Abstract

A logging system and method for operating a logging system are typically used in a wellbore. The logging system may include a logging instrument including a rechargeable energy storage and logging electronics, and a cable configured to trickle charge the rechargeable energy storage. The rechargeable energy storage may include an ultracapacitor. The rechargeable energy storage may be trickle charged through the cable from a remote power source.

Claims (33)

1. A distributed logging system, comprising:

a plurality of logging instruments disposed at distinct locations within a well, wherein at least one of the logging instruments comprises a high temperature rechargeable energy storage;

wherein said at least one of the plurality of the logging instruments includes a rechargeable energy storage and electronics;

wherein:

the electronics comprise an electromagnetic telemetry transmitter configured to transmit information to a surface location;

the rechargeable energy storage comprises at least one rechargeable ultracapacitor coupled to an energy supply permanently installed at a downhole location; wherein the rechargeable energy storage comprises rechargeable energy storage media that comprises carbon nanotubes;

the rechargeable energy storage is configured to be repetitively charged using energy from the energy supply for periods of a first duration at a first power level, and to repetitively provide energy to the electronics for periods of a second duration at a second power level, wherein the first duration is longer than the second duration and the first power level is less than the second power level; and

the rechargeable ultracapacitor is configured to have a leakage current of less than 1 Ampere per liter and a maximum rated operating voltage of at least 0.5 Volts.

2. The distributed logging system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of logging instruments is permanently installed within the well.

3. The distributed logging system of claim 1 , wherein the electronics are configured to operate during selected time periods.

4. The distributed logging system of claim 3 , wherein the electronics are configured to transmit data through a cable configured to charge the rechargeable energy storage from a remote power source.

5. The distributed logging system of claim 3 , wherein the rechargeable energy storage is trickle charged during a first time period and wherein the electronics are configured to operate using power from the rechargeable energy storage during a second time period that is shorter than the first time period.

6. The distributed logging system of claim 3 , wherein the rechargeable ultracapacitor has an operating range of 80° C. to 210° C.

7. The distributed logging system of claim 3 , wherein:

the electronics comprise logging electronics configured to perform a logging operation;

the rechargeable energy storage is configured to supply power to the logging electronics; and

at least one of the plurality of logging instruments comprises an annular housing configured for mounting of the logging electronics and the rechargeable energy storage and configured to accommodate flow through the logging instrument.

8. The distributed logging system of claim 7 , wherein the annular housing forms a portion of a production tubing of a wellbore.

9. A logging system configured to be permanently installed at a downhole location, the logging system comprising:

a logging instrument comprising a rechargeable energy storage and electronics;

wherein the rechargeable energy storage comprises at least one rechargeable ultracapacitor coupled to an energy supply permanently installed at a downhole location; wherein the rechargeable energy storage comprises rechargeable energy storage media that is formed of carbon nanotubes; and

wherein the rechargeable energy storage is configured to be repetitively charged using energy from the energy supply for periods of a first duration at a first power level, and to repetitively provide energy to the electronics for periods of a second duration at a second power level, wherein the first duration is longer than the second duration and the first power level is less than the second power level.

10. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein the rechargeable energy storage comprises one of ultracapacitors, batteries, electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, ceramic capacitors, metal film capacitors and hybrid capacitors.

11. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein the rechargeable energy storage comprises one of magnetic energy storage, mechanical energy storage devices, thermal capacity systems, hydraulic or pneumatic systems.

12. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein the rechargeable energy storage comprises one of inductors, fly wheels, spring systems, spring-mass systems, mass systems.

13. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein the electronics are configured to operate during selected time periods.

14. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein the electronics are configured to transmit data through a cable configured to charge the rechargeable energy storage from a remote power source.

15. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein the rechargeable energy storage is trickle charged during a first time period and wherein the electronics are configured to operate using power from the rechargeable energy storage during a second time period that is shorter than the first time period.

16. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein the rechargeable ultracapacitor has an operating range of 80° C. to 210° C.

17. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein the logging instrument is configured for operation in a wellbore and wherein a cable configured to charge the rechargeable energy storage from a remote power source is configured to trickle charge the rechargeable energy storage from the remote power source located external to the wellbore.

18. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein a cable configured to charge the rechargeable energy storage from a remote power source at least in part mechanically supports the logging instrument.

19. A logging system as defined in claim 9 , wherein a cable configured to charge the rechargeable energy storage from a remote power source comprises at least one steel conductor.

20. A logging system as defined in claim 19 , wherein the cable comprises twisted pair conductors.
