Abstract:

Apparatus and methods to investigate a multiple nested conductive pipe structure can be implemented in a variety of applications. A pipe characterization tool obtains first measurements of multiple nested conductive pipes at a first time subsequent to placement of at least one of the multiple nested conductive pipes in a wellbore, and at a second time subsequent to the first time. Processing circuitry calculates a thickness change of the multiple nested conductive pipes between the first time and the second time and predicts future thickness based on this thickness change. Well treatment decisions can be made based on predicted future thickness. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
