tool and methods for using same. The system comprises coiled tubing that is wound about a coiled tubing reel and a coiled tubing injector head that is connected to an oil-and-gas well above a pressurized zone. The coiled-tubing system also includes the inspection tool that is connected to the well within the pressurized zone. The inspection tool is configured to generate a magnetic field and to detect changes in the magnetic field as a section of coiled tubing approaches, moves through and moves away from the inspection tool. Detecting changes in the magnetic field may be indicative of a damaged section of the coiled tubing.

Abstract: A detection system for detecting when a blocking body has passed through a location within a well. The detection system includes a blocking body that is introducible into the well and is operatively configured to produce a detectable signal, and a detection tool that is configured to detect the detectable signal and to generate an output signal that indicates a detectable event.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a pipe within a well structure comprises a tubular body extending between first and second ends and having an inner surface defining a passage therethrough and an outer surface formed of a non-magnetic alloy metal. The apparatus further comprises a pair of flanges each connected to one of the first or second ends of the tubular body having a passage therethrough corresponding to the passage of the tubular body, each of the pair of flanges being connectable inline with the well structure. The apparatus further comprises at least one sensor stack being locatable around an outside of the tubular body comprising a sensor adapted to measure magnetic field strength and at least one magnetic stack being locatable around the outside of the tubular body comprising at least one magnet.

Abstract: A system for sensing a pipe joint within a well structure bore comprises a body connectable in line with the well structure. The body has a central bore therethrough and includes a plurality of blind bores extending radially inwards from the outer surface. The system further includes at least one sleeve being locatable within one of the plurality of blind bores wherein each of the sleeves has a ma et located at an end thereof at least one sensor being locatable within one of the at least one sleeves. The at least one sensor is operable to output a signal representing the width of a metallic object located within the central bore. The system may further include a display operable to receive the output signal from the at least one sensor and to display an output to a user indicating the width of the metallic object within the central bore.
