Abstract
A suspended fluid sampling and monitoring system includes a BOP, the BOP attached to a wellhead. The BOP is positioned above a wellbore. The suspended fluid sampling and monitoring system further includes a TEC, the TEC connected to a sensor package. The TEC and sensor package extend through the BOP into the wellbore. The suspended fluid sampling and monitoring system also includes a fluid sample line, the fluid sample line extending through the BOP into the wellbore. The suspended fluid sampling and monitoring system also includes a fluid sample intake and filtration device, the fluid sample intake and filtration device mechanically coupled to the fluid sample line within the wellbore.
Claims19
A suspended fluid sampling and monitoring system comprising:
- a tubing encapsulated cable (“TEC”), the TEC connected to a sensor package, the TEC and the sensor package extending into a wellbore;
- a fluid sample line, the fluid sample line extending into the wellbore;
- and
- a fluid sample intake and filtration device, the fluid sample intake and filtration device mechanically coupled to the fluid sample line within the wellbore, wherein the fluid sample intake and filtration device comprises:
- a fluid intake hydraulic conduit, the fluid intake hydraulic conduit adapted to terminate the fluid sample line;
- a hydraulic conduit wall, the hydraulic conduit wall having perforations;
- and
- an electrical conduit, the electrical conduit adapted to pass through the TEC.
A suspended fluid sampling and monitoring system comprising:
- a blowout preventer (“BOP”), the BOP attached to a wellhead, the BOP positioned above a wellbore;
- a tubing encapsulated cable (“TEC”), the TEC connected to a sensor package, the TEC extending through the BOP into the wellbore, the TEC having a free end located outside the wellbore;
- a fluid sample line, the fluid sample line extending through the BOP into the wellbore, the fluid sample line having a free end located outside the wellbore, the fluid sample line terminating in a fluid sample intake and filtration device;
- a hydraulic wellhead outlet (“HWO”), the HWO mechanically connected to the fluid sample line, wherein the HWO comprises:
- a pressure-blocked feedthrough assembly;
- a feedthrough connector, the feedthrough connector mechanically coupled to the pressure-block feedthrough assembly;
- a sample release valve, the sample release valve mechanically coupled to the feedthrough connector;
- and
- a quick connect fitting, the quick connect fitting mechanically coupled to an isolation valve;
- and
- an electrical wellhead outlet (“EWO”), the EWO mechanically connecting the TEC to a surface electrical cable.
