A distributed downhole sensor system for a well includes a sensor array comprising. The sensor array includes a plurality of sensors and cable segments. Each sensor is associated with a unique digital address and locatable downhole to capture sensor data simultaneously and output the simultaneously captured sensor data under a first control condition, and a single sensor of the plurality of sensors is configured to capture sensor data independently and output the independently captured sensor data under a second control condition. The cable segments couple the sensors in a line or an array to deliver power to the sensors and provide a communication channel to and from the sensors.

Distributed sensor systems and methods

A downhole control method for use in a wellbore that includes deploying a first stand-alone hydraulic reservoir downhole; measuring a first downhole fluid parameter; and actuating a first inflow control device, based on the first measured downhole fluid parameter, using the first stand-alone hydraulic reservoir. In one aspect, the first stand-alone hydraulic reservoir and the first inflow control device comprise an open-hole completion system.

Casing-based intelligent completion assembly

A downhole control method for use in a wellbore that includes deploying a stand-alone power source and a stand-alone hydraulic reservoir downhole; powering a downhole controller using the stand-alone power source; measuring a downhole fluid parameter; and actuating an inflow control device, using the stand-alone hydraulic reservoir and the downhole controller, based on the measured downhole fluid parameter. In one aspect, the stand-alone power source is selected from the group consisting of a battery and a downhole power generator. In another aspect, the stand-alone hydraulic reservoir, the downhole controller, the stand-alone power source, and the inflow control device comprise a remotely-powered, open-hole completion system.

Remotely-powered casing-based intelligent completion assembly

A portion is sectioned from an outer jacket of a cable. The sectioned portion exposes an insulator layer within the outer jacket. The cable includes a conduit within the insulator layer. The insulator layer in the sectioned portion is pierced with a terminal to contact the conduit. A transducer is connected to the terminal. The housing is sealed to the cable around the transducer and the terminal.
