Abstract

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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A resource recovery system comprising:
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;
a connection configuration having a device connection interface configured to connect with the device to facilitate sensory activity or control activity of the device with a fluid flowing in an interior of a tubular member of the resource recovery system; and
a backing, securable to the connection configuration to produce an interference fit with the tubular member of the resource recovery system.

2. A method for instrumenting a target environment comprising:
running the resource recovery system as claimed in claim 1 into a target environment.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the running includes running through intermediate equipment.

4. A method for deployment of the resource recovery system as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:
spooling out the conductor having a number of the devices disposed thereon; and
installing a device anchor/access point where the number of devices land on a portion of a string as dictated by a length of conductor between each device.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , further including marking a location of the number of devices on the portion of the string.

6. The method as claimed in claim 4 , further including connecting the device to the device anchor/access point.

7. The method as claimed in claim 4 further including opening a port in the portion of the string through the device anchor/access point to an interior of the portion of the string.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein the opening is by drilling or milling.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein the opening is chemical action.

10. The method as claimed in claim 4 where the number of devices is a plurality of devices and spooling includes marking a landing site for each of the plurality of devices on the portion of the string, the marking serving as a target for the installing of the device anchor/access point.

11. The method as claimed in claim 4 , further including securing the conductor in a conductor holder of the device anchor/access point.
