Patent number: 10260333Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for determining flow patterns of fluid in a production well. Especially, the invention relates to a method of determining flow patterns between and into oil production wells drilled in the Earth when flow is improved by water flooding. The system comprises a canister (1) said canister being located in said formation at a subterranean location within or proximate the wellbore, the canister being provided with an exit opening (5), a traceable component (4) being placed in the canister and able to pass through the exit opening and a release mechanism capable of releasing the traceable component when triggered by a triggering mechanism such that the traceable component enters the fluid flowing through the well through the exit opening and is present in the fluid flow in the wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Total E&P Danmark A/SInventors: Robert Bouke Peters, Kenneth Brough

Patent number: 9598921Abstract: According to the method for well and reservoir management in open hole completions, a data acquisition module (100) is advanced through the wellbore and acquires data providing information revealing fractures in the wall of the wellbore, and at least one blocking system (1002, 3000), on the basis of the data acquired, is placed in the wellbore(199, 2199, 3006) at the location of a fracture in the wall. The data acquisition module (100) is advanced by interaction with a fluid present in the wellbore, and the data acquisition module acquires data providing information on its own position in relation to the wall (3005) of the wellbore (199, 2199, 3006) and is controlled on the basis of said data in order to maintain a distance to the wall of the wellbore during its advancement. A system for well and reservoir management in open hole completions is further disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2012Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: MAERSK OLIE OG GAS A/SInventors: Wilhelmus Hubertus Paulus Maria Heijnen, Robert Bouke Peters, David Ian Brink

Patent number: 9353588Abstract: The invention relates to a device for examining a tubular channel, the device comprising a three-way valve, buoyancy means, pressure means, a vent line, at least one sensor and computation means; wherein the three-way valve controls the fluid flow between the pressure means and the buoyancy means and between the buoyancy means and the vent line; the computation means is communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and adapted to generate a control signal based on data received from the at least one sensor; and wherein the pressure means is fluidly coupled to the buoyancy means via the three-way valve such that a fluid may flow from the pressure means to the buoyancy means or from the buoyancy means to the surroundings of the device via the vent line; and wherein the computation means is communicatively coupled to the three-way valve and controls said three-way valve via the control signal. Thereby, the invention is able to examine e.g.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2010Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: MAERSK OIL QATAR A/SInventors: Wilhelmus Hubertus Paulus Maria Heijnen, Robert Bouke Peters
