Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the use of polyaryletherketone-based thermoplastic materials in high pressure, high temperature, production logging applications. A polyaryletherketone resin bonded with glass fibers is formed into a housing for formation evaluation sensors permanently located downhole. The housing is constructed by any of the following processes: filament winding, fiber placement, or compression molding or injection molding. When used in a production well, the housing encloses the formation evaluation sensors and protects the sensors from borehole fluids. Housing properties can be modified with changes in materials added to the resin in order for the housing to function as casing or coiled tubing. This would allow wireline or logging-while-drilling conveyed sensors passing through the casing or coiled tubing to sense the formation and borehole fluid properties.
