| Abstract Scope |
Advent of water reactive or dissolvable materials and nanostructured alloys, enabling engineering of high strength, corrosion resistant structural materials with tailored specific gravity and with an intelligent combination of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) sensor devices, mechanism to assess “Corrosion and Environmentally Assisted Cracking (EAC)” of oilfield alloys under live reservoir conditions is now possible. Our sensors facilitate testing at the production zone and not in a simulated autoclave environment, providing much needed data to make judicious materials selection for target environment without assumptions and extrapolations. Here we present method to deploy retrievable sensor packages in wellbore, wherein the gauge carrier is (1) made from bulk nanomaterial (2) has tailored specific gravity (3) ultra-high strength; as such can withstand greater than 10,000 psi collapse with wall thickness of ~ 1mm (4) can be corrosion resistant (stemming from customer requirement) (5) allows the retrieval of the sensor package aided by buoyant forces. |
