  • Patent number: 11619124
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein facilitate operation of well-related tools. In certain embodiments, a variety of data (e.g., downhole data and/or surface data) may be collected to enable optimization of operations related to the well-related tools. In certain embodiments, the collected data may be provided as advisory data (e.g., presented to human operators of the well to inform control actions performed by the human operators) and/or used to facilitate automation of downhole processes and/or surface processes (e.g., which may be automatically performed by a computer implemented surface processing system (e.g., a well control system), without intervention from human operators). In certain embodiments, the systems and methods described herein may enhance downhole operations (e.g., milling operations) by improving the efficiency and utilization of data to enable performance optimization and improved resource controls of the downhole operations.

  • Patent number: 10934837
    Abstract: A system for use in carrying out downhole coiled tubing applications with two-way telemetry over a single fiber optic thread. The system includes uphole and downhole assemblies each having unique couplers. Specifically, the couplers may be configured to secure the single fiber optic thread at one end thereof while having dedicated fiber optic channels at another side thereof for interfacing a fiber optic transmitter and receiver. Thus, fiber optic data may travel from a surface assembly over the thread for detection at the downhole assembly simultaneous with fiber optic data travelling from the downhole assembly to the surface assembly over the same thread.

  • Publication number: 20180073356
    Abstract: A system for managing multiple transmissions over a single fiber optic thread at an oilfield. The system includes surface equipment and a downhole device coupled to the equipment by way of the fiber optic thread. The types of transmissions may be telemetric or even optical power. Additionally, the transmissions may be one-way or two-way in nature between the equipment and the downhole device. Additionally, unique platform layouts may be employed for sake of managing different transmission types in different ways, for example, during coiled tubing operations.
