Claims
- 1. A method of logging a wellbore, comprising:
assembling at least one logging tool at an end of a continuous rod; running the at least one tool into the wellbore; operating the at least one tool in the wellbore; collecting a data in the wellbore; measuring a depth of the at least one logging tool; correlating the data with the depth of the at least one logging tool.
- 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising recording the data after it is collected.
- 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:
withdrawing the at least one tool from the wellbore; and retrieving the recorded data before correlating the data with the depth of the tool.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the continuous rod comprises a conductor.
- 5. The method of claim 4, transmitting the data to the surface of the wellbore.
- 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the conductor is disposed in the continuous rod.
- 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the conductor comprises a coating of conductive material.
- 8. An apparatus for conveying a downhole tool, comprising:
a continuous rod string; a delivery rig for delivering the rod string; and a downhole tool attached to one end of the rod string.
- 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the downhole tool is selected from the group consisting of a logging instrument, a perforating gun, a casing inspection tool, a production logging tool, a packer, a plug, and combinations thereof.
- 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the downhole tool comprises a logging instrument attached to the rod string using an instrument head.
- 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the logging instrument comprises:
a housing; a sensor disposed in the housing; a memory means; and a power supply.
- 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the sensor is selected from the group consisting of nuclear sensor, acoustic sensor, electromagnetic sensor, and combinations thereof.
- 13. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a depth encoder.
- 14. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a rotatable storage reel.
- 15. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the rod string comprises a conductor.
- 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the conductor is disposed within the rod string.
- 17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the conductor comprises a coating material.
- 18. The apparatus of claim 15, further comprising a depth encoder for measuring the amount of rod string extended.
- 19. An apparatus for installing a wellbore component in a wellbore, comprising:
a continuous rod, the wellbore component disposed on the continuous rod; a telemetry tool disposed on the continuous rod; and a gamma ray tool disposed on the continuous rod.
- 20. The apparatus of claim 19, further comprising a delivery rig.
- 21. The apparatus of claim 19, further comprising a surface unit having a signal processor.
- 22. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the telemetry tool comprises:
a sensor capable of measuring temperature or pressure; a power supply; and a central processing unit.
- 23. A method for transporting a wellbore component in the wellbore, comprising:
disposing the wellbore component on a continuous rod; disposing a telemetry tool on the continuous rod; transmitting data to a surface unit; and locating the wellbore component in the wellbore.
- 24. The method of claim 23, further comprising disposing a gamma ray tool on the continuous rod.
- 25. The method of claim 24, further comprising:
sending a signal to the gamma ray tool; recording gamma counts in the wellbore; and transmitting a record of the gamma counts to the surface.
- 26. The method of claim 23, wherein the wellbore component comprises a packer or a bridge plug.
- 27. A method of operating a tool in a wellbore, comprising:
operatively connecting at least one tool to a string of continuous rod; running the at least one tool into the wellbore; and operating the at least one tool.
- 28. The method of claim 27, wherein the at least one tool is selected from the group consisting of a logging instrument, a fishing tool, a completions tool, or combinations thereof.
- 29. The method of claim 28, wherein the logging instrument includes a memory means.
- 30. The method of claim 28, wherein the logging instrument includes a power supply.
- 31. The method of claim 28, wherein the fishing tool includes an overshot or spear.
- 32. The method of claim 28, wherein the completions tool includes a packer or a plug.
- 33. The method of claim 27, wherein an operational signal is conducted through at least a portion of the continuous rod.
