Abstract

A tubular system includes a side pocket mandrel having at least one side pocket defining a device storage zone. A conductor extends along the tubular system to the side pocket. A stored device is arranged in the device storage zone.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A tubular system comprising:
a side pocket mandrel including at least one side pocket defining a device storage zone; a conductor extending along the tubular system to the side pocket; and a stored device arranged in the device storage zone.

2 . The tubular system according to claim 1 , wherein the stored device is electrically connected to the conductor.

3 . The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the conductor provides communication and power to the device storage zone.

4 . The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the stored device comprises an electrical storage device.

5 . The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the stored device comprises a sensor.

6 . The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the stored device comprises a tool.

7 . The tubular system according to claim 6 , wherein the tool includes a manipulator.

8 . The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the stored device comprises one of an energy harvesting and an energy generating device.

9 . The tubular system according to claim 1 further comprising: an address member arranged at the side pocket, the address member identifying the device storage zone.

10 . The tubular system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one pocket includes a first pocket and a second pocket, the first pocket including a first device storage zone and the second pocket including a second device storage zone.

11 . The tubular system according to claim 10 , wherein the stored device is arranged in the first storage zone and another stored device is arranged in the second device storage zone.

12 . The tubular system according to claim 11 , wherein the first stored device forms a first part of a system and the another stored device forms another part of the system.

13 . The tubular system according to claim 12 , wherein the stored device comprises one of a valve motor and a valve choke and the another stored device comprises one of a valve communication device and a sensor associated with the valve.
