Patent ID: 8863836

Claim:
A method for acquiring and transmitting log data, said method comprising the steps of: a) deploying a workstring in a cased wellbore, wherein said workstring comprises one or more cleaning means operable for cleaning out said cased wellbore, the workstring further comprising a sacrificial bottom hole assembly (BHA) being configured to be releasable from the workstring, wherein said workstring further comprises one or more logging tools affixed at least partially upon the interior of the workstring and separated from the BHA by a deployment/disengagement means, the one or more logging tools being adapted for deployment from the workstring; b) using the one or more cleaning means to clean out an interior portion of the cased wellbore; c) activating the deployment/disengagement means to release the BHA; d) deploying one or more logging tools from the workstring, and then using the one or more logging tools to obtain information/data about the integrity of the cased wellbore while the logging tool is deployed and located beneath the workstring; e) transmitting the information/data to the surface in real time by way of an infinite communication system, the infinite communication system being operable for wireless transmission of the information/data; f) extracting the workstring from the cased wellbore; and wherein logging data on the integrity of the cased wellbore is acquired in a concurrent wellbore trip with cased wellbore cleanout operations, thereby obviating the necessity to log the cased wellbore in a subsequent step after the workstring has been extracted from the cased wellbore.
