Abstract:
A high temperature and high pressure fiber optic feedthrough is set forth to enable communication to the interior of a pressure housing making up a downhole logging tool. An optical fiber is stripped of protective wraps and coverings other than a fluorocarbon coating. It is inserted into a feedthrough fitting formed of an elongate body that feeds to the pressure housing. There is an axial bore which has an internal cavity at the upper end. This cavity receives a conic section of a resilient body which is deformable. Through the use of a specially designed syringe, the optical fiber is passed through this cavity and is positioned on the interior bore of the body. The resilient material is able to expand on application of pressure. The cavity is closed by means of a retainer nut and wear washer. When the nut is tightened, the resilient material extrudes around and along the optical fiber and seals against it to perfect a high pressure, high temperature seal against the intrusion of well fluids.
