Specifically, in the embodiment in Figure 4, each of the tool nodes 212 is positioned within the wellbore such that each of the 202 sensor nodes is generally attached to a subterranean formation region (specifically, one of the formation regions 2, 4 and 6). In this embodiment , each instrument node 212a, 212b, and 212c can selectively deliver fluid to each of the zones 2, 4

In the embodiment in Figure 4, the first control node 214 is generally configured to deliver one or more signals to one or more tool nodes 212 Effective in inducing one or more nodes to elicit a response. In the embodiment in Figure 4, the first control node 15 214 includes a sphere, for example, such that the first control node 214 can be connected through a chain of casing pipes 190 through its axial flow hole 191.

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 the casing string 190, the tool nodes 212 in the wellbore 114 (eg, positioned at a preferred 10 position within the wellbore 114) can be extended with the casing string 190.
In one embodiment, the tool nodes 212a, 212b, and 212c may be initially placed inside the wellbore 114 in a first configuration in which the tool nodes 212 do not allow a fluid connection path from their axial flow bore (and from the 191 axial flowbore of the 190 series casing) to the proximal and/or associated aquifer 2, 4 and 6, respectively.
15th 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 wellbore 114 (eg, forward circulation of the fluid). In one embodiment, when the control node 214 is connected through the wellbore 114, the control node 214 is in signal communication with each of the nodes
20 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.

-٣٩-
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 If control node 214 has control node 214, then control node 214 can communicate one or more commands (for example, 5 data frame request, data frame response, and so on) to tool node 212. In an alternate embodiment, depending on
On the identity of the tool node 212, the control node 214 may 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 a tool node 212. For example, In one embodiment, it may include
10 One or more commands communicated to the tool node 212 on a specific command associated with a specific response by the tool node 212, for example, a command for the tool to activate, to sleep, to increment a counter, to decrease a counter, to output one or more triggers, or combinations of them. Alternatively, in one embodiment, commands can be unrelated to any specific response, for example, in which case the tool node 212 receiving the command can output a response that is not specifically tied to the command that was given.
15th his reception.
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, once a predefined NFC signal is received, a predefined amount of NFC, or a pre-defined combination of pre-set NFC signals), the circuit electronic 20 inside the tool node 212 can cause the tool node to output an operating signal (for example, voltage or current), for example, to the operator, causing the Transition of the tool node 212 from the first body (in which the tool node 212 does not allow a fluid communication path from its axial flow hole to the nearby formation region) to a second body (in which the tool node 212 allows a fluid communication path from the axial flow hole from it to the nearby formation area) In one embodiment, causing the widget node to run may also include one or more additional steps, for example
٦٦٣٩
-٤٠-
For example, applying fluid pressure to the axial flow hole of a 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 is in a first position (eg, 5 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 tool node ports 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 10 through one or more ports of the tool node 212).
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 preferred arrangement. For example, 15 tool nodes 212 can be run starting from a lower tool node (for example, tool node 212a, in the embodiment in Figure 4), and then a middle tool node (for example, tool node 212b, in the embodiment in Figure 4), then an upper 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 212 can be run in an alternating sequence (for example, tool node 212a, tool node 212c, and 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 25 axial flowbore, perforating fluid, waterjet fluid, and the like, or combinations thereof), in and through the axial flow bore

for a series of 190 casing tubing across one or more tool nodes, and in one or more subterranean formation zones (eg, one or more formation zones 2, 4 and/or 6). The wellbore service fluid may be delivered at a rate of and/or or appropriate pressure, for example, at a rate and/or pressure sufficient to initiate or extend one or more fluid communication paths to or in the formation
5 Underground, for example, one or more fissures or holes.
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 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 10 tool nodes can be stopped or blocked, for example, So that the tool node 212 will not provide a connection path
Fluid in the subterranean formation.
For example, in an embodiment, obstruction or blocking of the fluid communication path through one or more tool nodes 212 configured to provide a fluid communication path from an axial flow hole from it to the subterranean formation may involve the reconfiguration of one or more tool nodes configured with such
15th Method 212. For example, in an embodiment, a control node (for example, a second control node, identical control node 214) can be connected down through a wellbore 114 to achieve communication (for example, via an NFC signal) with each of the Instrument holding 212. In an embodiment, once communication is achieved (for example, via an NFC signal) with each of the 212 tool node, the second control node can specify the tool node 212 to which the second control node 20 is connected, for example, to connect one or more of the commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) based on the identity of the node of the 212 tool you are connecting to. For example, the second control node can only instruct 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 instrument node 25 effective to induce a response by the instrument node 212. For example, in an embodiment, it could

-٤٢-
It is efficient to have the tool node 212 output a playback signal (for example, immediately upon receiving a pre-set NFC signal, a pre-set amount of NFC signals, or a pre-selected combination of pre-set NFC signals). For example, once the tool node 212 receives a command, the tool node's electronic circuit can output a trigger signal (for example, a second trigger signal) to trigger 5 (for example, a second trigger) causing the tool node 212 to move from the second body (where the tool node 212 allows a fluid communication path from the axial flow hole from it to the proximal formation region) to a third body or back to the first body (where the tool node 212 does not allow a fluid communication path from the axial flow hole from it to the proximal formation region). For example, once the tool node 212 receives a preset NFC signal, the tool node 212 can output an on-off signal (for example, voltage or current) to a trigger. In one embodiment, the actuator can be configured so that once an actuation signal is received, an additional portion of the fluid held in the fluid chamber is no longer held by the actuator, and thus causes a sliding bushing to move to a third position (for example, a position where it is no longer allowed to with a fluid communication path from its axial flow hole to the proximal formation region through one or more ports of the 212 tool nodes).

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 hole 191, Deploying a plug (eg, mechanical plug), Deploying grout, Deploying a sand plug in formation and/or Axial flow perforation 191, or combinations

In addition, in an embodiment, following the actuation of stimulation, a control node may be wired back down through the wellbore and may deliver one or more signals to one or more instrument nodes active in opening said instrument nodes again (on 5 to allow a fluid communication path to the aquifer), for example, so that a fluid can be produced from the aquifer through said flow path.
Referring to Figure 5, another embodiment of a wellbore servicing system is illustrated with at least two nodes connected via an NFC signal. In embodiments in Figure 5, a wellbore service system 220 includes a second embodiment of a wellbore stimulation system 220, eg, a second system generally configured to stimulate one or more subterranean formation zones, eg, fracturing, perforating, hydrojetting , 10 acidification, or similar system.

The wellbore stimulation system 220 also includes a first control node 214 as shown in Figure 5, and as in the first wellbore stimulation system 210 disclosed for Figure 4.
In the 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
20 To connect one or more NFC signals to one or more other nodes and, in particular, one or more other control nodes, such as the first control node 214 in Figure 5, effective in making one or more other control nodes (for example In embodiments in Figure 5, the second control node 226 is included within the casing chain 190 at the uphole location in relation to the tool nodes 212 (eg.

In one embodiment, the second control node 226 may be in communication by signaling one or more components on the surface (for example, a computer or other data processor, a data storage medium, a long-range data transmission medium, and so on). , for example, via a wired link or other suitable link.In one embodiment, the control node may include

In one embodiment, a wellbore servicing system such as the second wellbore stimulation system 220 disclosed for Figure 5 may be used to perform a wellbore servicing operation, namely, a wellbore stimulation operation, such as fracturing, perforating, waterjet operation, operation acidification, or combinations thereof.

<p>20 such as the first control node 214) across the wellbore to configure one or more tool nodes to connect a fluid on the control node configuration (for example, the first control node 214) to communicate with one or more tool nodes.</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 request

The second control node 226 to the first control node 214. For example, in an embodiment, 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 communicate (for example, via an NFC signal) with the first control node 5 214 (for example, the second control node 226 can act as an active initiator).
embodiments, once communication is achieved (for example, via an NFC signal) with the first control node 214, the second control node 226 can obtain the identity of the first control node 214, and based on the identity of the first control node 214, the second control node 226 can connect One or more commands to the first control node 214. Additionally or alternatively, the 10 commands that are communicated from the second control node 226 to the first control node 214 may depend on any other appropriate and/or relevant factors, for example, the number of other accumulator nodes that have already been connected at or Outside of borehole 114, several borehole variants, or similar.
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 15 214 can be effective in causing the first control node 214 to initiate transmissions For example, one or more of the commands can be effective in causing the first control node 214 to enter 'energized' mode or to 'wake up' from a low-power mode, for example, to conserve battery capacity.
Additionally or alternatively, one or more commands (for example, request 20 data frames, response data frame, and so on) can be effective in programming instructions into the first control node
214. For example, these instructions could include which of the 212 gadget nodes will run, which gadget nodes 212 will communicate with, which gadget nodes 212 will not communicate with, which signals (eg NFC signals) will be sent to the 212 gadget nodes, For example, by programming the control node (for example, the first control node 214) into

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 target
5 passive (for example, running in a passive communication) to an active initiator. For example, these commands can be effective in transitioning the first control node 214 to operation over the communication 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 damping) transmissions from the first control node 10 214. For example, this could be The commands are effective in making the first control node 214
Delivers any signal (for example, an NFC signal) to any of the 212 tool nodes. For example, when the first control node 214 is inadvertently released on the 104th surface (for example, when the control node is released in the wrong order, where the control node is released A faulty control node, etc.), can cause the first control node 214 to not communicate with the tool nodes, 15 and not to command the tool nodes, to become inactive, to go into sleep mode, or something like that.
Additionally or alternatively, in an 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 job that will be performed 20 the second control node 226 can be configured as a drilling performance logging node (for example,
configured to receive a command from first control node 214 while first control node 214 is connected through the wellbore).

In the embodiment in Figure 6, the third wellbore stimulation system 230 includes a tool node 232
5 Embedded within a 235 work string (for example, a coiled tubing string, a linked tubing string, or combinations thereof). Alternatively, the tool node 232 may be similarly embedded within (e.g., attached to or suspended from) a wire etc. In the embodiment in Figure 6, the tool node 232 can be configured as a perforating tool, for example, a perforating gun. In this embodiment, the tool node 232 (for example, a perforating gun) can be configured
10 to perforate a portion of a well and/or a string of tubes (eg, a casing string) placed within it. For example, in one embodiment, the perforating gun may comprise a group of explosively formed charges which, when detonated, will detonate outward in the tubing string and /or configuration with the intention of forming a group of holes.
In the embodiment in Figure 6, the third wellbore stimulation system 230 also includes a control node

In one embodiment, a wellbore servicing system such as the third wellbore stimulation system 230 disclosed for Fig. 6 may be used to perform a wellbore servicing operation, and specifically, a wellbore stimulation operation, such as a perforation operation. In one embodiment, the process of stimulating a well bore may generally include the steps of placing a first control node such as a first control node 234 into the wellbore, inserting a tool 5 node such as a tool node 232 (for example, a punch gun) into the wellbore so that it connects to a tool node 5 such as a tool node 232 The tool with the first control node 234 and as a result of communication with the first control node becomes effective for a specific function, running the tool node 232.
For example, in 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 embodiment 10 in Figure 6, a control node is included 234 in the 190 series casing tubes, can
Extend the control node 234 in the wellbore 114 (eg, positioned at a preferred location within the wellbore 114) with the casing chain 190.
In one embodiment, when it is preferred to service, and specifically perforate, a subterranean formation zone, eg, one or more formation zones 2, 4 and/or 6, the tool knot 232 may be extended into the wellbore 114 15 (eg, if it is removed . In the borehole), for example, a suspension from a string of tubes (on the
For example, coiled tubing string (, wire, or the like. In one embodiment, the tool knot 232 may, in principle, be stretched into the wellbore in a configuration in which the tool knot 232 is ineffective in performing 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 punch gun is Extending the punching pistol in a “safe” or “unarmed” position).
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

For example, via an NFC signal) with the tool node 232. Alternatively, the tool node 232 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 one embodiment, based on the identity of the tool node 232 to which the control node 234 is connected, Control node 234 can communicate one or more commands (for example, a data frame request, a data frame response, and so on) to tool node 232. In an alternative embodiment, depending on the identity of tool node 212, control node 214 may not connect Any command to the tool node.
In an embodiment, one or more commands (for example, 10 data frame request, data frame response, and so on) connected to tool node 232 can be effective in prompting a response by tool node 232. For example, in an embodiment, it can be One or more commands delivered to the tool node 232 includes a specific command associated with a specific response by the tool node 232, for example, a command for the tool to wake up, to sleep, to increment a counter, to decrease a counter, to output one or more triggers , or combinations thereof. Alternatively, in one embodiment, 15 commands could not be associated with any specific response, for example, in which case they could output
The tool node 232 that receives the command is a response that is not specifically related to the command received.
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 the said 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 the tool node includes a perforating gun and where the perforating gun is inserted into the wellbore 114 “unarmed” (ie, so that the explosive charges cannot be detonated), the command to be Connected from the control node 234 is effective in “arming” the tool node 232 (for example, a hexagon).

<p>5 The part of the formation to be serviced (for example, punched). When the tool node 232 (for example, the punch gun) reaches the preferred location within the wellbore 114, the tool node 232 can be selectively actuated. For example, in the embodiment given in Figure 6 Where a tool knot 232 comprises a perforating gun, the perforating gun may be ignited to create holes in the casing string 114 and/or part of the subterranean formation.</p>
<p>10 Control 234 is in-situ so that the tool node 232 will not operate until it reaches a specified depth/location</p>

In an embodiment where a system such as the third wellbore service system 260 includes two or more control nodes such as control node 234, each control node can be configured to communicate only with certain tool nodes, for example, so that it will not be “armed” Node a tool until you reach
<p>15th One or more specified control nodes. In addition, a tool node such as a 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>

The wellbore has a first flow control system 240 in the embodiment of Figure 7 and a second flow control system 250 in the embodiment in Figure 8. For example, both the first flow control system 240 and the second flow control system 250 are generally configured To collect and/or record data from within the borehole (for example, production data) and to control production from
<p>5 the wellbore (and/or one or more of its regions) based on the wellbore data. For example, this data may include wellbore data (for example, temperature data, pressure data, flow-rate data rate, the presence or absence of a specified fluid or component, or combinations thereof).</p>
For example, this data can include flow rates (for example, a relative flow rate of 10 passed at two or more locations within the wellbore) and/or fluid compositions (for example,
e.g. relative fluid composition at two or more locations within the borehole). In this embodiment, the rate of change of the fluid flow rate and/or fluid composition may be used to model a formation (for example, a product formation) or part of it, for example, to control produce fluids from it based on that model, the data obtained, and/or changes in the data obtained over time.

In this embodiment, each node of the 242a, 242b, and 242c sensor nodes can be selectively configured to allow fluid to flow in the 245 production piping. In one embodiment, the 245 production piping can be installed via one or More than 247 output pads. Additionally, 247 output pads can be turned on or set via an NFC signal, as <sup>y</sup></p>

In the embodiments in Figures 7 and 8, the first drilling performance logging control node 244 includes a ball, for example, such that the first DR log control node 244 may be connected through the production pipeline 245. Alternatively, 5 could include First digging performance recording control node 244 on any suitable type or configuration.
In the embodiment in Figure 7, the first flow control system 240 also includes a second register control node 246. In the embodiment in Figure 7, the second drilling performance logger control node 246 is generally configured to retrieve and/or receive data from either one or More than 10 other nodes, namely the first drilling performance logging control node 244. The logging control node is also configured

In one embodiment, a wellbore servicing system, such as the inflow 240 control system and/or a second flow control system 250, may be used to perform a wellbore servicing operation, for example, producing formation fluids from the wellbore associated aquifer.

In this embodiment, the operation of one or more 242 sensor nodes could be This wellbore servicing process generally includes placing a production pipeline into the wellbore 114 5 and connecting the FPR control node 244 through the operating pipeline 245.
Referring again to Figures 7 and 8, in one embodiment, one or more sensor nodes 242 may be located inside a wellbore 114, for example, as part of a production pipeline such as a production pipeline 245. For example, in the embodiment given in Figures 7 and 8, where the 242 sensor nodes are included in the 245 production pipeline, the 10 242 tool nodes can be extended into wellbore 114 (for example, positioned at a preferred location within the wellbore 114)

In an embodiment where the production piping series 245 is attached to one or more of the 247 gaskets, the production 247 gaskets can be triggered by an NFC signal. For example, when the first drilling performance logging control node 244 is connected down through well borehole 114, the production shims 15 247 can be in signal communication with an NFC signal and receive it from the logging control node
Initial pit performance 244. Thus, the production shove 247 can operate or be tuned in response to a received NFC signal.
In one embodiment, sensor nodes 242 can start collecting data as soon as they are placed in a wellbore 114, for example, sensor nodes 242 can be placed inside wellbore 20 in an active state. In an alternative embodiment, the 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 low-power position (for example, to “sleep”), to move the sensor nodes to an active position (for example , to 25 "Activation"), or similar.

In this embodiment, one or more of the commands delivered from the control node 15 of the second drilling performance log 246 can be effective in programming instructions into the control node of the first drilling performance logging 244. For example, these instructions could include the programming of the instructions For one or more sensor nodes 242, for example, instructions relating to the improvement of one or more sensor nodes.
