In one embodiment, a wellbore servicing system such as the first wellbore stimulation system 210 disclosed for Figure 4 may be used to perform a wellbore servicing operation, and in particular, a wellbore stimulation operation, such as fracturing, perforating, waterjet operation, operation acidification, or combinations thereof. For example, the process of stimulating a well bore can generally include one or more laying steps
5 From tool nodes into the wellbore, connect a control node across the wellbore to configure one or more tool nodes for a wellbore stimulation fluid delivery, to deliver the wellbore stimulation fluid through one or more devices configured to deliver the wellbore stimulation fluid Optionally, to connect a control node (for example, the same control node or another node) across the wellbore to retrofit one or more instrument nodes configured to deliver a wellbore stimulation fluid and, optionally, repeat the one or more initialization process
10 More tool nodes, delivery of a wellbore service fluid and, optionally, retrofitting one or more tool nodes for one or more additional tool nodes.
Referring back to Figure 4, in an embodiment, one or more tool nodes, such as tool nodes 212, may be placed inside a wellbore, such as a wellbore 114. For example, in the embodiment in Figure 4, where tool nodes 212 are included In tube casing series
15th 190, the tool holding 212 can be extended into the borehole 114 (for example, positioned at the . position).
Preferred borehole 114) with casing chain 190.
In one embodiment, the 212a, 212b, and 212c tool nodes may be initially located inside the wellbore 114 in a first configuration in which the 212 tool nodes do not allow a fluid connection path from their axial flow hole (and from the axial flow hole 191 of the casing string 190) to the
20 The proximal and/or attendant subsurface formation 2, 4 and 6, respectively.
In an embodiment, when one or more formation regions are desired, eg, one or more formation regions 2, 4 and/or 6, the control node 214 may be connected down through wellbore 114, for example, by moving the fluid in the borehole 114 (for example, the forward rotor of the fluid). In one embodiment, when the control node 214 is connected via
25 Wellbore 114, the control node 214 is in communication by signaling to each of the node
٦٦٠٢
-٣٧-
Tools 212c, 212b, and 212a, respectively. In one embodiment, when the control node 214 communicates by signaling to each of the 212 tool nodes, the control node 214 can initiate communication (for example, via an NFC signal) with each of the 212 tool nodes. Alternatively, it can initiate Control Node 214 Communications with one or more tool nodes 212.
5 In one embodiment, once communication is achieved (for example via an NFC signal) with a given tool node 212c, 212b or 212a, the control node 214 can obtain the identity of said tool node 212. In one embodiment, depending on the identity of the tool node 212 it communicates With Control Node 214, then Control Node 214 can communicate one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) to the tool node 212. In an alternative embodiment, 10 based on the identity of the tool node 212, the control node 214 can not communicate any command to the tool node.
In an embodiment, one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) connected to a tool node 212a, 212b, or 212c may be effective in inducing a response by the 212 tool node. For example, in an embodiment, one or more commands delivered to the tool node 212 can have a specific command associated with a response 15 specified by the tool node 212, eg, a command for the tool to activate, to sleep, to increment a counter, to decrement a counter , by outputting one or more operating signals, or combinations thereof. Alternatively, in an embodiment, commands can be unrelated to any specific response, for example, in which case the tool node 212 that receives the command can output a response that is not specifically tied to the received command.
20 In one embodiment, once the tool node 212 receives a command (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) it is effective to have the tool node 212 output a trigger signal (for example, immediately after receiving a predefined NFC signal, a predefined amount of signal NFC, or a pre-defined combination of pre-set NFC signals), the electronic circuit within the gadget node 212 can cause the gadget node to output an actuation signal (for example, voltage or current), for example, to a trigger, This causes the tool node to move 212 From the first body (which does not allow

The 212 tool node has a fluid communication path from the axial flow hole from it to the nearby formation area) to a second body (in which the 212 tool node allows a fluid communication path from the axial flow hole from it to the nearby formation area). In one embodiment, the triggering of a node can include The tool also involves one or more additional steps, eg, applying fluid pressure to a hole 5 axial flow of the tool node. For example, once the tool node 212 receives a predefined NFC signal, the tool node 212 can output an actuation signal (for example, voltage or current) to an actuator. In one embodiment, the actuator can be configured to trap a fluid within a fluid chamber and then trap A slip bushing in a first position (for example, a position where it does not allow a fluid communication path from the axial flow hole from it to the proximal formation region through one or more of the 10 ports of the tool node 212). In addition, the actuator can be configured so that once an actuation signal is received, at least part of the fluid held in the fluid chamber is no longer held by the actuator, thus causing a sliding bushing to move to a second position (for example, a location where it allows a fluid contact path from the axial flow hole thereof to the proximal formation region through one or more ports of the tool node (212).
15th In an embodiment, the control node 214 may connect one or more signals (for example, one or more NFC signals, and so on) that are effective in operating one or more tool nodes 212. For example, two or more More than one tool nodes with one control node 214. Also, tool nodes 212 can be run in any convenient and preferred arrangement. For example, tool nodes 212 can run from a lower tool node (for example, tool node 212a, in 20 embodiment in Figure 4), and then a middle tool node (for example, tool node 212b, in the embodiment in Figure 4), then an overhead tool node (for example, tool node 212c, in the embodiment in Figure 4). Alternatively, tool node 212 can be run in reverse (for example, tool node 212c, then tool node 212b, then Tool knot 212a). Alternatively, tool node 212 can be run in an alternating sequence (for example, tool node 212a, then tool node 212c, then tool node 212b).

In one embodiment, when at least one of the tool nodes 212 is configured to deliver a wellbore servicing fluid (for example, a formation stimulus fluid) from its axial flow bore to the nearby formation area, the wellbore servicing fluid (for example, a fracking fluid) may be introduced , perforating fluid, waterjet fluid, and the like, or combinations thereof), in and through the axial flow hole 191 of a 5 series tubing casing 190 through one or more tool nodes, and in one or more subterranean formation zones (for example, one or more more than configuration regions 2, 4 and/or 6). The wellbore service fluid may be delivered at an appropriate rate and/or pressure, for example, at a rate and/or pressure sufficient to initiate or extend one or more fluid communication paths to or into the subterranean formation, for example, one or more of the cracks or holes.
10 In one embodiment, when a preferred amount of fluid is delivered, for example, when cracks or holes are formed as desired, the fluid delivery can be stopped. For example, once the fluid connection through one or more tool nodes 212 that is configured to allow a fluid communication path from the axial flow hole from there to the subterranean formation is stopped, the path of the fluid communication through one or more tool nodes can be stopped or blocked, for example, so that Tool node 212 will not provide a connection path
15th Fluid in the subterranean formation.
For example, in an embodiment, obstruction or blocking of the fluid communication path through one or more instrument nodes 212 configured to provide a fluid communication path from the axial flow hole from it to the subterranean formation may involve the reconfiguration of one or more instrument nodes so configured 212. For example, in one embodiment, a control node (eg 20, a second control node, similar control node 214) may be connected down through a wellbore 114 to achieve
Communicating (for example, via an NFC signal) with each 212 tool node. In an embodiment, once communication is achieved (for example, via an NFC signal) with each 212 tool node, the second control node can select the tool node A 212 tool that the second control node is connected to, for example, to deliver one or more commands (for example, a 25 data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) depending on the identity of the tool 212 node you are connecting to.

For example, the second control node can only command 212 tool nodes that are already configured to allow the path of fluid communication from the axial flow hole from it to the subterranean formation. In an embodiment, the second control node may communicate one or more commands to an active tool node to induce a response by the tool node 212. For example, in an embodiment, it could

For example, once the widget node 212 receives a predefined NFC signal, the widget node 212 can output an operating signal (for example, voltage or current) to a trigger. In one embodiment, the widget node 212 can</p>

Alternatively, in one embodiment the obstruction or obstruction of the path of fluid communication through one or more instrument nodes thus configured 212 may involve the insertion of a sealing member, such as a ball or arrow, to engage a seat and thus obstruction of fluid communication through at least a portion of the Axial flow drilling 191, spreading a plug (for example, mechanical plug), spreading a filler, spreading a sand plug in formation and/or drilling axial flow 191, or combinations thereof.

<p>5 of instrumental nodes effective in opening said instrument nodes again (for example, to allow a fluid communication path to the subsurface formation), for example, so that a fluid can be produced from the subterranean formation through said flow path.</p>
Referring to Figure 5, another embodiment of a wellbore service system is shown with at least two nodes connected via an NFC signal. In the embodiments in Figure 5, the 10 220 wellbore service system includes a second embodiment of the 220 well bore stimulation system, ie, a second generally configured system
To stimulate one or more regions of a subterranean formation, eg, fracturing, perforation, aqueous jetting, acidification, or a similar system.
In the embodiments in Figure 5, the second wellbore stimulation system 220 comprises one or more 212 tool nodes (specifically, tool nodes 212a, 212b, and 212c) contained within
15th (eg part of) a series of 190 casing tubes placed within a wellbore 114 close to one or more formation zones, such as formation zones 2, 4 and 6, for example, in the first wellbore stimulation system 210 disclosed for Figure 4. The wellbore stimulation system 220 also includes a first control node 214 as shown in Figure 5, and as for the first wellbore stimulation system 210 disclosed for Figure 4.
20 In embodiments in Figure 5, the second wellbore stimulation system 220 also includes a second control node 226. In the embodiments in Figure 5, the second control node is generally configured to connect one or more NFC signals to one or more other nodes and, in particular, one or more other control nodes, such as 1st control node 214 in Figure 5, effective in making one or more other control nodes (for example, 1st control node 214)

etc. I would like a response. In the embodiments in Figure 5, the second control node 226 is included within the casing chain 190 at the uphole location relative to the tool nodes 212 (for example, the top of the well from the “bottom” of the wellbore 114, alternatively, largely near surface 104). In one embodiment, the second control node 226 can be in communication via

In one embodiment, a wellbore service system such as a 220 . second wellbore stimulation system may be used
<p>10 5 in the performance of a well bore servicing process and, in particular, a well bore stimulation process, such as fracturing, perforating, hydrojetting, acidification, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, a wellbore stimulation process may generally comprise the steps of placing one or more tool nodes into the wellbore, connecting a control node across the wellbore to initialize one or more tool nodes for delivering a wellbore stimulation fluid, delivering a wellbore stimulation fluid via the one or</p>

For example, in the embodiment in Figure 5, the initialization of the first control node 214 to communicate with one or more tool nodes 212 could include the delivery of a command (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) or another signal (eg. For example, an NFC signal) from the second control node 226 to the first control node 214. For example, in one embodiment, 5 when the first control node is connected down through the axial flow hole 191 of the casing chain 190 (for example, on the way to one or more tool nodes 212), the second control node 226 can achieve the connection ( For example, via an NFC signal) with the first control node 214 (for example, the second control node 226 can act as an active initiator). In one embodiment, once communication is achieved (for example, via an NFC signal) with the first control node 10 214, the second control node 226 can obtain the identity of the first control node 214, and depending on
On the identity of the first control node 214, the second control node 226 can communicate one or more commands to the first control node 214. Alternatively, the commands communicated from the second control node 226 to the first control node 214 can depend on Any other appropriate and/or relevant factors, for example, the number of other accumulator nodes that have been connected before 15 in or out of the 114 wellbore, several wellbore variants, or the like.
In an embodiment, one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) communicated from the second control node 226 to the first control node 214 can be effective in causing the first control node 214 to initiate transmissions. For example, one or more commands can be effective in causing the first control node 20 214 to enter 'energized' mode or to 'wake up' from a low-power mode, for example, to conserve battery capacity.
25
Additionally or alternatively, one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) can be effective in programming instructions into the first control node 214. For example, these instructions can include any of the following: Tool nodes 212 will run, which tool nodes 212 will communicate with, which tool nodes 212 will not communicate with, which signals
٦٦٠٢
-٤٤-
(e.g. NFC signals) will be sent to tool nodes 212, or combinations thereof. For example, by programming a control node (for example, first control node 214) on its way to tool nodes 212, an operator can ensure that the wrong control node will not be propagated (for example, in the wrong order, for example, where many are used
5 control contract.
Additionally or alternatively, one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) can be effective in converting the 1st control node 214 from a passive target (for example, operating in a passive communication ) to an active initiator. For example, these commands can be effective in moving the first control node 214 to run via
10 The call is in active mode (for example, an active target).
Alternatively, one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) can be effective in suspending (or inhibiting) transmissions from the first control node 214. For example, these commands can be Effective by having the first control node 214 not transmit any signal (eg an NFC signal) to any of the 212 tool nodes. 15 For example, when the first control node 214 is inadvertently released on surface 104 (for example, when the control node is released in the wrong order, where the wrong control node is released incorrectly, and so on), the first control node 214 can be caused to be disconnected By holding the tools, and not commanding them to the tool nodes, to become inactive, to go into sleep mode, or something like that.
20 Additionally or alternatively, in one embodiment, the communication between the first control node 214 and the second control node 226 can be used to verify that the first control node 214 is released and/or connected over the casing chain. In one embodiment, when this validation is the only function to be performed, the second control node 226 can be configured as a drilling performance logging node (for example, configured to receive a command from the first control node 214 while the first control node 214 is connected through a hole).

Referring to Figure 6, another embodiment of a wellbore service system is illustrated with at least two nodes connected via an NFC signal. In embodiments in Figure 6, a wellbore servicing system 230 includes a third embodiment of a wellbore stimulation system 230, eg, a second system generally configured to stimulate one or more subterranean formation zones, eg, a perforating perforating system
.system 5
In the embodiment in Figure 6, a third wellbore stimulation system 230 has a tool node 232 embedded within a 235 work string (for example, a coiled tubing string, a linked tubing string, or combinations thereof). The tool knot 232 is similarly inside (for example, tied to or suspended from) a wire or the like. In the embodiment of
10 Figure 6, the tool node 232 can be configured as a punching tool, for example, a punching gun. In this embodiment, the tool node 232 (for example, a perforating gun) can be configured to perforate a portion of a well and/or a string of tubing (for example, a casing string) placed within it. For example, in an embodiment, it could The perforating gun contains a group of explosively formed charges which, when detonated, will detonate outward into the tube chain and/or formation

In the embodiment in Figure 6, the third wellbore stimulation system 230 also includes a first control node 234. In the embodiment in Figure 6, the first control node 234 is included in the casing chain 190 at a preferred location within the wellbore 114. For example . In many embodiments, the first control node 234 can be located at a slightly higher depth or approaching a limit

A wellbore servicing system may include one or more additional control nodes, such as the first control node 234 included in the casing chain at multiple locations.
In one embodiment, a wellbore servicing system such as the third wellbore stimulation system 230 disclosed for Figure 6 may be used to perform a wellbore servicing, namely, a borehole stimulation operation
<p>5 A well, such as a perforating process. In one embodiment, the process of stimulating a wellbore may generally include the steps of placing a first control node such as a first control node 234 into the wellbore, inserting a tool node such as a tool node 232 (for example, a punch gun) into the wellbore so that the tool node connects With the first control node 234 and as a result of communication with the first control node, it becomes effective for a specific job, running tool node 232.</p>
<p>10 For example, in the embodiment in Figure 6, one or more control nodes, such as control nodes 234, may be placed inside a wellbore, such as wellbore 114. For example, in the embodiment in Figure 6, a control node 234 is included In the casing cascade 190, the control node 234 in the wellbore 114 (eg, positioned at a preferred location within the wellbore 114) may be extended with the casing cascade 190.</p>
<p>15th In one embodiment, when it is preferred to service, and specifically perforate, a subterranean formation region, for example, one or more formation regions 2, 4 and/or 6, the tool node 232 may be extended into borehole 114 (for example, if it is removed in wellbore), for example, suspension from a string of tubing (eg, coiled-tube string), wire, or the like. In one embodiment, the tool knot 232 may, in principle, be extended into the wellbore in a configuration in which the tool knot is 232 Not effective in the procedure</p>
<p>20 one or more functions. For example, in the embodiment in Figure 6, where the tool node 232 includes a punch gun, the tool node 232 can be configured so that the punch gun cannot be ignited, for example, so that the explosive charges in the punch gun cannot be detonated (for example, The perforating gun is extended in a "safe" or "unarmed" configuration).</p>

In one embodiment, when the tool node 232 is extended into the wellbore 114, the tool node 232 is in signal communication with the control node 234. In one embodiment, when the tool node 232 is connected by signal to the control node 234, the control node 234 can initiate communication (for example, via an NFC signal) with the tool node 232. Alternatively, the tool node 232 5 can initiate communications with the control node 234.
In one embodiment, once communication is achieved (for example via an NFC signal) with the tool node 232, the control node 234 can obtain the identity of the tool node 232. In an embodiment, based on the identity of the tool node 232 to which the control node 234 is connected, the control node 234 can control node 234 to communicate one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response,
<p>10 and so on) to the tool node 232. In an alternative embodiment, depending on the identity of the tool node 212, the control node 214 may not communicate any command to the tool node.</p>
In an embodiment, one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) connected to the tool node 232 can be effective in inducing a response by
. tool node 232. For example, in an embodiment, one or more . can have
<p>15th Commands delivered to the tool node 232 on a specific command are associated with a specific response by the tool node 232, for example, a command for the tool to activate, to sleep, to increment a counter, to decrement a counter,</p>
By outputting one or more operating signals, or combinations of them. Alternatively, in one embodiment,
Commands can not be associated with any specific response, for example, in which case the 232 tool node receiving the command can output a response that is not specifically related to the command received.
<p>20 In one embodiment, a command (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) delivered from the control node 234 can be effective in moving the 232 tool node from a first position, for example, where the 232 tool node is not effective in performing one or more of these functions, to a second mode, for example, where the tool node is effective in performing one or more of these functions.For example, in the embodiment in Figure 6, where</p>

(for example, so that the explosive charges cannot be detonated), a command delivered from the control node 234 can be effective in “arming” the tool node 232 (eg a punch gun), for example, to move the tool node 232 to an active or ready position (for example, so that the explosive charges can be detonated selectively).
5 In one embodiment, after the control node 234 is connected to, say, the tool node 232, making the tool node 232 functional, the tool node can be located inside the wellbore 114 near/next to the part of the formation to be serviced (for example, perforated). The tool node 232 (for example, the drill gun) reaches the preferred location within the wellbore 114, the tool node 232 can be selectively actuated. For example, in the embodiment in Figure 6 where the tool node includes
10 232 On the perforating gun, the perforating gun can be ignited to create holes in the casing string
114 and/or part of the subterranean formation. Thus, in one embodiment, the control node 234 can be placed/arranged within the site such that the tool node 232 will not operate until it reaches a specified depth/location (eg “safe”) inside the wellbore 114.
In an embodiment in which a system such as the Third Wellbore Service System 260 comprises two or
<p>15th More than one control nodes such as control node 234, where each control node can be configured to connect to only certain tool nodes, for example, so that a tool node will not be “armed” until it reaches one or more specified control nodes. In addition, a tool node such as tool node 232 can be configured so that a tool node will not be armed until a predetermined number and/or combination of control nodes are connected.</p>
<p>20 While the embodiment in Figure 6 is disclosed, in general, with reference to a perforating gun, those skilled in the art will recognize that, additionally or alternatively, wellbore tools can be activated (yet</p>

In one embodiment, sensor nodes 242 can begin collecting data as soon as 20 are placed in a wellbore 114, for example, sensor nodes 242 can be placed inside a wellbore
in active state. In an alternative embodiment, sensor nodes may be located inside the wellbore in the case of yi
Inactive, for example, where the sensor nodes do not perform any data collection function until they are activated. For example, in one embodiment, after sensor nodes are placed inside a wellbore 114, a control node may be used to move the sensor nodes to a reduced power position (at
