  • Publication number: 20240052714
    Abstract: A system can be used for generating a pressure signal in a flow path defined by a tubular. The system can include a pressure source, a valve, and a controller. The controller can output a command to control the pressure source for outputting a fluid hammer, according to the command, through the valve and into a flow path defined by a wellbore tubular. The system can be positioned external to the flow path. The system can determine, based on the reflection signal, a presence of a deposition, a blockage, or a leak within the flowline while the flowline is in operation.

  • Patent number: 11519807
    Abstract: A system is provided that includes a dart, a pressure sensor, and a controller communicatively coupled with the sensor. The dart is disposed in a fluidic channel. The dart has a main body and a flange extending from the main body and has a diameter greater than or equal to a diameter of the fluidic channel. When the dart translates within the fluidic channel and passes a location of a variation in the fluidic channel, the flange creates a pressure pulse. The pressure sensor measures the pressure pulse within the fluidic channel created by the dart. The controller determines the location of the variation based on the measured pressure pulse.
