Abstract

A system for communicating downhole measurements may comprise a remote wireline system connected to a wellhead. The remote wirelines system may further comprise a base support, a spool frame attached to the base support, a spool attached to the spool frame and a conveyance attached to the spool, an acoustic receiver node attached at a second end of the conveyance, a control box attached to the base support and connected to the spool, and a communication device disposed in the control box. A method for communicating downhole measurements may comprise attaching a remote wireline system to a wellhead, lowering the acoustic receiver node through one or more production tubing sections to a heel of a wellbore, communicating with one or more nodes, and transmitting one or more data packets uphole from the one or more nodes to the acoustic receiver node.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for communicating downhole measurements comprising:
 a remote wireline system comprising:
 a base support; 
 a spool frame attached to the base support; 
 a spool attached to the spool frame and a conveyance attached to the spool at a first end and wound around the spool; 
 an acoustic receiver node attached at a second end of the conveyance opposite the first end of the conveyance; 
 a control box attached to the base support and connected to the spool; and 
 a communication device disposed in the control box; and 
   a wellhead, wherein the conveyance is configured to lower the acoustic receiver node into one or more production tubing sections through the wellhead.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more nodes disposed on the casing. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more nodes are configured to communicate with each other and the acoustic receiver node. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more nodes are configured to measure fluid flow within the one or more production tubing sections. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the acoustic receiver node is communicatively coupled to the communication device. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the communication device is configured to communicate with an offsite location. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the base support is configured to connect the remote wireline system to the wellhead through one or more connection devices. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the base support is configured to connect the remote wireline system to a surface through one or more connection devices. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more quick connects that are configured to connect the remote wireline system to a power source, hydraulic fluid, or a data connection through one or more connection ports disposed on the control box. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the power source, the hydraulic fluid, or the data connection is disposed on a vehicle or a skid. 
     
     
         11 . A method for communicating downhole measurements comprising:
 attaching a remote wireline system to a wellhead, wherein the remote wireline system comprises:
 a base support that is configured to connect the remote wireline system to the wellhead; 
 a spool frame attached to the base support and a spool attached to the spool frame and a power source, wherein the power source is configured to power the spool; 
 a conveyance attached to the spool at a first end and wound around the spool; 
 an acoustic receiver node attached at a second end of the conveyance opposite the first end of the conveyance; 
 a control box attached to the base support and connected to the spool; and 
 a communication device disposed in the control box; and 
   lowering the acoustic receiver node through one or more production tubing sections to a heel of a wellbore;   communicating with one or more nodes disposed in the one or more production tubing section with the acoustic receiver node; and   transmitting one or more data packets uphole from the one or more nodes to the acoustic receiver node.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising measuring fluid flow within the one or more production tubing sections to form the data packets. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising transmitting the data packets to an offsite location. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the remote wireline system further comprises one or more quick connects. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising connecting the remote wireline system to the power source, hydraulic fluid, or a data connection through the one or more quick connects through one or more connection ports disposed on the control box. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the power source, the hydraulic fluid, or the data connection is disposed on a vehicle or skid. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising activating the remote wireline system wireless with a remote that is wirelessly communicating with the communication device. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising locking the remote wireline system wireless with the remote, wherein the remote activates a lock bar connected to the spool frame and the spool. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising removing the remote wireline system from the wellhead. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the conveyance comprises a fiber optic cable.
