  • Remote detection technology based apparatus and methodology for miniaturized sensor recovery
    Patent number: 12221882
    Abstract: A system includes a drilling microchip, a mud return line, a microchip detector, and a computer system. The drilling microchip has an identifier and configured to be pumped into the drill string and up the annulus using the drilling fluid to obtain data about the well. The mud return line is hydraulically connected to the annulus of the well and a shale shaker. The microchip detector is connected to the shale shaker and has a detection range. The microchip detector is configured to interact with the identifier to indicate a presence of the drilling microchip in the detection range. The computer system is electronically connected to the microchip detector. The microchip detector is configured to send a signal to the computer system upon indication of the presence of the drilling microchip.
