  • Monitoring Deposition in Fluid Flowlines that Convey Fluids During Wellbore Operations
    Publication number: 20220317091
    Abstract: A system can control a transmission of a pressure signal subsea into a flowline comprising a fluid. The system can receive sensor data indicating one or more properties of a first reflection signal corresponding to the pressure signal in the flowline. The system can adjust a model based on the one or more properties of the first reflection signal. The model can be configured for determining a presence of a material deposition in the flowline. The system can determine, based on a second reflection signal and the adjusted model, a presence of the material deposition in the flowline. The system can output a command configured to initiate a remediation operation to reduce the material deposition in the flowline.
