Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for monitoring for monitoring and evaluating conditions associated with a wellbore and wellbore operations that use neural operators instead of computationally intensive iterative differential equations. Such systems and techniques allow for determinations to be made as operations associated with a wellbore are performed. Instead of having to wait for computationally intensive tasks to be performed or take risks of proceeding with a wellbore operation without real-time evaluations being performed, these wellbore operations may be continued while determinations are timely made, thus improving operation of computing systems that perform evaluations and that make decisions regarding safely and efficiently performing wellbore operations such as drilling a wellbore, cementing wellbore casings in place, or injecting fluids into formations of the Earth.

Abstract: Electromagnetic logging tools are optimized using synthetic logs for the purpose of pre-job planning and accuracy/resolution estimation. One, two and three-dimensional forward modeling are used to generate accurate inspection tool responses. A radial one-dimensional (R1D) electromagnetic forward model is also used to compute an approximate log. By constructing non-linear mapping functions between the R1D model-based log and the 2D model-based log, and mapping the R1D synthetic log using the non-linear mapping functions, a quasi 2D log is computed. The quasi 2D log is processed using model-based inversion, thereby providing estimates of pipe parameters. By analyzing the estimates of pipe parameters, tool performance metrics are obtained and analyze to determine the performance of the tool. The tool parameters are adjusted in order to optimize the performance metrics.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for accounting for artifacts in pipe measurements made by an electromagnetic pipe inspection tool. Measurements gathered in a plurality of pipes across different depth points are accessed. Initial estimates of an attribute associated with the plurality of pipes are made for each pipe and a total estimate of the attribute for the plurality of pipes as a whole are made across the different depth points. Corresponding initial estimates of the attribute for each pipe are filtered to remove an artifact present in at least one of the corresponding initial estimates while the total estimate is preserved. Corresponding final estimates of the attribute for each pipe are determined based on both the measurements and corresponding filtered initial estimates of the attribute for each pipe. Integrity of each pipe can be determined based on the corresponding final estimates of the attribute.
