... Abstract Tubing integrity in artificially lifted wells declines over time, primarily due to corrosion and wear. Corrosion may occur internally or externally on the tubing; wear caused by the movement of sucker rods will occur internally. It is difficult to visually inspect the inner surface...

... it came out of the well, allowing the inspection of solid deposits, elastomers and debris. At the workshop, the valve is opened and thoroughly examined, debris and solids are collected and, if relevant, chemically analyzed to lay down the root causes of the failure. The results point to different causes...

... include the volume, shape, and size of the drilled cuttings and cavings. The drilling team can then combine this information with the current practice of visual inspection to improve drilling performance. Such data is obtained by first capturing images of enough quality to allow image classification...

Acoustic technology relies on direct measurement principles and results are not inferred through calibration. The time-of-flight-based approach enables the inspection a single casing string comprising...

The use of sand production records to decide when inspection or replacement of choke valves is required is subjective and the potential to overestimate or underestimate choke wear is high since...
