Abstract
Restriction systems are methods of tracking downhole devices as they are displaced in tubulars are provided. An example restriction system comprises a tubular comprising at least one series of restrictions disposed on an interior surface of the interior of the tubular; a pressure sensor configured to measure the tubular pressure; and a downhole device capable of traversing the series of restrictions. An example method comprises providing a tubular comprising at least one series of restrictions disposed on an interior surface of the interior of the tubular, and a pressure sensor disposed on an interior surface of the interior of the tubular. The example method further comprises introducing a downhole device into the tubular and measuring the pressure within the tubular as the downhole device traverses the at least one series of restrictions.
