Remote-controlled gravel pack crossover tool utilizing wired drillpipe communication and telemetry

Abstract

A downhole system employing a crossover tool includes an actuator in operable communication with the crossover tool; a controller in operable communication with the actuator; a wired pipe in operable communication with the controller; and a control device in operable communication with the wired pipe and method.

1 . A downhole system employing a crossover tool comprising:
 an actuator in operable communication with the crossover tool;   a controller in operable communication with the actuator;   a wired pipe in operable communication with the controller; and   a control device in operable communication with the wired pipe.   
   
   
       2 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a sensor in operable communication with the crossover tool and configured to monitor a valve position of the crossover tool. 
   
   
       3 . The system as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the controller is in operable communication with the sensor and is capable of transmitting a signal received from the sensor to a remote location. 
   
   
       4 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the controller includes a downhole control unit and a microprocessor. 
   
   
       5 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the actuator is in operable communication with a power source. 
   
   
       6 . The system as claimed in  claim 5  wherein the power source is a downhole power source. 
   
   
       7 . The system as claimed in  claim 5  wherein the power source is an electrochemical source. 
   
   
       8 . The system as claimed in  claim 5  wherein the power source is a generator. 
   
   
       9 . The system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the control device includes a transmitter/receiver in operable communication with the wired pipe to transmit and receive signals therefrom. 
   
   
       10 . A method for operating a crossover tool in a downhole environment comprising:
 sending a command signal from a control device through a wired pipe to a controller in operable communication with the crossover tool; and   activating an actuator in operable communication with the crossover tool; and   actuating the crossover tool with the actuator to a desired position of the crossover tool.   
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising:
 monitoring a position of the crossover tool with a sensor.   
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising:
 communicating the position of the crossover tool valve with the wired pipe to the control device.
