Abstract

A method for analyzing cement in a well annulus, comprises measuring strain of a casing in the well with a system comprising at least one string of interconnected sensors that is arranged such that the sensors are distributed along a length and the circumference of the casing; after pumping cement into the well annulus: establishing a baseline that is a function of steady state strain measurements within a first time period; and identifying strain measurements that substantially deviate from the baseline during a second time period.
