Digital tracer for well behavior identification

A method for a well, the method comprising:

• connecting a flow line having an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface to the well;
• disposing a turbine within a conduit of the flow line, wherein the conduit is delineated by the inner circumferential surface of the flow line;
• connecting an energy generator to the turbine via a connector and a chip to the energy generator,
• wherein the connector passes through a wall of the flow line;
• and
• sending a signal from the chip to a receiver by converting kinetic energy of a flow of fluid through the conduit to rotational movement of the turbine and converting the rotational movement to electrical energy using the energy generator, wherein the signal indicates an operational status of the well,
• wherein the operational status indicates whether the well is operational or non-operational,
• wherein, in response to the well being operational, the chip is powered by the electrical energy converted from the turbine as the fluid flows through the conduit, where the powered chip indicates the operational status is operational, and
• wherein in response to the well being non-operational, the chip is not powered by the turbine, where the non-powered chip indicates the operational status is non-operational.

A pipeline system comprising:

• a plurality of wells spaced apart about a geographical location, each well of the plurality of wells comprising:
• a unique identification binary digital code;
• a flow line having an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface and connected to the well;
• a conduit delineated by the inner circumferential surface of the flow line;
• a turbine disposed in the conduit of the flow line and configured to convert kinetic energy of a fluid, flowing from the well through the conduit, to rotational movement;
• an energy generator connected to the turbine via a connector and configured to convert the rotational movement to electrical energy,
• wherein the connector passes through a wall of the flow line;
• and
• a chip connected to the energy generator and configured to use the electrical energy created by the energy generator to send a signal indicating an operational status of the well to a receiver,
• wherein the operational status indicates whether the well is operational or non-operational,
• wherein, in response to the well being operational, the turbine is rotated by fluid flowing through the conduit and the chip is powered by the electrical energy converted from the turbine as the fluid flows through the conduit, where the powered chip indicates the operational status is operational,
• wherein, in response to the well being non-operational, fluid does not flow through the conduit, the turbine is stationary, and the chip is not powered by the turbine, where the non-powered chip indicates the operational status is non-operational.
