    摘要: A mud-pulse telemetry tool (46) carried by a drill collar and comprising a stator (62), positionally fixed relative to the drill collar, and a rotor (64), axially offset from the stator by a gap. A first actuator (58) is operable to cause selective rotation of the rotor relative to the stator. A second actuator (59) is operable to cause selective adjustment of the gap during operation of the mud-pulse telemetry tool within a wellbore. Such telemetry tool may form a pressure pulse generator, operable to generate a pressure wave in drilling mud in the wellbore, and a data encoder, operable to receive data from a data source and vary the pressure wave based on the data such that the pressure wave encodes the data, wherein the pressure pulse generator and the data encoder are collectively operable to modulate the data-encoded pressure wave utilizing at least three different pressure levels.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for transmitting and receiving acoustic data signals in a well containing a drill string. The system includes devices for transmitting acoustic signals through the drill string, drilling mud, and formation, and further includes methods for transmitting and interpreting the acoustic signal so as to maximize accuracy of the transmission. The methods of the present invention include correlating signals transmitted along different paths or paths of different lengths, using frequency shift keying transmission, using shear waves to transmit signals through downhole equipment and using compression waves to transmit signals through the mud. The signals further give information about the frequency dependence of formation speed of sound and formation acoustic attenuation. The method also give information for imaging the locations of reflective boundaries in the material surrounding the borehole. The system offers the advantage to the driller of receiving essentially real time information about properties of the formation surrounding the bit.

    摘要: A reciprocating mud pulser system comprising a poppet (103) and a stationary valve assembly (25) with axial flow passages (109). The poppet (103) reciprocates close to the valve assembly, blocking the flow through the valve assembly and generating oscillating pressure pulses. The poppet (103) passes through two zero speed positions per cycle, enabling rapid changes in signal phase, frequency, and/or amplitude thereby facilitating enhanced data encoding like ASK, PSK or FSK . The poppet (103) is driven by a linear electric motor (104) disposed in a lubricant filled housing (108). The housing to shaft seal consists of bellows (107). A force balance spring (105) is used to offset the hydraulic forces on the poppet (103). A bypass poppet (160) is used to adjust the differential pressure across the valve assembly.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for generating and transmitting data signals to the surface of the earth while drilling a borehole, the system operating by generating pressure pulses in the drilling fluid filling the drill string. The system is designed to maximize signal strength while minimizing the probability of jamming by drilling fluid particulates. The system uses a rotary valve modulator consisting of a stator with flow orifices through which drilling fluid flows, and a rotor which rotates with respect to the stator thereby opening and restricting flow through the orifices and thereby generating pressure pulses. The flow orifices with the stator in a "closed" position are configured to reduce jamming, and to simultaneously minimize flow area in order to maximize signal strength. This is accomplished by imparting a shear to the fluid flow through the modulator, and minimizing the aspect ratio and maximizing the minimum principal dimension of the closed flow area. A preferred embodiment and three alternate embodiments of the modulator are disclosed.

    摘要: An integrated modulator and turbine-generator includes a turbine impeller (58) which is directly coupled by a drive shaft (54) to a modulator rotor (60) downstream from the impeller (58). The modulator rotor (60) is further coupled by a drive shaft (54) and a gear train to a three phase alternator (64) downstream of the modulator rotor. The modulator stator blades (52) are arranged downstream of and adjacent to the modulator rotor (60) and the alternator (64) is provided with a Hall effect tachometer. The turbine impeller (58) directly drives the modulator rotor (60) and the alternator (64) generates power. The speed of rotation of the modulator rotor (60) is adjusted by reference to the speed of rotation of the alternator (64) as indicated by the tachometer and to a reference frequency. A control circuit including an electromagnetic braking circuit coupled to the tachometer and the stator windings of the alternator (64) stabilizes the alternator speed and thus the rotor speed and modulates the rotor (60) to obtain the desired frequency of the mudborne pressure wave by selectively shorting the stator windings of the alternator. During periods when braking is not applied, the alternator (64) generates power for control and sensor electronics.
