Abstract: In conventional wireline intervention shifting service, the success of the operation is heavily dependent on the engineer’s experience and knowledge. Any wrong judgement in the process of operation could lead to non-productive time or even total failure. Once the operation is completed, the post-job processing and report preparation also require significant manual effort and are extremely time consuming, which often leads to the inadequate or incomplete report. These challenges are addressed by the advanced surface acquisition software presented in this paper. The aim of the surface software is to redefine the selective shifting workflow by leveraging the available instrumentation, streamlining and simplifying operation procedures, eliminating or reducing the typical human errors observed earlier, and greatly reducing the burden on the field engineers for post-job deliverables with automated real-time data collection, processing, and report generation.

Abstract: A tool for use in a borehole in a geological formation may include a chassis, a drill collar surrounding the chassis, a port plug coupled between the drill collar and the chassis, RF antennas carried by the drill collar, and a multi-chip module (MCM) electronics package(s). The electronics package(s) may include a hermetically sealed electronics housing positioned between the chassis and the drill collar, a substrate within the electronics housing, RF transmitter circuitry on the substrate to cooperate with at least one first RF antenna to transmit RF signals into the geological formation, and RF receiver circuitry on the substrate to cooperate with at least one second RF antenna to receive RF signals from the geological formation. Furthermore, an electronics housing mount may couple the electronics housing with the port plug, and the electronics housing mount may have a passageway extending therethrough for receiving the port plug.
