Abstract:
An inexpensive electrically conductive carrier is added to well bore fluids thereby allowing for a closed loop real-time data communication system for topside management of all downhole equipment including drilling, completion, production, logging, and workover equipment. Conductive carrier fluid provides a “real-time” digital and analog bi-directional data and communication solution between the surface operations of a well-bore and downhole tools. Conductive carrier fluid provides for the application of more sophisticated software essential for exact control requirements of sophisticated downhole equipment, thereby achieving optimized tool performance as well as future downhole tools.
