Wellbore Completion Assembly with Real-Time Data Communication Apparatus

摘要

In one aspect an apparatus for use in a wellbore is disclosed that in one non-limiting embodiment includes a completion assembly that contains a filter section having a tubular with a plurality of through holes filled with a filter material for restricting flow of solid particles through the holes for placement of the filter section across from a zone along the wellbore, a sensor inside the tubular for providing information about a parameter of interest during treatment of and/or production from the zone into the tubular, and a first circuit coupled to the sensor that transmits wireless signals corresponding to measurements made by the sensor to a second circuit that transmits the received signals to the surface.

1. An apparatus for use in a wellbore, comprising:
A completion assembly including a tubular that includes a plurality of through holes filled with a filter material to form a filter section that restricts flow of solid particles through such holes and a sensor in the tubular for providing information about a parameter of interest during treatment of a zone or production of a fluid from the zone into the tubular; a first circuit coupled to the sensor that transmits first signals corresponding to measurements made by the sensor; a second circuit spaced from the first circuit on a member placed inside the tubular to receive the first signals; and a communication link between the second circuit and a surface location that transmits second signals responsive to the first signals to the surface location.
