ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus, for deploying a sensor attached to tubing in a highly deviated or horizontal wellbore, that are characterized by a stationary attachment system that securely fixes a sensor to a tubing string such that the sensor is coupled to the casing regardless of the orientation of the tubing within the wellbore. One preferred embodiment includes a clamp assembly that encloses the sensor and clamps around the cubing string. The clamp assembly further includes a plurality of contact members that provide stable contact points between the well casing and the clamp assembly. The embodiments of the present invention act to maintain the sensor in a stable coupling with the casing without any actuation required for installation.
