Abstract
An indicator including a body configured to be run within a tubular from a first portion to a second portion of the tubular. A sensor disposed at the body configured to detect when a tool run through the tubular has reached the body. A signal generator configured to send notification that the tool has reached the body; and a plunger configured to cause the signal generator to send notification upon being urged relative to the body. A method of verifying a tool.
Claims25
An indicator comprising:
- a body configured to be run within a tubular from a first portion to a second portion of the tubular;
- a sensor disposed at the body configured to detect when a tool run through the tubular has reached the body;
- a signal generator configured to send notification that the tool has reached the body;
- and
- a plunger configured to cause the signal generator to send notification upon being urged relative to the body.
An indicator comprising:
- a body configured to be run through a tubular from a first portion to a second portion of the tubular;
- a sensor disposed at the body configured to detect when a tool run through the tubular has reached the body;
- and
- a signal generator being configured to send notification that the tool has reached the body, wherein the signal generator is configured to emit a substance stored therewithin.
An indicator comprising:
- a body configured to be run through a tubular from a first portion to a second portion of the tubular;
- a sensor disposed at the body configured to detect when a tool run through the tubular has reached the body;
- and
- a signal generator being configured to send notification that the tool has reached the body, wherein the body is the sensor and is configured to sense that the tool has reached the body by rupturing of the body.
A method of verifying a tool has reached a second portion of a tubular comprising:
- running an indicator through the tubular from a first portion to a second portion thereof;
- running a tool through the tubular to the indicator;
- sensing that the tool has reached the indicator;
- and
- sending notification from the indicator that the tool has reached the indicator, wherein the sensing includes compressing a plunger.
An indicator comprising:
- a body configured to be run within a drill string from a first portion to a second portion of the drill string;
- a sensor disposed on the body and run through the drill string with the body configured to detect when a tool run through the drill string has reached the body;
- a signal generator on the body and run through the drill string with the body configured to send notification that the tool has reached the body.
