Patent number: 11702929Abstract: Embodiments for determining a stuck pipe location include determining that a pipe is stuck in a wellbore due to an obstruction; deploying a fiber optic stuck pipe location detector inside the pipe, activating a first fiber optic sensor to detect a baseline reading, and manipulating the pipe. Some embodiments include detecting micro-noises caused by the stretching of the pipe, wirelessly acquiring data related to the micro-noises from the first fiber optic sensor, and determining a location of the obstruction by comparing the baseline reading with the data related to the micro-noises. Some embodiments include recovering the pipe at a predetermined point around the location of the obstruction while leaving the first fiber optic sensor inside the pipe.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Paolo Ilham Sola Gratia, Juan Manuel Polo Terán, Julio C.

Patent number: 11408277Abstract: An assembly for indicating a window milling progress and a casing exit trajectory in a well may include a cylindrical housing having an inclined plane that extends along a central axis thereof. The inclined plane may extend from a lower end to an upper end of the cylindrical housing. The assembly may include an indicating device. The indicating device may include a cylindrical body having a surface that faces in a downward direction. The indicating device may include a plurality of anchor slips located on a curved rectangular side of the cylindrical body. The indicating device may include a set of inserts located at predetermined locations along a length of the curved rectangular side of the cylindrical body. The assembly may include a coupling mechanism that connects the indicating device to the cylindrical housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventor: Julio C.
