  • Wear data quantification for well tools
    Patent number: 11301989
    Abstract: A method of quantifying wear data on a well tool includes identifying the well tool based on a solid model file and a data file corresponding to the well tool, wherein the solid model and data files are stored on a computer system and separately identify wear parts of the well tool, scanning the well tool with a scanner and thereby generating a scanned file of the well tool, the scanner being in communication with the computer system, aligning the scanned file with the solid model file to obtain an overlay output, creating digital features on the wear parts of the scanned file, and calculating deviation between the solid model file and the scanned file at the digital features for the wear parts and thereby determining material removed from the wear parts of the well tool.
