Publication number: 20220316331Abstract: A sensing system for monitoring a composition of a downhole fluid in a well, where the sensing system includes: a light source, an optical waveguide, an evanescent field sensing element that is indirect contact with a downhole fluid, and a detector. The light source is operable for emitting a beam and includes a frequency comb generator configured to modify at least a portion of the beam into a sensing comb beam. The evanescent field sensing element provides attenuated internal reflection of the sensing comb beam at the interface between the evanescent field sensing element and the downhole fluid, and the portion of the sensing comb beam interacts with the fluid to form at least a portion of an interacted beam. The detector obtains a spectral distribution of the interacted beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2021Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Adrian Cesar Cavazos Sepulveda, Damian Pablo San Roman Alerigi

Publication number: 20220317365Abstract: An optical fiber has corrugations on an outer surface to dissipate a portion of an input light beam, allowing the remaining portion of the light beam to be coupled to the optical fiber. By dissipating the portion of input light, damage to the optical fiber by uncoupled light is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2021Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Hesham Sakr, Hans Christian Hansen Mulvad, Shaif-ul Alam, Lin Xu, Callum Smith, John Hayes, David Richardson, Francesco Poletti, Damian Pablo San Roman Alerigi, Sameeh Issa Batarseh

Publication number: 20220268121Abstract: A laser system for freeing downhole equipment includes a laser tool having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the downhole equipment and a means for generating a ring-shaped collimated laser beam. The laser system further includes a work string with the inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the downhole equipment. The laser tool is installed on the work string and the work string is lowered around the downhole equipment. Upon lowering the work string to a position in which the laser tool is located proximate to an obstruction of the downhole tool, the laser tool emits the ring-shaped collimated laser beam so as to clear out an annulus space between the downhole equipment and a wellbore wall in order to free the downhole equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Sameeh Issa Batarseh, Damian Pablo San Roman Alerigi

Patent number: 10738579Abstract: An example method includes stimulating a wellbore using a plasma tool configured to operate in the wellbore. The method includes introducing the plasma tool into the wellbore and generating one or more first laser beams. The method includes directing the one or more first laser beams to one or more first points outside of the downhole unit and inside a volume of fluid at least partially confined by an acoustic mirror. The one or more first laser beams may create a plasma bubble at a first point resulting in one or more shock waves in the volume of fluid. The method includes deforming the acoustic mirror to produce, from the one or more shock waves, one or more destructive reflected waves directed to one or more second points outside of the downhole unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Sameeh Issa Batarseh, Damian Pablo San Roman Alerigi
