Abstract

A heated fluid injection string (106) injects heated treatment fluid into a well (102) in a subterranean zone (112) and generates an acoustic signal. An acoustic detector (212) detects the acoustic signal, and an acoustic signal analyzer (214) interprets the detected acoustic signal. In some implementations, the acoustic signal analyzer (214) interprets the detected acoustic signal to determine information about at least one of the heated fluid injection string (106), the well (102), or the subterranean zone (112).
