  • Patent number: 10989024
    Abstract: A method and system of communicating with a device by controlling the flow rate of a fluid. The method comprises transmitting an encoded message with a flow control device by controlling the flow rate of a fluid and generating a signal indicative of the flow rate with a receiver. The method also comprises decoding the message by analyzing the signal using amplitude shift-keying. The system comprises a flow control device, a receiver, and a controller. The flow control device is in fluid communication with a tubular string and transmits an encoded message by controlling the flow rate of the fluid flowing through the tubular string. The receiver generates a signal indicative of the flow rate of the fluid in the tubular string. The controller is in communication with the receiver and decodes the message by analyzing the signal using amplitude shift-keying.

  • Patent number: 10907471
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a well tool. The well tool system includes a receiving tool disposed in a wellbore tubular. The receiving tool is configured to transition from an inactive state to an active state in response to a triggering signal. The well tool system further includes a transmitting tool at a surface and proximate to the receiving tool. The transmitting tool is configured to wirelessly transmit the triggering signal to the receiving tool.

  • Patent number: 10808523
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a well tool. The well tool system includes a receiving tool including two ends positioned in a wellbore tubular in a predetermined orientation. The receiving tool is configured to transition from an inactive state to an active state in response to a triggering signal. The well tool system further includes a transmitting tool at a surface and proximate to the receiving tool. The transmitting tool is configured to wirelessly transmit the triggering signal to the receiving tool using inductive coupling based on the predetermined orientation.
