RFID

Deepwater operators continually face technical and environmental challenges to drilling and completing wells safely and efficiently.

This paper focuses on the application of radio-frequency-identification technology to enable an operator to eliminate an intervention run (or intermediate liner) for a 10,000-ft reservoir section.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) offers the user flexibility in controlling downhole operations without intervention. RFID uses close-proximity sensing to communicate by simply passing a coded tag through an antenna-equipped downhole tool to actuate it.
