Patent number: 11768311Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) downhole tool and method that may include a housing, a power source, a Radio Frequency (RF) pulse generator tank electrically connected to the power source, a power switch electrically disposed within the RF pulse generator tank and disposed in the housing, and an NMR signal acquisition tank electrically connected to the RF pulse generator tank and disposed in the housing. The method may include disposing the NMR downhole tool into a wellbore, charging a first capacitor with the power source that is electrically connected to the first capacitor, generating a RF pulse, disconnecting the first capacitor from the RF pulse generator tank, and storing energy from the inductive coil in the first capacitor. The method may further include connecting the inductive coil to an NMR signal acquisition tank using a decoupler switch and acquiring an NMR signal with the NMR signal acquisition tank.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Zbigniew Sobolewski, Arcady Reiderman

Patent number: 9932816Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a system for mounting a strain sensor on a tubular pipe, which includes a mechanical clamp. The clamp has a bottom flexing section having an arcuate portion terminating at a first terminal and at a second end, and a first and second upper flexing sections having an arcuate portions terminating at first terminal ends and at second terminal ends in a pivot pin assembly having a bore parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the clamp, the bore there through for receiving a removable connector. Sensor mounting arms are disposed outwardly on the first and second upper flexing sections, said sensor mounting arms including at least one receptacle sized to receive and retain ends of a strain gauge.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Zbigniew Sobolewski, Mark A.
