Patent number: 10648296Abstract: A casing deployment apparatus includes a processing resource with a signal pattern recognition engine unit (420), a tubular measurement unit (404) and a decision unit (416). A first sensor input (402) and a second sensor input (406) are attached to the pattern recognition unit (420) and receive first sensor data and second sensor data corresponding to first and second time-varying sensor signals. The pattern recognition unit (420) analyzes a characteristic of the first sensor data to determine whether the characteristic is substantially consistent with a first expected characteristic of the first sensor data associated with deployment of casing in a borehole. The tubular measurement unit (404) analyzes a characteristic of the second sensor data in order to determine whether the characteristic is substantially consistent with a second expected characteristic of the second sensor data associated with the deployment of the casing.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2015Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Bertrand du Castel, John Christian Luppens, James Curtis Brannigan, Oney Erge

Publication number: 20150134258Abstract: A method for identifying and predicting well pressure control events includes pumping fluid into a wellbore and collecting fluid returning from the wellbore. A first parameter related to a rate of flow of fluid pumped into the wellbore is measured. A second parameter related to a rate of flow of fluid out of the wellbore is measured.

An alarm when at least one of the following occurs: ECD is at least equal to a fracture pressure of at least one formation in the wellbore, ESD is at most equal to a fluid pore pressure of at least one formation in the wellbore, and ESD is at most equal to a collapse pressure of the wellbore.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2014Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: John Christian Luppens, Oney Erge, Chunling Gu Coffman, Rustam Isangulov
