Abstract

A method and system for determining information about a wellbore with coiled tubing. A downhole device may be positioned within coiled tubing and run down the wellbore to determine diagnostic information about a location with the wellbore. The downhole device may store diagnostic information in a storage device that may be analyzed when the device is returned to the surface. A downhole device may be connected to the end of a string of coiled tubing that includes a diagnostic device and memory sealed in a chamber. A flow path past the chamber is in communication with the coiled tubing string permitting the flow of fluid past the chamber. A downhole device including a diagnostic device may be connected to a recess in an exterior of a coiled tubing string.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of determining information about the production from a zone of a wellbore comprising:
running a downhole device into a wellbore, the downhole device comprising an electronic device positioned inside of a housing within an interior of coiled tubing;
positioning the downhole device adjacent a first zone of the wellbore;
determining diagnostic information of the first zone of the wellbore while the electronic device is positioned entirely inside the housing within the interior of coiled tubing ; and
storing the determined diagnostic information of the first zone in a memory device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising connecting the housing to the interior of coiled tubing.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising pumping fluid down the interior of the coiled tubing past the downhole device while determining diagnostic information of the first zone.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
positioning the downhole device adjacent a second zone of the wellbore;
determining diagnostic information of the second zone of the wellbore; and
storing the determined diagnostic information of the second zone in the memory device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device of the downhole device comprises a logging tool.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising pulling the downhole device out of the wellbore and analyzing the diagnostic information of the first zone stored in the memory device.

7. A system to monitor a zone of a wellbore comprising:
a string of coiled tubing;
a housing having a first end and a second end, the housing being closed at the first end and being closed at the second end at least one of the first end and second end being selectively closed to permit access into the housing;
an electronic device positioned within the housing, the electronic device configured to obtain diagnostic information of a wellbore; and
the housing being connected to a portion of an interior of the string of coiled tubing with a flow path between the housing and the interior of the string of coiled tubing, the electronic device configured to obtain the diagnostic information of the wellbore while within the housing within the interior of the string of coiled tubing.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the electronic device is a logging tool.

9. The system of claim 7 , further comprising a memory storage device connected to the electronic device.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the housing is welded to the interior of the string of coiled tubing.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the housing is positioned between an end of the string of coiled tubing and a location ten feet from the end of the string of coiled tubing along the string of coiled tubing.
