  • Non-intrusive wellhead seal monitoring
    Patent number: 11795815
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for operating a hydrocarbon well system that include installing a wellhead seal assembly at a wellhead of a hydrocarbon well system, conducting pressure testing of a wellhead seal cavity defined by the seal assembly to verify its integrity, disposing a control fluid into the wellhead seal cavity, conducting baseline ultrasonic imaging of the wellhead seal cavity to generate a baseline ultrasonic image that depicts a signature of the control fluid disposed in the wellhead seal cavity at a first point in time, conducting updated ultrasonic imaging of the wellhead seal cavity to generate an updated ultrasonic image that depicts a signature of substances disposed in the wellhead seal cavity at a second point in time, comparing the updated ultrasonic image to the baseline ultrasonic image to determine whether the integrity of the wellhead seal cavity has been compromised.
