Abstract:

A riser joint system, comprising: a riser joint assembly defining a channel and comprising a first ultrasound module for transmitting a first ultrasound signal to obtain first ultrasound data and a second ultrasound module for transmitting a second ultrasound signal to obtain second ultrasound data, wherein a beam direction of the first ultrasound signal is perpendicular to an axial line of the channel and a beam direction of the second ultrasound signal is oblique to the axial line of the channel; and a processing module for receiving the first ultrasound data and the second ultrasound data and obtaining first information and second information. A well drilling system and a method for the well drilling system are also described.

Abstract:

A sensor system for a sub-sea oil and gas well includes a casing, a transmit coil, a receive coil, and a processor. The casing defines an interior space through which a drilling pipe string transits. The transmit coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to conduct a current pulse and induce an electromagnetic field within the interior space. The electromagnetic field corresponds with the current pulse and interacts with the drilling pipe string. The receive coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to detect the electromagnetic field, including perturbations of the electromagnetic field due to the drilling pipe string's interaction therewith. The processor is coupled to the transmit coil and the receive coil. The processor is configured to compute a diameter of the drilling pipe string based on the current pulse and the electromagnetic field detected by the receive coil.
