Patent ID: 10317331

Abstract:
Systems and methods for detection of pipe characteristics, such as defect detection of downhole tubulars and overall thickness estimation of downhole tubulars (e.g., pipes such as casing and/or production tubing). A defect detection method may comprise disposing a defect detection tool in a wellbore, wherein the defect detection tool comprises at least one transmitter and at least one receiver; obtaining nominal parameters of pipe properties; determining nominal responses corresponding to the nominal parameters; determining a defect profile for a plurality of pipes disposed in a wellbore; determining defected responses for the defection detection tool from at least the nominal parameters and the defect profile; calculating a gradient from at least the defected responses, the nominal responses, the nominal parameters and the defect profile; making downhole measurements of the plurality of pipes using the defect detection tool; and calculating final solution parameters of the plurality of pipes using at least the downhole measurements, the nominal responses, the gradient and the nominal parameters.
