Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A flexible device including a plurality of subassemblies, a connector depending from each of the subassemblies, a link connected to the connectors supplying a signal connection between the subassemblies. A resource recovery system including a spoolable conductor including a device disposed in line with the conductor, the device including a plurality of subassemblies, a connector depending from each of the subassemblies, a link connected to the connectors supplying a signal connection between the subassemblies.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A flexible device conductor comprising: a plurality of functional devices, each formed by a plurality of subassemblies having at least a function to monitor a target resource recovery well with portions of a gauge in each subassembly of the plurality of subassemblies in addition to signal conduction, the plurality of devices being spaced along a length of the conductor, each subassembly including: a connector depending from each of the subassemblies of a functional device of the plurality of functional devices; a flexible link connected to the connectors of the functional device of the plurality of functional devices supplying a signal connection between the subassemblies of the functional device of the plurality of functional devices. 2. The device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a strength member extending between the subassemblies of the functional device of the plurality of functional devices. 3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a boot extending between the subassemblies of the functional device of the plurality of functional devices. 4. The device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the boot is overmolded rubber. 5. The device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the boot is overmolded rubber reinforced with a strength member. 6. The device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the boot extends to cover the subassemblies except for conductor terminations of the subassemblies. 7. A method for instrumenting a target environment comprising: disposing one or more devices as claimed in claim 1 to create a conductor; running the conductor into a target environment. 8. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein the running includes running through intermediate equipment. 9. A spoolable conductor including; a device formed by a plurality of subassemblies each having portions of a gauge therein, the device having at least a function to gauge a target wellbore environment in b addition to signal conduction, the device being disposed in line with the conductor; a connector depending from each of the subassemblies of a device; a link connected to the connectors of each subassembly of the device supplying a signal connection between the subassemblies.
