The article is devoted to the study of new approaches to the application of the acoustic method for continuous monitoring of well cementing integrity (scientific research was carried out with the support of the Russian Science Foundation). It is noted, there are a huge number of natural and man-made factors affecting the integrity of the casing fastening. Improving and optimizing existing approaches, models and methods for assessing the condition of a field facility, accident risks, computer implementation and modeling are the most urgent tasks for companies and enterprises, including at the state level. The authors proposed a new principle of crack detection. This approach will improve the efficiency of oil and gas production in difficult operating conditions and will help to predict the destruction of the cement stone at early stages. This will increase safety at work due to the ability to identify and manage risks, as well as make more informed decisions on the further operation. The possibility of using a pulsed acoustic wave transmission method to determine the presence of cracks in a cement stone is shown. The results obtained can be used in the creation of promising ultrasonic devices for conducting research and production monitoring, as well as a control of fluid phases in oil and gas wells. In further research, proposals will be formed on the expediency of developing applied research and planning promising research projects, which will be aimed at finding new principles and ways to create modern types of devices and hardware complexes for energy efficient technologies using new ultrasonic systems.
