COMPLETION SYSTEM HAVING A SAND CONTROL ASSEMBLY, AN INDUCTIVE COUPLER, AND A SENSOR PROXIMATE TO THE SAND CONTROL ASSEMBLY

摘要

A completion system for use in a well includes a first completion section and a second section. The first completion section has a sand control assembly to prevent passage of particulates, a first inductive coupler portion, and a sensor positioned proximate to the sand control assembly that is electrically coupled to the first inductive coupler portion. The second section is deployable after installation of the first completion section. It includes a second inductive coupler portion to communicate with the first inductive coupler portion, to enable communication between the first completion section's sensor and another component coupled to the second section.

主权项

1. A sensor assembly for deployment into a well, comprising:
a sandscreen configured to prevent passage of particulate material into a completion section; a sensor cable comprising: an outer liner; a plurality of spaced apart sensors inside the outer liner, wherein the sensors are spaced apart longitudinally along a length of the cable; and wires inside the outer liner to interconnect the plurality of sensors, wherein the sensor cable is deployed proximate to the sand screen in the well.
