Abstract
A method of evaluating a stress state of a wellbore isolation barrier with an evaluation application receiving a data set, obtained from wellbore sensors, from a remote data source by one or more communication methods. The data set comprises periodic wellbore data indicative of the stress state of the wellbore isolation barrier. The evaluation application may determine a modeled stress state of the wellbore isolation barrier by evaluating a data set consisting of the received data. The evaluation application may generate an alert if the model stress state exceeds a user threshold.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- gathering data regarding a status or condition of a barrier disposed within an annulus formed by a conduit disposed within a subterranean well;
- electronically transmitting the data via a communication network to a location remote from the well or electronically receiving the data via a communication network at a location remote from the well;
- and
- analyzing, at the location remote from the wellbore or another location remote from the wellbore, the data to determine a condition of the barrier.
