Systems and Methods for Data Acquisition From Outside a Well Casing

Abstract

Subsurface instrumentation of newly created wellbores will enable enhanced long-term wellbore integrity monitoring, improved induced seismicity measurements, deep flow control applications, novel scientific evaluation tools, carbon sequestration monitoring, and many national security applications. The system minimizes interruption or change of practice to existing borehole completions techniques. The systems and methods utilize an instrumented casing collar and/or centralizer approach.
