  • Patent number: 8800653
    Abstract: A method for identifying fluid migration or inflow associated with a wellbore tubular, comprises measuring strain of the wellbore tubular with a system comprising at least one string of interconnected sensors that is arranged such that the sensors are distributed along a length and the circumference of the wellbore tubular; establishing a baseline that is a function of steady state strain measurements within a first time period; and identifying fluid migration or inflow where strain measurements substantially deviate from the baseline within a second time period.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 12, 2014
    Assignee: Shell Oil Company

  • Publication number: 20080047662
    Abstract: A string of interconnected strain sensors applied to a cylindrical object for monitoring deformation of the object. The string of interconnected strain sensors is applied in a selected zig-zag pattern. A possibility is to drape a pliable support structure around the object, to which the the string of strain sensors has been mechanically coupled in the selected zig-zag pattern.

  • Publication number: 20050051327
    Abstract: A process may include providing heat from one or more heaters to at least a portion of a subsurface formation. Heat may transfer from one or more heaters to a part of a formation. In some embodiments, heat from the one or more heat sources may pyrolyze at least some hydrocarbons in a part of a subsurface formation. Hydrocarbons and/or other products may be produced from a subsurface formation. Certain embodiments describe apparatus, methods, and/or processes used in treating a subsurface or hydrocarbon containing formation.
