Identifying a component used in a well operation using a leaky coaxial antenna

A system for identifying and determining wear of a component used in a well operation, the system comprising:

• a memory having computer readable instructions;
• and
• a processing device for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions comprising:
• reading, by a processing system, an electronic identifier connected to a component used in the well operation via the leaky coaxial antenna to obtain a unique identifier, wherein the electronic identifier comprises the unique identifier;
• identifying, by the processing system, the component from a plurality of components by comparing the unique identifier to a plurality of unique identifiers stored in a data store;
• measuring, by a density sensor in fluid communication with the component used in the well operation, a volume of sand flowing through the component over a period of time;
• measuring, by a flow sensor in fluid communication with the component used in the well operation, a volume of fluid flowing through the component over the period of time;
• storing, by the processing system, the volume of sand and volume of water flowing through the component over the period of time as usage data in the data store for the identified component;
• and
• determining, by the processing system, a failure risk level for the component based at least in part on the stored usage data for the identified component,
• wherein the leaky coaxial antenna comprises a plurality of radiating regions and a plurality of non-radiating regions.
