An apparatus and method of embedding an optical fiber within a substrate. The apparatus includes a bonding device and a conveyance device. The bonding device bonds a foil layer to the substrate to seal the optical fiber within a groove of the substrate. The conveyance device moves the substrate and the bonding device relative to each other. Relative motion between the substrate and the bonding device draws the optical fiber into the groove and the foil layer over the optical fiber at a collection point.

A communication system is included in a work string. The communication system includes a communication cable and a crimp sleeve. The communication cable has a housing with a communication line and a metal tube therein, a free line end of the communication line and a free tube end of the metal tube extending from an open end of the housing. The crimp sleeve includes a first sleeve section having a first inner diameter configured to receive the open end of the housing, a second sleeve section having a second inner diameter configured to receive the free tube end of the metal tube, and an opening configured to allow the free line end of the communication line to pass out of the crimp sleeve.

Hybrid cable crimp

A cable core including a body, a recess in the body, and a protrusion extending radially outwardly from the body and along the recess. A cladding disposed radially outwardly of the core is used to create a cable.

Conductor cable and method

An embodiment of a method of manufacturing a fiber optic cable includes selecting a cable support structure configured to support an optical fiber sensor, adhering the optical fiber sensor to the cable support structure by applying a temporary adhesive, and installing a protective layer around the cable support structure and the temporarily adhered optical fiber sensor. The method further includes removing a bond between the optical fiber sensor and the temporary adhesive, wherein removing the bond includes injecting a debonding material into a space formed between the cable support structure and the protective layer, and injecting a permanent adhesive into the space, the permanent adhesive configured to immobilize the optical fiber sensor relative to the protective layer and allow strain to be transferred from the protective layer to the optical fiber sensor.

Strain locked fiber optic cable and methods of manufacture

A fiber optic cable arrangement includes a core, a sheath surrounding the core and being strain locked to the core, and at least one optical fiber positioned within the sheath being strain locked to the core.

A modular cart that includes a main cart, a first modular cart frame, and a second modular cart frame is described. The main cart further includes a handle end with a first base component that is mechanically coupled to at least one caster. The main cart also includes a first bar disposed on a distal end of the first base component that extends to a second base component, in which the first bar is orthogonal to the second base component and the first base component. A first bay perimeter is bounded by the first base component, the first bar and the second base component. The main cart further includes a second bay perimeter is bounded by a second base component, a second bar and a third base component.

The position of a movable downhole component such as a sleeve in a choke valve is monitored and determined using an array of sensors, preferably Hall Effect sensors that measure the strength of a magnetic field from a magnet that travels with the sleeve. The sensors measure the field strength and output a voltage related to the strength of the field that is detected. A plurality of sensors, with readings, transmits signals to a microprocessor to compute the magnet position directly. The sensors are in the tool body and are not mechanically coupled to the sleeve. The longitudinal position of the sleeve is directly computed using less than all available sensors to facilitate the speed of transmission of data and computation of actual position using known mathematical techniques.

An insert meter can be run into an inverse venturi on wireline and make use of the existing pressure taps to allow accurate measurement of reduced flow rates that could not be accurately measured with the inverse venturi meter. The insert meter has seals and can lock into position with peripheral sealing to direct the new and lower flow rate into the throat of the insert meter that is preferably a standard venturi. The venturi devices can be in meter or eductor service and located downhole, subsea or on the surface.

Inverse venturi meter with insert capability

An annular choke mechanism is incorporated into a flow path within the outer housing of the sleeve valve to the interior flow ports of the sliding sleeve member. As the sliding sleeve member is moved axially within the housing, the lateral fluid ports of the sliding sleeve member are aligned within particular bore portions so that the size of the annular space between the fluid ports in the housing and the fluid ports in the sleeve is varied. The annular flow area through the annular space governs the rate of fluid flow through the valve.
