Abstract

A well integrity joint including a body, and at least two components of a sensory system, disposed on the joint such that the at least components of a sensory system are connectible by a straight line that does not intersect the body.

Claims (16)

What is claimed is:
1. A well integrity j oint ( 10) characterized by : a body; and at least two components of a sensory system, disposed on the joint such that the at least components of a sensory system are connectible by a straight line that does not intersect the body.
2. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 1 further characterized by: at least two supports (16) on or as a part of the pipe joint (10), the at least two supports (16) extending radially outwardly of the body (12), one of the at least two components (14) of a sensory system being disposed on one of the at least two supports (16).
3. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 2 wherein the straight line (15) does not intersect any of the at least two supports (16).
4. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 1 wherein the at least two components (14) of a sensory system are transducers.
5. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 1 wherein the at least two components (14) of a sensory system are a transducer and a reflector.
6. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 1 wherein the at least two components (14) of a sensory system are active acoustic components.
7. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 6 wherein the at least two components (14) of a sensory system are ultrasonic components.
8. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 6 wherein the at least two components (14) of a sensory system are cement bond log components.
9. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 1 wherein the at least two components (14) of a sensory system are passive acoustic components.
10. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 1 wherein the at least two components (14) of a sensory system are arranged angularly relative to one another wherein the angular range is from greater than zero degrees apart to less than 180 degrees apart.
11. The joint (10) as claimed in claim 1 further characterized by : a temperature sensor (18) disposed on or as a part of the casing body (12).
12. A method for monitoring well cement (38) characterized by; propagating a signal between the at least two components (14) of a sensory system as claimed in claim 1.
13. The method as claimed in claim 12 wherein the signal is propagated through cement (38) disposed between the at least two components (14) of a sensory system.
14. The method as claimed in claim 12 wherein the signal is continuous over time.
15. A method for operating a wellbore system (30) characterized by: disposing one or more well integrity joints (10) as claimed in claim 1 in a borehole (32); and monitoring integrity of the borehole (32) over time using the one or more well integrity joints (10).
16. A wellbore system (30) characterized by: a borehole (32) in a subsurface formation (34); and a casing string (36) in the borehole (32), the casing string (36) including a well integrity joint (10) as claimed in claim 1.
