Abstract
A wellbore system is disclosed. The wellbore system includes a coil in the wellbore, a magnetic element conveyed from a surface location that is configured to oscillate or rotate in an opening in the coil to generate electrical energy, and a device in the wellbore that utilizes the generated electrical energy.
Claims18
A wellbore system, comprising:
- a housing that is secured within a casing in the wellbore via at least one slip;
- an inductive coil in the housing;
- a magnetic element conveyed from a surface location to a location of the inductive coil by a conveying member and is selectively movable in the inductive coil by a motion provided by the conveying member to generate electrical energy;
- and
- a device in the housing that utilizes the generated electrical energy.
