ENERGY HARVESTING IN WELLBORE APPLICATIONS

摘要

Energy harvesting devices can be deployed in a wellbore to transform external energy in the wellbore to electric power for consumption by electric devices disposed in the wellbore. A method includes deploying an energy harvesting device downhole in a wellbore, transforming, with the energy harvesting device, external energy in the wellbore to electric power and supplying the electric power from the energy harvesting device to an electric device disposed in the wellbore.
