US 2026/0210234 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTIPLE MECHANICAL CALIPER MEASUREMENTS

Abstract

Systems and methods disclosed herein are generally directed to an interpretation system that may receive measurements from multi-finger caliper tools and output various properties of a wellbore based on the measurements and/or models (e.g., computer models having algorithms) associated with the multi-finger caliper tools. For example, the interpretation system may generate and output defect maps (e.g., maps of defects according to axial position and circumferential position) based on an interpretation of the measurements. In another example, the interpretation system may determine a state of the wellbore based on the interpretation. If the state is clear, then the interpretation system may instruct one or more components of the hydrocarbon well site to initiate production operations. If the state is not clear (e.g., corrosion), then the interpretation system may identify an interval of interest within the wellbore and/or perform a corrective action at the interval of interest.
