Anomaly Recognition System And Methodology

摘要

A technique facilitates anomaly recognition and tracking in a variety of components, such as tubular components. The technique comprises sensing for anomalies in the component, and storing detected anomalies in a storage medium. The detected anomalies are matched with stored digital descriptions of anomalies. The stored digital descriptions may comprise anomalies of similar types and/or anomalies detected on the specific component being tested. The detected anomalies are ranked according to similarities with respect to the stored digital descriptions.

1. A method for anomaly recognition and tracking, comprising:
storing digital descriptions of anomalies in a digital storage medium; moving a well component and an anomaly sensor relative to each other to detect anomalies in the well component; running an anomaly matching algorithm on a processor system to determine at least one matching coefficient between the anomalies in the well component and a digital description of the anomalies stored in the digital storage medium; and ranking the matching coefficients to determine highly ranked matches between anomalies detected in the well component via the anomaly sensor and the digital descriptions of anomalies stored in the digital storage medium.
