Self-locating downhole devices |
| 摘要 |
A technique that is usable with a well includes deploying a plurality of location markers in a passageway of the well and deploying an untethered object in the passageway such that the object travels downhole via the passageway. The technique includes using the untethered object to sense proximity of at least some of the location markers as the object travels downhole, and based on the sensing, selectively expand its size to cause the object to become lodged in the passageway near a predetermined location. |

1. A method usable with a well, comprising:
deploying a plurality of landmarks in a passageway of the well; deploying an untethered object in the passageway such that the object travels downhole via the passageway, wherein the untethered object comprises an electromagnetic antenna; and using the antenna of the untethered object to sense proximity of at least one of the landmarks as the object travels downhole and based on the sensing, selectively expand its size to cause the object to become lodged in the passageway near a predetermined location. |
