Abstract

A system includes an equipment platform, an electro-magnetic defectoscopy tool, a signal emitter, a signal receiver, and a computer processor. The equipment platform is formed in a ring-like shape having an orifice of a size large enough to fit a circumference of the wellhead or the casing string within the orifice. The electro-magnetic defectoscopy tool is mounted to the equipment platform. The signal emitter is located in the electro-magnetic defectoscopy tool and is configured to emit a signal towards the orifice of the equipment platform. The signal receiver is located in the electro-magnetic defectoscopy tool and is configured to receive a reflected signal from the wellhead or the casing string. The computer processor is electronically connected to the signal receiver and is configured to receive and use the reflected signal to determine a condition of the wellhead or the casing string.
