Method of Real Time Monitoring of Well Operations Using Self-Sensing Treatment Fluids

摘要

Downhole conditions in a wellbore may be monitored in real time by pumping into the well a sensing treatment fluid which includes a piezoelectric or piezoresistive material and measuring changes in electrical resistivity within the wellbore. The monitoring in real time of the piezoelectric or piezoresistive material enhances the integrity of the wellbore during the setting of the treatment fluid as well as during the lifetime of the well.
