METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING DOWNHOLE ASSETS

摘要

A method of monitoring downhole assets includes tracking a location of a downhole asset relative to a first environment. The configuration information for the downhole asset is acquired, where the configuration information comprises a measurement of one or more forces applied to the downhole asset during assembly of the downhole asset in the first environment. A service life of the downhole asset is determined from the configuration information. One or more parameters related to usage of the downhole environment in a second environment are measured. A remainder of the service life of the downhole asset is determined by reducing the service life by an amount proportional to usage of the downhole asset as indicated by the measurement related to usage of the downhole asset. The remaining service life may be used to automatically initiate an order for new parts. A system of monitoring downhole assets is also disclosed.

1. A method of monitoring downhole assets, comprising:
(a) tracking a location of a downhole asset relative to a first environment; (b) acquiring configuration information of the downhole asset, the configuration information comprising a measurement of one or more forces applied to the downhole asset during assembly of the downhole asset in the first environment; (c) determining a service life of the downhole asset from the configuration information; (d) measuring one or more parameters related to usage of the downhole asset in a second environment; and (e) determining a remainder of the service life of the downhole asset by reducing the service life by an amount proportional to usage of the downhole asset as indicated by the measurement related to usage of the downhole asset.
