    摘要: The invention is an acoustic transmitter (301, 401) that imparts vibratory stresses onto a signal propagation medium such as oil well tubing when actuated by an electric driver. In one embodiment, the acoustic transmitter (301, 401) utilizes a mechanical driver that includes piezoelectric elements (304) to generate the vibratory stresses. The acoustic transmitter (301, 401) is mechanically attached at only one point to the signal propagation medium. This single point attachment eliminates loading on the acoustic transmitter (301, 401) from compressive and tensile forces carried by the signal propagation medium. A mass (406) backing the mechanical driver may be used to extend the frequency range over which the acoustic transmitter (301, 401) is operable. In addition, the resonance response of the acoustic transmitter (301, 401) may be minimized by the use of a viscous dampener (409).; The viscous dampener (409) is configured to "couple" with the mechanical driver when the acoustic transmitter is operating and to "uncouple" with the mechanical driver at other times.

    摘要: The location of a downhole source (30) of a transmitted acoustic signal is determined using at least one downhole signal receiver (40,42,44,46,48). Either or both the triangulation method and the holographic method are used to determine the signal location.

    摘要: A subterranean reservoir (118A,118B) is monitored using an array (140) of sensors (210) disposed on an umbilical cable (211) attached to tubing (126) extending into the well (100). The sensor array includes a series of evenly spaced sensors, eg. three-component accelerometers, individually mounted on biasing members (212), such as bowspring centralizer fins, which clamp the sensors to an outer casing (112) to establish a mechanical coupling between the sensors and the surrounding formation.
