Metal magnetic memory (MMM) technique is an effective method to achieve the detection of stress concentration (SC) zone foroil well casing It can provide an early diagnosis of microdamages for preventive protection MMM is a natural space domain signalwhich is weak and vulnerable to noise interference So it is difficult to achieve effective feature extraction ofMMM signal especiallyunder the hostile subsurface environment of high temperature high pressure high humidity and multiple interfering sources Inthis paper a method of median filter preprocessing based on data preprocessing technique is proposed to eliminate the outlierspoint of MMM And based on wavelet transform (WT) the adaptive wavelet denoising method and data smoothing arithmeticare applied in testing the system of MMM By using data preprocessing technique the data are reserved and the noises of thesignal are reduced Therefore the correct localization of SC zone can be achieved In the meantime characteristic parameters innew diagnostic approach are put forward to ensure the reliable determination of casing danger level through least squares supportvector machine (LS-SVM) and nonlinear quantitative mapping relationship The effectiveness and feasibility of this method areverified through experiments
1 Introduction
Caused by the factors of erosion geology and engineeringwell casing damage leads to huge economic losses in oilfield every year because of the long-term nonuniform loadon downhole casing which results in severe local stressconcentration and bending deformation and breaking [1ndash3] Therefore it is one of the difficulties in nondestructivetesting to predict the abnormal stress concentration of oilwell casing in order to prevent casing damage Stress isregarded as one of the major factors affecting ferromagneticbehavior along with magnetic field and temperature Effectof stress or strain on magnetization is called the Villarieffect inverse magnetostrictive effect or piezomagnetism Ingeneral it is simply referred to as magnetomechanical effectSince an applied stress can alter the domain structure andhave a substantial effect on the low-field magnetic properties
such as remanence and permeability recently these effectsare mostly found in practical applications of magnetic non-destructive testing actuators and magnetic sensors As aresult the effects have been paid considerable attention inthe literature [1ndash4] Nevertheless the coupling effect betweenmechanical and magnetic properties is so complicated tostunt the development of these properties in nondestructivetesting application
Traditional nondestructive testing such as radiographictesting ultrasonic testing penetrant testing magnetic parti-cle testing and eddy current testing is effective in detectingexisting cracks which means that the detection of crack inthe bud can not be achieved in time before crack developsseverely However MMM technique is a new method ofnondestructive testing which can accomplish early diagnosisand detection of defects With the testing characteristic ofstress concentration it is capable of detecting the most

2 Abstract and Applied Analysis
dangerous damage in advance It has been widely appliedin the field of electric power railway and petrochemicalindustry and has been proved effective Despite of all theseMMM is found to be a natural space domain signal and havethe same order of magnitude as the earth magnetic fieldwhich means it is of random nonsmooth signal as well as lowsignal-to-noise ratio and is vulnerable to noise interference[4] Meanwhile quantitative evaluation is affected becauseit is difficult to correctly extract the features of MMMsignal under the hostile subsurface environment such ashigh temperature high pressure and great noise Anotherdifficulty for feature extraction is that underground casing iswrapped in thermal-protective coating of a large dampingwhich results in producing weaker signal or even no signalfrom the stress concentration zone where cracks appear
Data preprocessing and data driven is the first step indiagnosis for casting by usingMMMThe reliability usabilityand integrality of measurement data can affect the accuracyefficiency and effectiveness of model reconstruction directlyThe concept of data preprocessing and data driven is oftenused in computer science But because of the exceedingprogress of computer techniques massive process data can beobtained by the intelligentized industry so data preprocess-ing and data driven have been taking up a lot of attentions inengineering science Rapid improvement of database capacitymake people use data more effectively and fulfill morefunctions Data means information so the so-called datapreprocessing and data driven are drawing information fromdata and use information to realize different objects To drawinformation from data statistical techniques are the chiefmethod and applications based on multivariate statisticaltechniques become the main part of data preprocessing anddata-driven area At present there have been many papersabout the application in different fields of industry based ondata-driven algorithm and techniques [5ndash8] Based on thebasic data-driven methods for process monitoring and faultdiagnosis a comparison study in [9] is provided Authorsin [9] illustrated the efficiencies of data-driven methods dis-cussed in their paper through the application of an industrialbenchmark of Tennessee Eastman (TE) process
The most important mathematical tools in statisticaltechniques filtering algorithm and wavelet analysis arecommonly used in data preprocessing and data-driven fieldIn the process of data acquisition redundancy and mea-surement noise will be introduced inevitably These errorpoints can bring great impacts on the model reconstructionand analysis of data feature In order to extract the featureof data better data filtering must be applied to make theerrors removed Authors in [10] proposed an intelligent datafiltering method based on artificial neural networks to detectbearing defects of induction motors In [11] a robust 119867

The wavelet analysis theory is gradually developing tobecome one of important technologies in the dynamic mea-surement signal process field by its advantage of multires-olution and multidimensional analysis on time frequencyAuthors in [14] propose control strategy for the energymanagement which is based on the combination of wavelettransform and neural network arithmetic In the controlstrategy proposed wavelet is in charge of decomposing andthen reconfiguring the power difference between generatedpower and consumed power by loads In [15] authors addressan application of wavelet networks in identification andcontrol design for a class of structures equipped with a typeof semiactive actuators The wavelet analysis theories andmethods are developing and are far frommaturationWaveletanalysis and its application have great potentialities in manyapplied fields of natural science and its application in MMMtest and estimating stress concentration zone is increasing
In this paper according to the foregoing reference amethod of multisource information processing andmultifea-ture quantitative evaluation is described to solve the problemsofMMMsignal processing of underground casing First of allmedian filter preprocessing is adopted to eliminate the out-liers point of MMM Secondly based on wavelet transform(WT) the estimation ismade by adaptive threshold ofwavelettransform coefficients with various scaled space signalsthrough optimal soft threshold denoising which restrains thenoise signal to extract gradient and zero-crossing point fea-tures to achieve correct localization of SC zone Thirdly newdiagnostic approach of combined characteristic parametersis put forward to ensure the reliable determination of casingdanger level through LS-SVM and nonlinear quantitativemapping relationship The effectiveness and feasibility of thismethod are verified through experiments

This irreversibility of magnetic state will remain after theelimination of working load which makes it possible toaccomplish the accurate diagnosis of component defects and(or) stress concentration zone through the determinationof normal component 119867

119901(119910)d119909| is taken as a measurement indicator
The features of zero-crossing point and gradient value aretwo key characteristic parameters inMMMtesting techniqueExperts from Energodiagnostika Co Ltd have proposedsupplementary rules at the MMM application conference inAnshan in 2004 which is mainly about the comprehensivelocalization of stress concentration zone through maximumgradient area and zero-crossing point area [1ndash4] Though itis easy to locate stress concentration zone according to thesmooth MMM curves like the ones in Figure 1 the actualcurves collected are obviously much more complicated thanwhat is in Figure 1 because noise variation is often includedwhen differential derivative technique is employed whichmakes it hard to extract the accurate gradient value of signalsaltation In addition subsurface environment is extremelyhostile and has the characteristics of high temperature highpressure high humidity and great noise underground casingis wrapped in thermal-protective coating of a large dampingwhich results in worse signal-to-noise ratio of weak MMMsignal or even totally overwhelmed by noise Therefore it isdifficult to extract gradient characteristic value of MMM aswell as achieve quantitative evaluation of danger level whichproves the necessity of MMM signal processing

ground test was carried out in the simulation well of Daqingoilfield During the test short oil well casings with the lengthof 1m were truncated respectively from a 11-meter longoil well casing (specimen is about 14mm wall thickness is76mm) and were labeled as specimen 1 and specimen 2The two specimens were placed respectively in the middleof hydraulic platform of a NYL-300 compression testingmachine and stress tests were carried out in the middle partof the specimens in order to eliminate the effect of end faceThe nominal working strengths were 20 40 and 240 kNStress application was done every other 20 kN and lastedfor 10 minutes each time After each stress application thespecimen was removed and was vertically placed at a fixedposition The experimental facility is shown in Figure 2
Before stress tests there was no stress concentration zonein oil well casing see the MMM curve in Figure 3 Thereis no obvious peak-peak singular feature of local gradientand signal When the working strength is equal to or largerthan 40 kNs pressure the curve showed significant changethat is obvious peak-peak value in Figure 4 and maximumgradient area after Fourier analysis of the curve See Figure 5This proves that MMM signal energy is mainly concentratedin low-frequency area From Figure 6 it can be seen thatin several areas the gradient values are above 8 or close to8 According to the criterion of Russian patent this meansthere is dangerous stress concentration zone (oil well casing

is close to hazardous situation when gradient values areabove 8) However after the experiment conclusion has beendrawn that maximum stress concentration level only appearsintensively in the intermediate region which means thereshould be low stress concentration level in other areas andthe utilization will not be affected Therefore it is difficultto determine danger level depending only on differentialderivative [20] It is necessary to conduct MMM signalprocessing especially under more complicated undergroundenvironment
4 MMM Signal Processing and FeatureExtraction for Oil Well Casing
There is a great influence of underground interference andnoise on MMM data and the main source of noise is foundto be the high-frequency noise of measurement noise andthe interfering signal from probe vibration Since MMMsignal is random signal strictly speaking it lacks stability

Though Fourier analysis can achieve a general analysis onthe spectrum features of MMM signal it does not possesslocal analysis feature of time domain and frequency domain[20] Therefore wavelet analysis is adopted in this section toprocess MMM signal
41 Data Smoothing Since MMM signal is weak spatialdomain signal with low frequency [21 22] it is necessary tofirstly accomplish the smoothing of data collected in order toremove possible interference signal and meaningless isolatedoutliers point To ensure high fidelity of signal amplitude aswell as real time of the testing system without producing newquantization parameters median smooth filter is adoptedConsider
119910 (119898) = Median [119909 (119898) 119909 (119898 minus 1) 119909 (119898 minus 2)] (2)
where 119910(119898) is the output 119909(119898) is the input signal sequencein spatial domain and Median is median function
42Wavelet Analysis Sincewavelet transformation (MT)hasa goodmultiresolution time-frequency analysis featurewhichis capable of reducing noise as well as retaining the edge ithas become the key method of the extraction ofMMM signalsingularity [23ndash26] For MMM signal 119891(119905) which containsnoise the model in wavelet domain is
119910 (119905) = 119891 (119905) + 120575 sdot 119899 (119905) (3)

This indicates that the average density of white noisemodulusmaximum is inverse proportion to the scale that is thegreater the scale is the sparser themodulusmaximumwill beWhileWTof noise on different scales is highly irrelevantWTof MMM singular signal often has a strong correlation thatis local modulus maximums on adjacent scales almost sharethe same position and the same sign which is the theoreticalfoundation of MMM signal processing
43 Wavelet-Based Adaptive Threshold Denoising The prin-ciple of wavelet-based denoising is to accomplish a waveletanalysis onmeasurement signal mixed with noise and to sep-arate them according to the different characteristics betweensignal and noise under WT The wavelet coefficients whichbelong to noise are set to zero wavelet reconstruction iscarried out on the left to get useful signalWavelet coefficientsobtained fromhard thresholdmethod are discrete [22] whichoften result in oscillation effect for signal reconstruction Softthreshold function can achieve smooth denoising of waveletcoefficients in low scales However in high scales it will causea decline of signal-to-noise ratio Therefore it is necessary tocontract wavelet coefficients in low scales as well as protectwavelet coefficients in high scales in order to restrain theoscillation
The combination of soft and hard threshold methods isadopted that means that under the premise of maximumdenoising [23] errors are reduced to the greatest extent withthe purpose of achieving optimal denoising Consider

it can be seen that actually noise threshold will decline alongwith the increase of scales So it is not inadvisable to choosethe fixed threshold value If the threshold value is too largeuseful signal is prone to be filtered out which will have animpact on signal-to-noise ratio So adaptive threshold valueis chosen by (9) which changes according to the scales andstandard deviation Noise standard deviation is estimated asfollows

Therefore new wavelet coefficients are obtained and signalreconstruction is achieved through inverse transforms
Signal denoising procedures are as follows
(1) wavelet coefficients are obtained through six-layerdecomposition according to Db10 wavelet motherfunction
(2) based on (9) the first four-layer threshold valuesare determined and optimal threshold value (7) isemployed to process wavelet coefficients to get newwavelet coefficients
(3) signal is reconstructed through inverse transforms
Data fromFigure 4 is applied to adaptive threshold denoisingsee Figures 7 and 8 It is obvious that gradient valuemaximumof oil well casing in the middle area is 8 and the stressconcentration level is the highest which is in accordancewithexperimental results and should be well focused on Gradientvalues in other areas are less than 4 the stress concentrationzone is relatively smallTherefore gradient values after signaldenoising are more accessible to qualitative and quantitative

After the denoising reconstruction of MMM signal col-lected feature extraction should be accomplished Patentedtechnology raised by Energodiagnostika Co Ltd of Russiais to determine stress concentration zone through gradientvalue maximum and zero-crossing point Gradient valueis considered as characteristic parameter which has beenpointed out in existing researches that one single parameteroften causes misjudgment in real In this section peak-peakvalue and gradient value are chosen to be characteristicparameters as a whole with the purpose of ensuring accuratedetermination of stress concentration zone
Signal peak-peak value PP0 is as follows peak-peak valueis taken as characteristic parameter which eliminates theimpact of signal baseline and enhances the reliability ofdetection because it is an important distribution featureof signal detection When peak-peak value is calculatedmaximum and minimum values of signal are firstly sought
and then absolute value (range) of the difference betweenthese two adjacent extremums is obtained which is easy toachieve through computer Consider
PP0 = max [119891 (119898)] minus min [119891 (119898)] (12)

Since 119879PP0 rarr 119884 obtained from experiment is smallsample quantitative classification of danger level throughsmall sample study method is adopted in this section andnonlinear mapping relationship is established through LS-SVM LS-SVM is a machine learning algorithm based onstatistical learning theory Learning according to the principleof structural risk minimization it translates optimizationproblem into a problem of convex quadratic programming

2 Abstract and Applied Analysis
dangerous damage in advance It has been widely appliedin the field of electric power railway and petrochemicalindustry and has been proved effective Despite of all theseMMM is found to be a natural space domain signal and havethe same order of magnitude as the earth magnetic fieldwhich means it is of random nonsmooth signal as well as lowsignal-to-noise ratio and is vulnerable to noise interference[4] Meanwhile quantitative evaluation is affected becauseit is difficult to correctly extract the features of MMMsignal under the hostile subsurface environment such ashigh temperature high pressure and great noise Anotherdifficulty for feature extraction is that underground casing iswrapped in thermal-protective coating of a large dampingwhich results in producing weaker signal or even no signalfrom the stress concentration zone where cracks appear
Data preprocessing and data driven is the first step indiagnosis for casting by usingMMMThe reliability usabilityand integrality of measurement data can affect the accuracyefficiency and effectiveness of model reconstruction directlyThe concept of data preprocessing and data driven is oftenused in computer science But because of the exceedingprogress of computer techniques massive process data can beobtained by the intelligentized industry so data preprocess-ing and data driven have been taking up a lot of attentions inengineering science Rapid improvement of database capacitymake people use data more effectively and fulfill morefunctions Data means information so the so-called datapreprocessing and data driven are drawing information fromdata and use information to realize different objects To drawinformation from data statistical techniques are the chiefmethod and applications based on multivariate statisticaltechniques become the main part of data preprocessing anddata-driven area At present there have been many papersabout the application in different fields of industry based ondata-driven algorithm and techniques [5ndash8] Based on thebasic data-driven methods for process monitoring and faultdiagnosis a comparison study in [9] is provided Authorsin [9] illustrated the efficiencies of data-driven methods dis-cussed in their paper through the application of an industrialbenchmark of Tennessee Eastman (TE) process
The most important mathematical tools in statisticaltechniques filtering algorithm and wavelet analysis arecommonly used in data preprocessing and data-driven fieldIn the process of data acquisition redundancy and mea-surement noise will be introduced inevitably These errorpoints can bring great impacts on the model reconstructionand analysis of data feature In order to extract the featureof data better data filtering must be applied to make theerrors removed Authors in [10] proposed an intelligent datafiltering method based on artificial neural networks to detectbearing defects of induction motors In [11] a robust 119867

in terms of linearmatrix inequality (LMI) approach for linearcontinuous-time systems with a state-space model subjectto parameter uncertainty that belongs to a given convexbounded polyhedral domain In [13] a filtering algorithm for

The wavelet analysis theory is gradually developing tobecome one of important technologies in the dynamic mea-surement signal process field by its advantage of multires-olution and multidimensional analysis on time frequencyAuthors in [14] propose control strategy for the energymanagement which is based on the combination of wavelettransform and neural network arithmetic In the controlstrategy proposed wavelet is in charge of decomposing andthen reconfiguring the power difference between generatedpower and consumed power by loads In [15] authors addressan application of wavelet networks in identification andcontrol design for a class of structures equipped with a typeof semiactive actuators The wavelet analysis theories andmethods are developing and are far frommaturationWaveletanalysis and its application have great potentialities in manyapplied fields of natural science and its application in MMMtest and estimating stress concentration zone is increasing
In this paper according to the foregoing reference amethod of multisource information processing andmultifea-ture quantitative evaluation is described to solve the problemsofMMMsignal processing of underground casing First of allmedian filter preprocessing is adopted to eliminate the out-liers point of MMM Secondly based on wavelet transform(WT) the estimation ismade by adaptive threshold ofwavelettransform coefficients with various scaled space signalsthrough optimal soft threshold denoising which restrains thenoise signal to extract gradient and zero-crossing point fea-tures to achieve correct localization of SC zone Thirdly newdiagnostic approach of combined characteristic parametersis put forward to ensure the reliable determination of casingdanger level through LS-SVM and nonlinear quantitativemapping relationship The effectiveness and feasibility of thismethod are verified through experiments

This irreversibility of magnetic state will remain after theelimination of working load which makes it possible toaccomplish the accurate diagnosis of component defects and(or) stress concentration zone through the determinationof normal component 119867
119901(119910) in the magnetic leakage of

119901(119910)d119909| is taken as a measurement indicator
The features of zero-crossing point and gradient value aretwo key characteristic parameters inMMMtesting techniqueExperts from Energodiagnostika Co Ltd have proposedsupplementary rules at the MMM application conference inAnshan in 2004 which is mainly about the comprehensivelocalization of stress concentration zone through maximumgradient area and zero-crossing point area [1ndash4] Though itis easy to locate stress concentration zone according to thesmooth MMM curves like the ones in Figure 1 the actualcurves collected are obviously much more complicated thanwhat is in Figure 1 because noise variation is often includedwhen differential derivative technique is employed whichmakes it hard to extract the accurate gradient value of signalsaltation In addition subsurface environment is extremelyhostile and has the characteristics of high temperature highpressure high humidity and great noise underground casingis wrapped in thermal-protective coating of a large dampingwhich results in worse signal-to-noise ratio of weak MMMsignal or even totally overwhelmed by noise Therefore it isdifficult to extract gradient characteristic value of MMM aswell as achieve quantitative evaluation of danger level whichproves the necessity of MMM signal processing

ground test was carried out in the simulation well of Daqingoilfield During the test short oil well casings with the lengthof 1m were truncated respectively from a 11-meter longoil well casing (specimen is about 14mm wall thickness is76mm) and were labeled as specimen 1 and specimen 2The two specimens were placed respectively in the middleof hydraulic platform of a NYL-300 compression testingmachine and stress tests were carried out in the middle partof the specimens in order to eliminate the effect of end faceThe nominal working strengths were 20 40 and 240 kNStress application was done every other 20 kN and lastedfor 10 minutes each time After each stress application thespecimen was removed and was vertically placed at a fixedposition The experimental facility is shown in Figure 2
Before stress tests there was no stress concentration zonein oil well casing see the MMM curve in Figure 3 Thereis no obvious peak-peak singular feature of local gradientand signal When the working strength is equal to or largerthan 40 kNs pressure the curve showed significant changethat is obvious peak-peak value in Figure 4 and maximumgradient area after Fourier analysis of the curve See Figure 5This proves that MMM signal energy is mainly concentratedin low-frequency area From Figure 6 it can be seen thatin several areas the gradient values are above 8 or close to8 According to the criterion of Russian patent this meansthere is dangerous stress concentration zone (oil well casing

is close to hazardous situation when gradient values areabove 8) However after the experiment conclusion has beendrawn that maximum stress concentration level only appearsintensively in the intermediate region which means thereshould be low stress concentration level in other areas andthe utilization will not be affected Therefore it is difficultto determine danger level depending only on differentialderivative [20] It is necessary to conduct MMM signalprocessing especially under more complicated undergroundenvironment
4 MMM Signal Processing and FeatureExtraction for Oil Well Casing
There is a great influence of underground interference andnoise on MMM data and the main source of noise is foundto be the high-frequency noise of measurement noise andthe interfering signal from probe vibration Since MMMsignal is random signal strictly speaking it lacks stability

Though Fourier analysis can achieve a general analysis onthe spectrum features of MMM signal it does not possesslocal analysis feature of time domain and frequency domain[20] Therefore wavelet analysis is adopted in this section toprocess MMM signal
41 Data Smoothing Since MMM signal is weak spatialdomain signal with low frequency [21 22] it is necessary tofirstly accomplish the smoothing of data collected in order toremove possible interference signal and meaningless isolatedoutliers point To ensure high fidelity of signal amplitude aswell as real time of the testing system without producing newquantization parameters median smooth filter is adoptedConsider
119910 (119898) = Median [119909 (119898) 119909 (119898 minus 1) 119909 (119898 minus 2)] (2)
where 119910(119898) is the output 119909(119898) is the input signal sequencein spatial domain and Median is median function
42Wavelet Analysis Sincewavelet transformation (MT)hasa goodmultiresolution time-frequency analysis featurewhichis capable of reducing noise as well as retaining the edge ithas become the key method of the extraction ofMMM signalsingularity [23ndash26] For MMM signal 119891(119905) which containsnoise the model in wavelet domain is
119910 (119905) = 119891 (119905) + 120575 sdot 119899 (119905) (3)

This indicates that the average density of white noisemodulusmaximum is inverse proportion to the scale that is thegreater the scale is the sparser themodulusmaximumwill beWhileWTof noise on different scales is highly irrelevantWTof MMM singular signal often has a strong correlation thatis local modulus maximums on adjacent scales almost sharethe same position and the same sign which is the theoreticalfoundation of MMM signal processing
43 Wavelet-Based Adaptive Threshold Denoising The prin-ciple of wavelet-based denoising is to accomplish a waveletanalysis onmeasurement signal mixed with noise and to sep-arate them according to the different characteristics betweensignal and noise under WT The wavelet coefficients whichbelong to noise are set to zero wavelet reconstruction iscarried out on the left to get useful signalWavelet coefficientsobtained fromhard thresholdmethod are discrete [22] whichoften result in oscillation effect for signal reconstruction Softthreshold function can achieve smooth denoising of waveletcoefficients in low scales However in high scales it will causea decline of signal-to-noise ratio Therefore it is necessary tocontract wavelet coefficients in low scales as well as protectwavelet coefficients in high scales in order to restrain theoscillation
The combination of soft and hard threshold methods isadopted that means that under the premise of maximumdenoising [23] errors are reduced to the greatest extent withthe purpose of achieving optimal denoising Consider

it can be seen that actually noise threshold will decline alongwith the increase of scales So it is not inadvisable to choosethe fixed threshold value If the threshold value is too largeuseful signal is prone to be filtered out which will have animpact on signal-to-noise ratio So adaptive threshold valueis chosen by (9) which changes according to the scales andstandard deviation Noise standard deviation is estimated asfollows

Therefore new wavelet coefficients are obtained and signalreconstruction is achieved through inverse transforms
Signal denoising procedures are as follows
(1) wavelet coefficients are obtained through six-layerdecomposition according to Db10 wavelet motherfunction
(2) based on (9) the first four-layer threshold valuesare determined and optimal threshold value (7) isemployed to process wavelet coefficients to get newwavelet coefficients
(3) signal is reconstructed through inverse transforms
Data fromFigure 4 is applied to adaptive threshold denoisingsee Figures 7 and 8 It is obvious that gradient valuemaximumof oil well casing in the middle area is 8 and the stressconcentration level is the highest which is in accordancewithexperimental results and should be well focused on Gradientvalues in other areas are less than 4 the stress concentrationzone is relatively smallTherefore gradient values after signaldenoising are more accessible to qualitative and quantitative

After the denoising reconstruction of MMM signal col-lected feature extraction should be accomplished Patentedtechnology raised by Energodiagnostika Co Ltd of Russiais to determine stress concentration zone through gradientvalue maximum and zero-crossing point Gradient valueis considered as characteristic parameter which has beenpointed out in existing researches that one single parameteroften causes misjudgment in real In this section peak-peakvalue and gradient value are chosen to be characteristicparameters as a whole with the purpose of ensuring accuratedetermination of stress concentration zone
Signal peak-peak value PP0 is as follows peak-peak valueis taken as characteristic parameter which eliminates theimpact of signal baseline and enhances the reliability ofdetection because it is an important distribution featureof signal detection When peak-peak value is calculatedmaximum and minimum values of signal are firstly sought
and then absolute value (range) of the difference betweenthese two adjacent extremums is obtained which is easy toachieve through computer Consider
PP0 = max [119891 (119898)] minus min [119891 (119898)] (12)
wheremax[119891(119898)] andmin[119891(119898)] represent a pair of adjacentextremums During the experiment peak-peak value is thekey index
119885 = [119879PP0]119879 refers to the feature vector 119879 is gradientvalueWhen both of the two characteristic component valuesare larger than the corresponding threshold value thereis the real dangerous area of stress concentration zone Ifgradient value is larger than threshold value while peak-peak value is relatively small there is not necessarily a stressconcentration zone but possibly an uncertain area created bynoise Accurate determination needs to be done with the helpof other nondestructive testing methods Qualitative analysisis only a way to determine stress concentration zone of oilwell casing it is unable to satisfy the need of the quantitativeevaluation on danger level which will be in the next section
5 Quantitative Evaluation on Danger Level ofOil Well Casing
Mechanism model which reflects MMM effect is the quan-titative basis of nondestructive testing Present mechanismstudies are mainly based on theories such as common effectof stress and external magnetic field stress magnetization ofenergy maximum principle and stress permeability effectCombined with test data MMMmechanism model is estab-lished from various angles however complete and rigoroustheoretical system has not been formed yet So the scopeof applications is limited In the meantime local elasticand plastic deformation of ferromagnetic material has beennoticed during the experiment and nonlinear variation ofnormal magnetic flux leakage happened on the surface oflocal variation area Therefore feature parameter and stressconcentration of MMM signal are of unknownmathematicalrelation which requires a solution of quantitative evaluationproblem through nonlinear modeling technology Gradientvalue and peak-peak value as combined vector are taken todescribe signal features and there are two input ends Outputends of quantitative model are also two According to thesafe requirement of real engineering oil well casing ldquo00rdquorepresents the fact that elastic deformation is relatively smallwhich has no influence on using ldquo01rdquo shows a relatively largeelastic deformation which requires regular inspection ldquo10rdquomeans that critical plastic changing area protective measuresshould be carried out ldquo11rdquo indicates that severe deformationof oil well casing has happened and they must be replaced
Since 119879PP0 rarr 119884 obtained from experiment is smallsample quantitative classification of danger level throughsmall sample study method is adopted in this section andnonlinear mapping relationship is established through LS-SVM LS-SVM is a machine learning algorithm based onstatistical learning theory Learning according to the principleof structural risk minimization it translates optimizationproblem into a problem of convex quadratic programming

The features of zero-crossing point and gradient value aretwo key characteristic parameters inMMMtesting techniqueExperts from Energodiagnostika Co Ltd have proposedsupplementary rules at the MMM application conference inAnshan in 2004 which is mainly about the comprehensivelocalization of stress concentration zone through maximumgradient area and zero-crossing point area [1ndash4] Though itis easy to locate stress concentration zone according to thesmooth MMM curves like the ones in Figure 1 the actualcurves collected are obviously much more complicated thanwhat is in Figure 1 because noise variation is often includedwhen differential derivative technique is employed whichmakes it hard to extract the accurate gradient value of signalsaltation In addition subsurface environment is extremelyhostile and has the characteristics of high temperature highpressure high humidity and great noise underground casingis wrapped in thermal-protective coating of a large dampingwhich results in worse signal-to-noise ratio of weak MMMsignal or even totally overwhelmed by noise Therefore it isdifficult to extract gradient characteristic value of MMM aswell as achieve quantitative evaluation of danger level whichproves the necessity of MMM signal processing

Before stress tests there was no stress concentration zonein oil well casing see the MMM curve in Figure 3 Thereis no obvious peak-peak singular feature of local gradientand signal When the working strength is equal to or largerthan 40 kNs pressure the curve showed significant changethat is obvious peak-peak value in Figure 4 and maximumgradient area after Fourier analysis of the curve See Figure 5This proves that MMM signal energy is mainly concentratedin low-frequency area From Figure 6 it can be seen thatin several areas the gradient values are above 8 or close to8 According to the criterion of Russian patent this meansthere is dangerous stress concentration zone (oil well casing

is close to hazardous situation when gradient values areabove 8) However after the experiment conclusion has beendrawn that maximum stress concentration level only appearsintensively in the intermediate region which means thereshould be low stress concentration level in other areas andthe utilization will not be affected Therefore it is difficultto determine danger level depending only on differentialderivative [20] It is necessary to conduct MMM signalprocessing especially under more complicated undergroundenvironment
4 MMM Signal Processing and FeatureExtraction for Oil Well Casing
There is a great influence of underground interference andnoise on MMM data and the main source of noise is foundto be the high-frequency noise of measurement noise andthe interfering signal from probe vibration Since MMMsignal is random signal strictly speaking it lacks stability

Though Fourier analysis can achieve a general analysis onthe spectrum features of MMM signal it does not possesslocal analysis feature of time domain and frequency domain[20] Therefore wavelet analysis is adopted in this section toprocess MMM signal
41 Data Smoothing Since MMM signal is weak spatialdomain signal with low frequency [21 22] it is necessary tofirstly accomplish the smoothing of data collected in order toremove possible interference signal and meaningless isolatedoutliers point To ensure high fidelity of signal amplitude aswell as real time of the testing system without producing newquantization parameters median smooth filter is adoptedConsider
119910 (119898) = Median [119909 (119898) 119909 (119898 minus 1) 119909 (119898 minus 2)] (2)
where 119910(119898) is the output 119909(119898) is the input signal sequencein spatial domain and Median is median function
42Wavelet Analysis Sincewavelet transformation (MT)hasa goodmultiresolution time-frequency analysis featurewhichis capable of reducing noise as well as retaining the edge ithas become the key method of the extraction ofMMM signalsingularity [23ndash26] For MMM signal 119891(119905) which containsnoise the model in wavelet domain is
119910 (119905) = 119891 (119905) + 120575 sdot 119899 (119905) (3)
where 119899(119905) represents Gaussian white noise and 120590119899indicates
noise intensity 119864[119899(119905)] shows the mathematical expectationof random variable thus

This indicates that the average density of white noisemodulusmaximum is inverse proportion to the scale that is thegreater the scale is the sparser themodulusmaximumwill beWhileWTof noise on different scales is highly irrelevantWTof MMM singular signal often has a strong correlation thatis local modulus maximums on adjacent scales almost sharethe same position and the same sign which is the theoreticalfoundation of MMM signal processing
43 Wavelet-Based Adaptive Threshold Denoising The prin-ciple of wavelet-based denoising is to accomplish a waveletanalysis onmeasurement signal mixed with noise and to sep-arate them according to the different characteristics betweensignal and noise under WT The wavelet coefficients whichbelong to noise are set to zero wavelet reconstruction iscarried out on the left to get useful signalWavelet coefficientsobtained fromhard thresholdmethod are discrete [22] whichoften result in oscillation effect for signal reconstruction Softthreshold function can achieve smooth denoising of waveletcoefficients in low scales However in high scales it will causea decline of signal-to-noise ratio Therefore it is necessary tocontract wavelet coefficients in low scales as well as protectwavelet coefficients in high scales in order to restrain theoscillation
The combination of soft and hard threshold methods isadopted that means that under the premise of maximumdenoising [23] errors are reduced to the greatest extent withthe purpose of achieving optimal denoising Consider

it can be seen that actually noise threshold will decline alongwith the increase of scales So it is not inadvisable to choosethe fixed threshold value If the threshold value is too largeuseful signal is prone to be filtered out which will have animpact on signal-to-noise ratio So adaptive threshold valueis chosen by (9) which changes according to the scales andstandard deviation Noise standard deviation is estimated asfollows

Therefore new wavelet coefficients are obtained and signalreconstruction is achieved through inverse transforms
Signal denoising procedures are as follows
(1) wavelet coefficients are obtained through six-layerdecomposition according to Db10 wavelet motherfunction
(2) based on (9) the first four-layer threshold valuesare determined and optimal threshold value (7) isemployed to process wavelet coefficients to get newwavelet coefficients
(3) signal is reconstructed through inverse transforms
Data fromFigure 4 is applied to adaptive threshold denoisingsee Figures 7 and 8 It is obvious that gradient valuemaximumof oil well casing in the middle area is 8 and the stressconcentration level is the highest which is in accordancewithexperimental results and should be well focused on Gradientvalues in other areas are less than 4 the stress concentrationzone is relatively smallTherefore gradient values after signaldenoising are more accessible to qualitative and quantitative

After the denoising reconstruction of MMM signal col-lected feature extraction should be accomplished Patentedtechnology raised by Energodiagnostika Co Ltd of Russiais to determine stress concentration zone through gradientvalue maximum and zero-crossing point Gradient valueis considered as characteristic parameter which has beenpointed out in existing researches that one single parameteroften causes misjudgment in real In this section peak-peakvalue and gradient value are chosen to be characteristicparameters as a whole with the purpose of ensuring accuratedetermination of stress concentration zone
Signal peak-peak value PP0 is as follows peak-peak valueis taken as characteristic parameter which eliminates theimpact of signal baseline and enhances the reliability ofdetection because it is an important distribution featureof signal detection When peak-peak value is calculatedmaximum and minimum values of signal are firstly sought
and then absolute value (range) of the difference betweenthese two adjacent extremums is obtained which is easy toachieve through computer Consider
PP0 = max [119891 (119898)] minus min [119891 (119898)] (12)
wheremax[119891(119898)] andmin[119891(119898)] represent a pair of adjacentextremums During the experiment peak-peak value is thekey index
119885 = [119879PP0]119879 refers to the feature vector 119879 is gradientvalueWhen both of the two characteristic component valuesare larger than the corresponding threshold value thereis the real dangerous area of stress concentration zone Ifgradient value is larger than threshold value while peak-peak value is relatively small there is not necessarily a stressconcentration zone but possibly an uncertain area created bynoise Accurate determination needs to be done with the helpof other nondestructive testing methods Qualitative analysisis only a way to determine stress concentration zone of oilwell casing it is unable to satisfy the need of the quantitativeevaluation on danger level which will be in the next section

Since 119879PP0 rarr 119884 obtained from experiment is smallsample quantitative classification of danger level throughsmall sample study method is adopted in this section andnonlinear mapping relationship is established through LS-SVM LS-SVM is a machine learning algorithm based onstatistical learning theory Learning according to the principleof structural risk minimization it translates optimizationproblem into a problem of convex quadratic programming

is close to hazardous situation when gradient values areabove 8) However after the experiment conclusion has beendrawn that maximum stress concentration level only appearsintensively in the intermediate region which means thereshould be low stress concentration level in other areas andthe utilization will not be affected Therefore it is difficultto determine danger level depending only on differentialderivative [20] It is necessary to conduct MMM signalprocessing especially under more complicated undergroundenvironment
4 MMM Signal Processing and FeatureExtraction for Oil Well Casing
There is a great influence of underground interference andnoise on MMM data and the main source of noise is foundto be the high-frequency noise of measurement noise andthe interfering signal from probe vibration Since MMMsignal is random signal strictly speaking it lacks stability

Figure 6 Gradient value variation of MMM signal
Though Fourier analysis can achieve a general analysis onthe spectrum features of MMM signal it does not possesslocal analysis feature of time domain and frequency domain[20] Therefore wavelet analysis is adopted in this section toprocess MMM signal
41 Data Smoothing Since MMM signal is weak spatialdomain signal with low frequency [21 22] it is necessary tofirstly accomplish the smoothing of data collected in order toremove possible interference signal and meaningless isolatedoutliers point To ensure high fidelity of signal amplitude aswell as real time of the testing system without producing newquantization parameters median smooth filter is adoptedConsider
119910 (119898) = Median [119909 (119898) 119909 (119898 minus 1) 119909 (119898 minus 2)] (2)
where 119910(119898) is the output 119909(119898) is the input signal sequencein spatial domain and Median is median function
42Wavelet Analysis Sincewavelet transformation (MT)hasa goodmultiresolution time-frequency analysis featurewhichis capable of reducing noise as well as retaining the edge ithas become the key method of the extraction ofMMM signalsingularity [23ndash26] For MMM signal 119891(119905) which containsnoise the model in wavelet domain is
119910 (119905) = 119891 (119905) + 120575 sdot 119899 (119905) (3)
where 119899(119905) represents Gaussian white noise and 120590119899indicates
noise intensity 119864[119899(119905)] shows the mathematical expectationof random variable thus
119864 [119899 (119905)] = 0 119864 [119899 (119906) 119899 (V)] = 1205902

This indicates that the average density of white noisemodulusmaximum is inverse proportion to the scale that is thegreater the scale is the sparser themodulusmaximumwill beWhileWTof noise on different scales is highly irrelevantWTof MMM singular signal often has a strong correlation thatis local modulus maximums on adjacent scales almost sharethe same position and the same sign which is the theoreticalfoundation of MMM signal processing
43 Wavelet-Based Adaptive Threshold Denoising The prin-ciple of wavelet-based denoising is to accomplish a waveletanalysis onmeasurement signal mixed with noise and to sep-arate them according to the different characteristics betweensignal and noise under WT The wavelet coefficients whichbelong to noise are set to zero wavelet reconstruction iscarried out on the left to get useful signalWavelet coefficientsobtained fromhard thresholdmethod are discrete [22] whichoften result in oscillation effect for signal reconstruction Softthreshold function can achieve smooth denoising of waveletcoefficients in low scales However in high scales it will causea decline of signal-to-noise ratio Therefore it is necessary tocontract wavelet coefficients in low scales as well as protectwavelet coefficients in high scales in order to restrain theoscillation
The combination of soft and hard threshold methods isadopted that means that under the premise of maximumdenoising [23] errors are reduced to the greatest extent withthe purpose of achieving optimal denoising Consider

it can be seen that actually noise threshold will decline alongwith the increase of scales So it is not inadvisable to choosethe fixed threshold value If the threshold value is too largeuseful signal is prone to be filtered out which will have animpact on signal-to-noise ratio So adaptive threshold valueis chosen by (9) which changes according to the scales andstandard deviation Noise standard deviation is estimated asfollows

Therefore new wavelet coefficients are obtained and signalreconstruction is achieved through inverse transforms
Signal denoising procedures are as follows
(1) wavelet coefficients are obtained through six-layerdecomposition according to Db10 wavelet motherfunction
(2) based on (9) the first four-layer threshold valuesare determined and optimal threshold value (7) isemployed to process wavelet coefficients to get newwavelet coefficients
(3) signal is reconstructed through inverse transforms
Data fromFigure 4 is applied to adaptive threshold denoisingsee Figures 7 and 8 It is obvious that gradient valuemaximumof oil well casing in the middle area is 8 and the stressconcentration level is the highest which is in accordancewithexperimental results and should be well focused on Gradientvalues in other areas are less than 4 the stress concentrationzone is relatively smallTherefore gradient values after signaldenoising are more accessible to qualitative and quantitative

After the denoising reconstruction of MMM signal col-lected feature extraction should be accomplished Patentedtechnology raised by Energodiagnostika Co Ltd of Russiais to determine stress concentration zone through gradientvalue maximum and zero-crossing point Gradient valueis considered as characteristic parameter which has beenpointed out in existing researches that one single parameteroften causes misjudgment in real In this section peak-peakvalue and gradient value are chosen to be characteristicparameters as a whole with the purpose of ensuring accuratedetermination of stress concentration zone
Signal peak-peak value PP0 is as follows peak-peak valueis taken as characteristic parameter which eliminates theimpact of signal baseline and enhances the reliability ofdetection because it is an important distribution featureof signal detection When peak-peak value is calculatedmaximum and minimum values of signal are firstly sought
and then absolute value (range) of the difference betweenthese two adjacent extremums is obtained which is easy toachieve through computer Consider
PP0 = max [119891 (119898)] minus min [119891 (119898)] (12)
wheremax[119891(119898)] andmin[119891(119898)] represent a pair of adjacentextremums During the experiment peak-peak value is thekey index
119885 = [119879PP0]119879 refers to the feature vector 119879 is gradientvalueWhen both of the two characteristic component valuesare larger than the corresponding threshold value thereis the real dangerous area of stress concentration zone Ifgradient value is larger than threshold value while peak-peak value is relatively small there is not necessarily a stressconcentration zone but possibly an uncertain area created bynoise Accurate determination needs to be done with the helpof other nondestructive testing methods Qualitative analysisis only a way to determine stress concentration zone of oilwell casing it is unable to satisfy the need of the quantitativeevaluation on danger level which will be in the next section
5 Quantitative Evaluation on Danger Level ofOil Well Casing
Mechanism model which reflects MMM effect is the quan-titative basis of nondestructive testing Present mechanismstudies are mainly based on theories such as common effectof stress and external magnetic field stress magnetization ofenergy maximum principle and stress permeability effectCombined with test data MMMmechanism model is estab-lished from various angles however complete and rigoroustheoretical system has not been formed yet So the scopeof applications is limited In the meantime local elasticand plastic deformation of ferromagnetic material has beennoticed during the experiment and nonlinear variation ofnormal magnetic flux leakage happened on the surface oflocal variation area Therefore feature parameter and stressconcentration of MMM signal are of unknownmathematicalrelation which requires a solution of quantitative evaluationproblem through nonlinear modeling technology Gradientvalue and peak-peak value as combined vector are taken todescribe signal features and there are two input ends Outputends of quantitative model are also two According to thesafe requirement of real engineering oil well casing ldquo00rdquorepresents the fact that elastic deformation is relatively smallwhich has no influence on using ldquo01rdquo shows a relatively largeelastic deformation which requires regular inspection ldquo10rdquomeans that critical plastic changing area protective measuresshould be carried out ldquo11rdquo indicates that severe deformationof oil well casing has happened and they must be replaced
Since 119879PP0 rarr 119884 obtained from experiment is smallsample quantitative classification of danger level throughsmall sample study method is adopted in this section andnonlinear mapping relationship is established through LS-SVM LS-SVM is a machine learning algorithm based onstatistical learning theory Learning according to the principleof structural risk minimization it translates optimizationproblem into a problem of convex quadratic programming

This indicates that the average density of white noisemodulusmaximum is inverse proportion to the scale that is thegreater the scale is the sparser themodulusmaximumwill beWhileWTof noise on different scales is highly irrelevantWTof MMM singular signal often has a strong correlation thatis local modulus maximums on adjacent scales almost sharethe same position and the same sign which is the theoreticalfoundation of MMM signal processing
43 Wavelet-Based Adaptive Threshold Denoising The prin-ciple of wavelet-based denoising is to accomplish a waveletanalysis onmeasurement signal mixed with noise and to sep-arate them according to the different characteristics betweensignal and noise under WT The wavelet coefficients whichbelong to noise are set to zero wavelet reconstruction iscarried out on the left to get useful signalWavelet coefficientsobtained fromhard thresholdmethod are discrete [22] whichoften result in oscillation effect for signal reconstruction Softthreshold function can achieve smooth denoising of waveletcoefficients in low scales However in high scales it will causea decline of signal-to-noise ratio Therefore it is necessary tocontract wavelet coefficients in low scales as well as protectwavelet coefficients in high scales in order to restrain theoscillation
The combination of soft and hard threshold methods isadopted that means that under the premise of maximumdenoising [23] errors are reduced to the greatest extent withthe purpose of achieving optimal denoising Consider

it can be seen that actually noise threshold will decline alongwith the increase of scales So it is not inadvisable to choosethe fixed threshold value If the threshold value is too largeuseful signal is prone to be filtered out which will have animpact on signal-to-noise ratio So adaptive threshold valueis chosen by (9) which changes according to the scales andstandard deviation Noise standard deviation is estimated asfollows

Therefore new wavelet coefficients are obtained and signalreconstruction is achieved through inverse transforms
Signal denoising procedures are as follows
(1) wavelet coefficients are obtained through six-layerdecomposition according to Db10 wavelet motherfunction
(2) based on (9) the first four-layer threshold valuesare determined and optimal threshold value (7) isemployed to process wavelet coefficients to get newwavelet coefficients
(3) signal is reconstructed through inverse transforms
Data fromFigure 4 is applied to adaptive threshold denoisingsee Figures 7 and 8 It is obvious that gradient valuemaximumof oil well casing in the middle area is 8 and the stressconcentration level is the highest which is in accordancewithexperimental results and should be well focused on Gradientvalues in other areas are less than 4 the stress concentrationzone is relatively smallTherefore gradient values after signaldenoising are more accessible to qualitative and quantitative

After the denoising reconstruction of MMM signal col-lected feature extraction should be accomplished Patentedtechnology raised by Energodiagnostika Co Ltd of Russiais to determine stress concentration zone through gradientvalue maximum and zero-crossing point Gradient valueis considered as characteristic parameter which has beenpointed out in existing researches that one single parameteroften causes misjudgment in real In this section peak-peakvalue and gradient value are chosen to be characteristicparameters as a whole with the purpose of ensuring accuratedetermination of stress concentration zone
Signal peak-peak value PP0 is as follows peak-peak valueis taken as characteristic parameter which eliminates theimpact of signal baseline and enhances the reliability ofdetection because it is an important distribution featureof signal detection When peak-peak value is calculatedmaximum and minimum values of signal are firstly sought
and then absolute value (range) of the difference betweenthese two adjacent extremums is obtained which is easy toachieve through computer Consider
PP0 = max [119891 (119898)] minus min [119891 (119898)] (12)
wheremax[119891(119898)] andmin[119891(119898)] represent a pair of adjacentextremums During the experiment peak-peak value is thekey index
119885 = [119879PP0]119879 refers to the feature vector 119879 is gradientvalueWhen both of the two characteristic component valuesare larger than the corresponding threshold value thereis the real dangerous area of stress concentration zone Ifgradient value is larger than threshold value while peak-peak value is relatively small there is not necessarily a stressconcentration zone but possibly an uncertain area created bynoise Accurate determination needs to be done with the helpof other nondestructive testing methods Qualitative analysisis only a way to determine stress concentration zone of oilwell casing it is unable to satisfy the need of the quantitativeevaluation on danger level which will be in the next section
5 Quantitative Evaluation on Danger Level ofOil Well Casing
Mechanism model which reflects MMM effect is the quan-titative basis of nondestructive testing Present mechanismstudies are mainly based on theories such as common effectof stress and external magnetic field stress magnetization ofenergy maximum principle and stress permeability effectCombined with test data MMMmechanism model is estab-lished from various angles however complete and rigoroustheoretical system has not been formed yet So the scopeof applications is limited In the meantime local elasticand plastic deformation of ferromagnetic material has beennoticed during the experiment and nonlinear variation ofnormal magnetic flux leakage happened on the surface oflocal variation area Therefore feature parameter and stressconcentration of MMM signal are of unknownmathematicalrelation which requires a solution of quantitative evaluationproblem through nonlinear modeling technology Gradientvalue and peak-peak value as combined vector are taken todescribe signal features and there are two input ends Outputends of quantitative model are also two According to thesafe requirement of real engineering oil well casing ldquo00rdquorepresents the fact that elastic deformation is relatively smallwhich has no influence on using ldquo01rdquo shows a relatively largeelastic deformation which requires regular inspection ldquo10rdquomeans that critical plastic changing area protective measuresshould be carried out ldquo11rdquo indicates that severe deformationof oil well casing has happened and they must be replaced
Since 119879PP0 rarr 119884 obtained from experiment is smallsample quantitative classification of danger level throughsmall sample study method is adopted in this section andnonlinear mapping relationship is established through LS-SVM LS-SVM is a machine learning algorithm based onstatistical learning theory Learning according to the principleof structural risk minimization it translates optimizationproblem into a problem of convex quadratic programming

Figure 11 The casing after MMM testing
zone for oil well casing Due to the complicated undergroundenvironment and various interferences digital processingtechnology is introduced to MMM analysis software in orderto enhance signal-to-noise ratio as well as eliminate high-frequency noise In addition smooth data fromfilter process-ing achieve accurate feature extraction of MMM signal Atthe same time new combined feature vector is put forwardwhich is used to closely approach the nonlinear relationshipof magnetic flux leakage signal and danger level throughSVM Therefore the stress concentration level for oil wellcasing could be predicted in a timely and reliable mannerAnd it should also be noted that MMM is influenced bytemperature greatly With the oil well casing drilling intothe ground geothermal temperature will inevitably have animpact on the MMM signals In the future work effortswill be made to design the robust hardware to reduce thetemperature drift It is also a challenge to use advanced data-driven technology to deal with the complex MMM signalsand remove the disturbance effect of geothermal temperature

Figure 8 MMM gradient value after adaptive denoising
evaluation on service life of oil well casing for influence ofnoise is eliminated
After the denoising reconstruction of MMM signal col-lected feature extraction should be accomplished Patentedtechnology raised by Energodiagnostika Co Ltd of Russiais to determine stress concentration zone through gradientvalue maximum and zero-crossing point Gradient valueis considered as characteristic parameter which has beenpointed out in existing researches that one single parameteroften causes misjudgment in real In this section peak-peakvalue and gradient value are chosen to be characteristicparameters as a whole with the purpose of ensuring accuratedetermination of stress concentration zone
Signal peak-peak value PP0 is as follows peak-peak valueis taken as characteristic parameter which eliminates theimpact of signal baseline and enhances the reliability ofdetection because it is an important distribution featureof signal detection When peak-peak value is calculatedmaximum and minimum values of signal are firstly sought
and then absolute value (range) of the difference betweenthese two adjacent extremums is obtained which is easy toachieve through computer Consider
PP0 = max [119891 (119898)] minus min [119891 (119898)] (12)
wheremax[119891(119898)] andmin[119891(119898)] represent a pair of adjacentextremums During the experiment peak-peak value is thekey index
119885 = [119879PP0]119879 refers to the feature vector 119879 is gradientvalueWhen both of the two characteristic component valuesare larger than the corresponding threshold value thereis the real dangerous area of stress concentration zone Ifgradient value is larger than threshold value while peak-peak value is relatively small there is not necessarily a stressconcentration zone but possibly an uncertain area created bynoise Accurate determination needs to be done with the helpof other nondestructive testing methods Qualitative analysisis only a way to determine stress concentration zone of oilwell casing it is unable to satisfy the need of the quantitativeevaluation on danger level which will be in the next section
5 Quantitative Evaluation on Danger Level ofOil Well Casing
Mechanism model which reflects MMM effect is the quan-titative basis of nondestructive testing Present mechanismstudies are mainly based on theories such as common effectof stress and external magnetic field stress magnetization ofenergy maximum principle and stress permeability effectCombined with test data MMMmechanism model is estab-lished from various angles however complete and rigoroustheoretical system has not been formed yet So the scopeof applications is limited In the meantime local elasticand plastic deformation of ferromagnetic material has beennoticed during the experiment and nonlinear variation ofnormal magnetic flux leakage happened on the surface oflocal variation area Therefore feature parameter and stressconcentration of MMM signal are of unknownmathematicalrelation which requires a solution of quantitative evaluationproblem through nonlinear modeling technology Gradientvalue and peak-peak value as combined vector are taken todescribe signal features and there are two input ends Outputends of quantitative model are also two According to thesafe requirement of real engineering oil well casing ldquo00rdquorepresents the fact that elastic deformation is relatively smallwhich has no influence on using ldquo01rdquo shows a relatively largeelastic deformation which requires regular inspection ldquo10rdquomeans that critical plastic changing area protective measuresshould be carried out ldquo11rdquo indicates that severe deformationof oil well casing has happened and they must be replaced
Since 119879PP0 rarr 119884 obtained from experiment is smallsample quantitative classification of danger level throughsmall sample study method is adopted in this section andnonlinear mapping relationship is established through LS-SVM LS-SVM is a machine learning algorithm based onstatistical learning theory Learning according to the principleof structural risk minimization it translates optimizationproblem into a problem of convex quadratic programming

Figure 9 Probe device of underground MMM testing
Table 1 is the results of danger level classification for oilwell casing in which the first ten groups are training samplesand the last two are testing samples Therefore quantitativeevaluation of danger level for oil well casing is achievedthrough support vector machine
Notation 1 Accurate classification requires a large quantity oftraining samples Samples given here are related to the modelnumber of MMM device (has an influence on the sensitivityof characteristic parameter) and material and model numberof oil well casing Experimental facility of underground test inDaqing Oilfield (located in Heilongjiang Province in China)is shown in Figures 9 and 10 and research results are the sameas ground ones no repeat will be done here The casing afterMMM testing is shown in Figure 11 As the casing cube isnondestructive the MMM testing technique is suitable forpractical application
6 Conclusion
The experiment indicates that MMM is capable of achievingan effective prediction on underground stress concentration
8 Abstract and Applied Analysis
Figure 10 Sketch of scan test
Figure 11 The casing after MMM testing
zone for oil well casing Due to the complicated undergroundenvironment and various interferences digital processingtechnology is introduced to MMM analysis software in orderto enhance signal-to-noise ratio as well as eliminate high-frequency noise In addition smooth data fromfilter process-ing achieve accurate feature extraction of MMM signal Atthe same time new combined feature vector is put forwardwhich is used to closely approach the nonlinear relationshipof magnetic flux leakage signal and danger level throughSVM Therefore the stress concentration level for oil wellcasing could be predicted in a timely and reliable mannerAnd it should also be noted that MMM is influenced bytemperature greatly With the oil well casing drilling intothe ground geothermal temperature will inevitably have animpact on the MMM signals In the future work effortswill be made to design the robust hardware to reduce thetemperature drift It is also a challenge to use advanced data-driven technology to deal with the complex MMM signalsand remove the disturbance effect of geothermal temperature

Figure 9 Probe device of underground MMM testing
Table 1 is the results of danger level classification for oilwell casing in which the first ten groups are training samplesand the last two are testing samples Therefore quantitativeevaluation of danger level for oil well casing is achievedthrough support vector machine
Notation 1 Accurate classification requires a large quantity oftraining samples Samples given here are related to the modelnumber of MMM device (has an influence on the sensitivityof characteristic parameter) and material and model numberof oil well casing Experimental facility of underground test inDaqing Oilfield (located in Heilongjiang Province in China)is shown in Figures 9 and 10 and research results are the sameas ground ones no repeat will be done here The casing afterMMM testing is shown in Figure 11 As the casing cube isnondestructive the MMM testing technique is suitable forpractical application
6 Conclusion
The experiment indicates that MMM is capable of achievingan effective prediction on underground stress concentration
8 Abstract and Applied Analysis

Figure 11 The casing after MMM testing
zone for oil well casing Due to the complicated undergroundenvironment and various interferences digital processingtechnology is introduced to MMM analysis software in orderto enhance signal-to-noise ratio as well as eliminate high-frequency noise In addition smooth data fromfilter process-ing achieve accurate feature extraction of MMM signal Atthe same time new combined feature vector is put forwardwhich is used to closely approach the nonlinear relationshipof magnetic flux leakage signal and danger level throughSVM Therefore the stress concentration level for oil wellcasing could be predicted in a timely and reliable mannerAnd it should also be noted that MMM is influenced bytemperature greatly With the oil well casing drilling intothe ground geothermal temperature will inevitably have animpact on the MMM signals In the future work effortswill be made to design the robust hardware to reduce thetemperature drift It is also a challenge to use advanced data-driven technology to deal with the complex MMM signalsand remove the disturbance effect of geothermal temperature
